Encryption without authentication is meaningless, and it's no accident that https has them so tightly linked. If you can't tell that you are securely communicating with mitm, what's the point?
- Silhouette 6y agoSorry, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Authentication without encryption is not meaningless, and if you can authenticate then there are multiple possibilities for setting up encryption for the subsequent communication. Tightly linking the two is not necessary, and not necessarily desirable.
