OpenSSL::PKey::EC provides access to Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH).
ec1 = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.generate("prime256v1") ec2 = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.generate("prime256v1") # ec1 and ec2 have own private key respectively shared_key1 = ec1.dh_compute_key(ec2.public_key) shared_key2 = ec2.dh_compute_key(ec1.public_key) p shared_key1 == shared_key2 #=> true
Obtains a list of all predefined curves by the OpenSSL. Curve names are returned as sn.
