Diffie-Hellmann is a key agreement protocol. You can agree on a
secret with another person and no passive listener can get that
secret. DH can not stop an active attack (aka man-in-the-middle).
Then you have to use authentication in combination with DH. DSS
is quite common, but you can also use RSA signatures.
