The theory of diffusive shock acceleration and its application in interplanetary space are reviewed. Special emphasis is placed on the distinction between diffusive and shock-drift shock acceleration, on ion-excitation of MHD waves upstream of the shock and the resulting self-consistent configuration of waves and accelerated ions, and on the mathematical theory of that configuration at quasi-parallel supercritical interplanetary travelling shocks. A comparison of predicted and observed proton anisotropies for the 12 November 1978 event is presented. 77 references.
