method DiffieHellman.prototype.computeSecret

Usage in Deno

```typescript import { DiffieHellman } from "node:node__crypto.d.ts"; ```



DiffieHellman.prototype.computeSecret(otherPublicKey: ArrayBufferView,
inputEncoding?: null,
outputEncoding?: null,
): Buffer

Computes the shared secret using `otherPublicKey` as the other party's public key and returns the computed shared secret. The supplied key is interpreted using the specified `inputEncoding`, and secret is encoded using specified `outputEncoding`. If the `inputEncoding` is not provided, `otherPublicKey` is expected to be a `Buffer`, `TypedArray`, or `DataView`. If `outputEncoding` is given a string is returned; otherwise, a `Buffer` is returned.

Parameters



otherPublicKey: ArrayBufferView

optional



inputEncoding: null

The `encoding` of an `otherPublicKey` string.

optional



outputEncoding: null

The `encoding` of the return value.

Return Type
