ECDH, or Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman, is a key exchange protocol that enables two parties to generate a shared secret over an insecure channel using elliptic curve cryptography. This method allows for secure communication by enabling both parties to compute a common key without actually transmitting it, leveraging the mathematical properties of elliptic curves to provide strong security with relatively small key sizes.
congrats on reading the definition of ECDH. now let's actually learn it.
