			<Char_Desc_450>MAXA Key Exchanger is a simple way to achieve a secure key exchange, based on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange procedure, which is a cryptographic protocol that allows two parties that have no prior knowledge of each other, to jointly establish a shared secret key over an insecure communications channel (like email or instant messaging). This key can then be used to encrypt subsequent communications using a symmetric key cipher.</Char_Desc_450>
			<Char_Desc_2000>A simple way to achieve a Secure Key Exchange over a network connection by email or instant message, based on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange procedure, which is a cryptographic protocol that allows two parties that have no prior knowledge of each other, to jointly establish a shared secret key over an insecure communications channel. This key can then be used to encrypt subsequent communications using a symmetric key cipher.

How does the key exchange work?

Both parties must download and run MAXA-Key-Exchanger on each of their computers. MKE randomly generates special numbers  which need to be exchanged. Simply copy the block of text and numbers and paste it into an email or instant message.  Yes, we know, email is as insecure as it comes, but it is important to understand that this data exchange does not need to be kept confidential. 

Each person runs the application on their respective machine and sends the data in the first box to the other person.
 
Once each box is filled, simply press “Calculate” and your passphrase is now completed</Char_Desc_2000>

			<Char_Desc_2000>Sicherer und einfacher Schlüsselaustausch, der z. B. per Email oder Sofortnachricht erfolgen kann. Dies wird auf der Basis von Diffie-Hellman durchgeführt. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein Protokoll, welches den beiden Parteien ermöglicht, ohne besondere Vorkenntnisse einen gemeinsamen sicheren Schlüssel zu erstellen um diesen dann auf einem „unsicheren Kanal“ auszutauschen. Dieser Schlüssel bzw. Passphrase kann dann für die symmetrische Verschlüsselung genutzt werden. MAXA-Key-Exchanger kreiert eine gemeinsame Passphrase mit einer Verschlüsselungstiefe von 128 Bit (auf Zufallsbasis aus dem Bereich aller darstellbaren ASCII-Zeichen). Dies sollte als „erster Schritt“ einer sicheren Datenverschlüsselung betrachtet werden.

Wie funktioniert der Schlüsselaustausch?

Beide Parteien starten die Applikation MAXA-Key-Exchanger auf ihrem jeweiligen Rechner. MAXA-Key-Exchanger erstellt dabei eine zufällige Zeichenfolge die zwischen den Parteien ausgetauscht werden muss, indem dieser alphanumerische Block durch Copy &amp; Paste per Email, Sofortnachricht oder sonstigem Medium übertragen wird. Dabei dürfen diese Texte auch über als unsicher eingestufte Übertragungswege ausgetauscht werden, ohne die Sicherheit des Ergebnisschlüssels zu kompromittieren.

Wenn jede dieser Fenster mit dem übertragenen Inhalt gefüllt ist, muss nur noch die Schaltfläche “Gemeinsamen Schlüssel berechnen” gedrückt werden und die Passphrase ist erstellt.</Char_Desc_2000>
