NAME

Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DH - Diffie-Hellman Group Agnostic Key Exchange

SYNOPSIS

# This class should not be used directly, but rather as a base for DH1,
# DH14SHA1, DH16SHA512, etc
# Simply implement _dh_new_group and return the Crypt::DH group
sub _dh_new_group {
my $kex = shift;
...
$dh;
}

DESCRIPTION

Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DH implements Diffie-Hellman Group Agnostic Exchange for Net::SSH::Perl. It is a subclass of Net::SSH::Perl::Kex.

Key Exchange uses the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm to produce a shared secret key between client and server, without ever sending the shared secret over the insecure network. All that is sent are the client and server public keys.
