diffie-hellman key exchange: a deep dive with examples

the diffie-hellman (dh) key exchange is a cryptographic protocol that enables two parties to establish a shared secret over an insecure communication channel. this shared secret can then be used to encrypt subsequent communications using a symmetric-key algorithm. crucially, dh does *not* encrypt or decrypt messages itself. it's solely a key-agreement protocol. the beauty of dh lies in the fact that the shared secret is computationally infeasible for an eavesdropper to derive, even if they have access to all the exchanged data.

this tutorial will cover the following:

1. *theoretical foundation:* the underlying mathematical principles based on discrete logarithms and modular exponentiation.
2. *algorithm steps:* a detailed walkthrough of the protocol's execution.
3. *security considerations:* vulnerabilities and best practices for secure implementation.
4. *code examples:* python code illustrating the algorithm's implementation.
5. *practical applications:* real-world scenarios where dh is employed.
6. *elliptic curve diffie-hellman (ecdh):* a brief overview of the more efficient elliptic curve variant.

*1. theoretical foundation: discrete logarithms and modular exponentiation*

diffie-hellman's security hinges on the difficulty of solving the discrete logarithm problem. let's break down these concepts:

*modular arithmetic:* this involves performing arithmetic operations within a finite set of integers. the result of an operation is the remainder after dividing by a modulus. for example, `17 mod 5 = 2` because 17 divided by 5 leaves a remainder of 2.

*modular exponentiation:* this is raising a number to a power and then taking the modulus. for example, `3^4 mod 7 = 81 mod 7 = 4`. efficient algorithms exist for performing modular exponentiation, making it relatively easy.

*discrete logarithm problem (dlp):* this is the inverse problem of modular exponentiation. ...
