Man-in-the-Middle Attack

Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

In a man-in-the-middle attack, an attacker intercepts messages and modifies them, and then passes them on to the intended recipient.

SSL's system of certificates and private keys prevents this. An attacker would have to fake a certificate and somehow get it signed with a CA's key.
