Question

I think the answer is yes, because there is no binding identity to a public. Eve would intercept when Alice sends the public key to Cathy. IS that correct? Can you please illustrate how it happens

We have introduced the man-in-the-middle attack in class. When the public key is not properly protected, the attacker (Eve) can use her public key to replace the real public key. Alice designs a scheme to defend against such attacks. We assume that a trusted certificate issuer Cathy will sign the public key of Alice as follows:{ Alice } dcathy{ eAlice } dcathy {timestamp } dcathy Cathy will sign the essential components of the certificate separately. Do you think Alices design is robust enough to defend against a man-in-the-middle attack? If your answer is "Yes", explain how the attack is mitigated. If your answer is "No", show how the attack is conducted

Explanation / Answer

It is absolutely correct
