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

use Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DH;
use base qw( Net::SSH::Perl::Kex::DH );

# 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.
