=head1 DESCRIPTION

These functions implement the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol.
The generation of shared DH parameters is described in
L<DH_generate_parameters(3)|DH_generate_parameters(3)>; L<DH_generate_key(3)|DH_generate_key(3)> describes how
to perform a key agreement.

The B<DH> structure consists of several BIGNUM components.

 struct
        {
        BIGNUM *p;		// prime number (shared)
        BIGNUM *g;		// generator of Z_p (shared)
        BIGNUM *priv_key;	// private DH value x
        BIGNUM *pub_key;	// public DH value g^x
        // ...
        };
 DH

Note that DH keys may use non-standard B<DH_METHOD> implementations,
either directly or by the use of B<ENGINE> modules. In some cases (eg. an
ENGINE providing support for hardware-embedded keys), these BIGNUM values
will not be used by the implementation or may be used for alternative data
storage. For this reason, applications should generally avoid using DH
structure elements directly and instead use API functions to query or
modify keys.
