Documentation
data Params
Represent Diffie Hellman parameters namely P (prime), and G (generator).
data PublicNumber
Represent Diffie Hellman public number Y.
data PrivateNumber
Represent Diffie Hellman private number X.
generateParams :: CPRG g => g -> Int -> Integer -> (Params, g)
generate params from a specific generator (2 or 5 are common values) we generate a safe prime (a prime number of the form 2p+1 where p is also prime)
generatePrivate :: CPRG g => g -> Int -> (PrivateNumber, g)
generate a private number with no specific property this number is usually called X in DH text.
generatePublic :: Params -> PrivateNumber -> PublicNumber
generate a public number that is for the other party benefits. this number is usually called Y in DH text.
getShared :: Params -> PrivateNumber -> PublicNumber -> SharedKey
generate a shared key using our private number and the other party public number
