这个video很好地解释了DH算法的原理,简单清晰。需要稍微了解些取模运算的知识:参见:https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-science/cryptography/modarithmetic/a/modular-addition-and-subtraction?utm_source=pocket_saves
so for Alice: its private number is: 15, she compute: 3^15 % 17 = 6
for Bob, its private number is: 13, he compute: 3^13 % 17 = 12
then they exchange 6 and 12
then Alice compute: 12^15 mod 17, according to mode的指数运算,也即:(3^13)^15 mod 17
then Bob compute: 6^13 mod 17, that is : (3^15)^13 mod 17
the resule is equal, it is 10, it can be used as the shared encrypted key, while for the eva who eavesdrop the communication cannot compute the result(eva knows: 3,17,6,12)
