crypto.createECDH() Method in Node.js
The crypto.createECDH() is used to create an elliptic curve also known as Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman i.e ECDH that uses a curve predefined by the input parameter curveName. You can use crypto.getCurves to get the list of all the available curve names. This method is part of the 'crypto' module.
Syntax
crypto.createECDH(curveName)
Parameters
The above parameters are described as below
curveName – It takes the input for the curve name. This curveName will deined the predefined curve for creating ECDH.
Example
Create a file with name – createECDH.js and copy the below code snippet. After creating file, use the following command to run this code as shown in the example below −
node createECDH.js
createECDH.js
// A node demo program for creating the ECDH
// Importing the crypto module
const crypto = require('crypto');
// Calling the getCiphers() method
const curve = crypto.createECDH('secp521r1');
// Printing the curve keys...
console.log(curve.generateKeys());Output

Example
Let's take a look at one more example.
// A node demo program for creating the ECDH
// Importing the crypto module
const crypto = require('crypto');
// Calling the getCiphers() method
const curve = crypto.createECDH('secp521r1');
curve.generateKeys();
// Printing public & private curve keys...
console.log("Public Key: ", curve.getPublicKey());
console.log("Private Kye: ", curve.getPrivateKey());Output
