Generation

The Diffie-Hellman key exchange was the first practical method for two parties to establish a shared secret key over an insecure public channel without any prior shared information. It revolutionized cryptography by enabling secure communication between parties who had never met before, forming the foundation for modern public-key cryptography and secure internet communications like HTTPS.
