Encryption-Decryption-ManInTheMiddle

This project demonstrates a Python-based implementation of the ElGamal encryption scheme, focusing on the vulnerabilities exposed during a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. It serves as an educational tool to understand the mechanics of public-key cryptography and the importance of secure key exchange protocols.

Features

• ElGamal Encryption & Decryption: Implements the ElGamal algorithm for secure message encryption and decryption.
• Man-in-the-Middle Attack Simulation: Illustrates how an attacker can intercept and potentially compromise communications if key exchanges are not securely handled.
• Educational Insight: Provides a practical example of cryptographic concepts and potential vulnerabilities in unsecured channels.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed on your system.
• Basic understanding of cryptographic principles and Python programming.

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/garghub/Encryption-Decryption-ManInTheMiddle.git
   cd Encryption-Decryption-ManInTheMiddle

2. Run the Script: Execute the main Python script to observe the encryption, decryption, and MITM simulation.

   python main.py

   (Note: Replace main.py with the actual script name if different.)

Project Structure

• main.py: The primary script demonstrating the encryption/decryption process and the MITM attack simulation.
• README.md: This file, providing an overview and instructions.
