DiffieHellman Class
Namespace: Rebex.Security.Cryptography
Assembly: Rebex.Common.dll (version 8.0.9673)
Implements Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol (also called exponential key agreement).
Syntax
public abstract class DiffieHellman : AsymmetricAlgorithm, IDisposableInheritance
Implements
Inherited Members
Remarks
This algorithm was developed by Diffie and Hellman in 1976. It allows two users to exchange a secret key over an insecure medium without any prior secrets.
