I am studying for my MCNS test. The Cisco Press book says that Diffie-Hillman public key encryption is used to create a secure channel to exchange DES private keys for data encryption. If Diffie-Hillman is secure enough to transfer the DES private keys, why not use it to transfer the data? This seems silly and needlessly complex. Can someone explain this?
