Diffie–Hellman key exchange

Method of exchanging cryptographic keys

Diffie–Hellman (DH) key exchange is a mathematical method of securely generating a symmetric cryptographic key over a public channel. It is named after Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman who published it in 1976. DH is one of the earliest practical examples of key exchange implemented within the field of cryptography.
