Diffie-Hellman Algorithm and Man-in-the-middle attack

843810Sep 15 2003 — edited Sep 16 2003

From the RSA Security site, it says that Diffie-Hellman Algorithm
is susceptable to the Man-in-the-middle attack, because there
is not mechanism to prove the authenticity of the public keys
being exchanged.

Is it true then, the only way to protect against this,
is the use of a signed certificate?
