The de-facto standards of the security protocol SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are used to create a connection between two clients or web service which is secure and stable [1]. Man in the middle attack allows the attacker to gain unauthorized entry into the connection between two devices and listen to the network traffic. This type of attack is very fatal because it is almost invisible to the victim device. This survey paper on man in the middle attack focuses on the execution of man in the middle attack on Diffie-Hellman and what are the different methods with which it can be performed and the various defenses against the attack.
