The
crypto.createECDH() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of crypto module which is used to create an
Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman i.e, (ECDH) key exchange object with the help of a predefined curve which is defined by the
curveName string. Moreover you can use crypto.getCurves() method in order to return the list of available curve names.
Syntax:
crypto.createECDH( curveName )
Parameters: This method accepts single parameters
curveName which is of type string.
Return Value: It returns
ECDH key exchange object.
Below examples illustrate the use of
crypto.createECDH() method in Node.js:
Example 1:
Output:
<Buffer 04 01 0a cd d0 94 80 31 e8 ... >
Example 2:
Output:
