METHOD, COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR IMPROVING COMMUNICATION PRIVACY

摘要

A communication method for making computer implemented man-in-the-middle (MITM) costly to succeed. Advantageously, the method does not require secure/trusted network servers. The method utilizes a test (e.g., an obscured pin value) to enable a first human user of a communication device to have a level of confidence that the first user is communicating directly with a second human user, as opposed to communicating with a machine that is pretending to be the second user.
