=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)>; L<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
// ...
};
