method

crypto.DiffieHellman.setPrivateKey

privateKey: ArrayBufferView

): void;

Sets the Diffie-Hellman private key. If the encoding argument is provided,privateKey is expected to be a string. If no encoding is provided, privateKey is expected to be a Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView.

This function does not automatically compute the associated public key. Either diffieHellman.setPublicKey() or diffieHellman.generateKeys() can be used to manually provide the public key or to automatically derive it.

privateKey: string,

encoding: BufferEncoding

): void;
