Diffie and Hellman Receive Turing Award 2015

When we study IPSec, we know Mr. Diffie and Mr. Hellman invented a method in year 1976 that is the core of Internet Key Exchange (IKE) to create mutually shared secret. We also have to specify and configure DH Group Number in ISAKMP policy sets (crypto-map in Cisco IOS).

I am not going to dig in the details about the mathematics behind Diffie-Hellman method. I just want you to know Mr. Diffie and Mr. Hellman receive Turing Award 2015 together.
