Abstract: A cyberattack is a serious crime that could affect medical organizations. These attacks could affect medical organization sensitive data disclosure, loss of organization data, or the business's continuity. The Man-in-The-Middle (MITM) attack is one of the threats that could impact medical organizations. It happens when unapproved outsiders break into the traffic between two parties that think they are conversing directly. At the same time, the adversary can access, read, and change secret information. Because of that, medical organizations lose confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Data encryption is a solution that changes vital information to unreadable by unauthorized and unintended parties. It could involve protecting data with cryptography, usually by leveraging a scrambled code. Only the individuals with the decoding key can read the information. There is no full protection due to the variety of MITM attacks. Each encryption algorithm has its advantages and disadvantages, like the speed of encryption and decryption, strength of the algorithm, and the cipher type. This research investigates the MITM attacks and comprehensively compares the Rivest Shamir Adleman algorithm and the Elliptic Curve Cryptography algorithm.
