Usage in Deno

import { createDiffieHellman } from "node:crypto";
createDiffieHellman(
primeLength: number,
generator?: number,
): DiffieHellman

Creates a DiffieHellman key exchange object using the supplied prime and an optional specific generator.

The generator argument can be a number, string, or Buffer. If generator is not specified, the value 2 is used.

If primeEncoding is specified, prime is expected to be a string; otherwise a Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView is expected.

If generatorEncoding is specified, generator is expected to be a string; otherwise a number, Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView is expected.

Parameters

primeLength: number
optional
generator: number = 2
