Hello,

I've to write an application which requires a secured communication channel. To keep the user's effort minimal I want to use pre-shared keys for authentication. Now my question: In my understanding when using PSK-DH the client is authenticated when connecting to the server, but is the server also authenticated against the client? Or in other words: When an attacker replaces the server by his own implementation is the client able to recognize this? Or do I have to use a server certificate to achieve this.

Best regards

Frank
