Stupid question I'm sure, but does TLS's anonymous DH protect against
man-in-the-middle attacks? If so, how? I cannot figure out how it would,
and it would seem TLS would be wide open to abuse without MITM protection so
I cannot imagine it would be acceptable practice without some form of
security.
