The Needham–Schroeder protocol is a classic authentication protocol for secure key exchange, designed to allow two parties to communicate securely over a network. It was proposed by Roger Needham and Michael Schroeder in 1978. The protocol is designed to ensure that both parties can authenticate each other and establish a shared secret key for encrypted communication.
