Attack
Encryption using public keys requires the public keys to be ex-
changed first. During this exchange, the unprotected keys can be in-
tercepted easily, making a "man-in-the-middle" attack possible. The

"man-in-the-middle" is used instead of the intended key from the
real communication partner.
