The class for creating Diffie-Hellman key exchanges.
Returned by Crypto.createDiffieHellman.
Methods
computeSecret(other_public_key:String, input_encoding:String, output_encoding:String):String
computeSecret(other_public_key:Buffer):Buffer
computeSecret(other_public_key:String, input_encoding:String):Buffer
Computes the shared secret using other_public_key as the other party's public key
and returns the computed shared secret.
Supplied key is interpreted using specified input_encoding,
and secret is encoded using specified output_encoding.
Encodings can be 'binary', 'hex', or 'base64'.
If the input encoding is not provided, then a buffer is expected.
generateKeys(encoding:String):String
generateKeys():Buffer
Generates private and public Diffie-Hellman key values, and returns the public key in the specified encoding.
This key should be transferred to the other party. encoding can be 'binary', 'hex', or 'base64'.
getGenerator(encoding:String):String
getGenerator():Buffer
Returns the Diffie-Hellman generator in the specified encoding, which can be 'binary', 'hex', or 'base64'. If no encoding is provided, then a buffer is returned.
getPrime(encoding:String):String
getPrime():Buffer
Returns the Diffie-Hellman prime in the specified encoding, which can be 'binary', 'hex', or 'base64'. If no encoding is provided, then a buffer is returned.
getPrivateKey(encoding:String):String
getPrivateKey():Buffer
Returns the Diffie-Hellman private key in the specified encoding, which can be 'binary', 'hex', or 'base64'. If no encoding is provided, then a buffer is returned.
getPublicKey(encoding:String):String
getPublicKey():Buffer
Returns the Diffie-Hellman public key in the specified encoding, which can be 'binary', 'hex', or 'base64'. If no encoding is provided, then a buffer is returned.
setPrivateKey(private_key:String, encoding:String):Void
setPrivateKey(private_key:Buffer):Void
Sets the Diffie-Hellman private key. Key encoding can be 'binary', 'hex' or 'base64'.
If no encoding is provided, then a Buffer is expected.
setPublicKey(public_key:String, encoding:String):Void
setPublicKey(public_key:Buffer):Void
Sets the Diffie-Hellman public key. Key encoding can be 'binary', 'hex' or 'base64'.
If no encoding is provided, then a Buffer is expected.
