Binance Smart Chain has also become a success story of its own and is now being pitted against the Ethereum network as well for its smart contract and Defi support for a cheaper transaction exchange method. As the Ethereum network has become costlier to use, the bull seasons native chain gained a lot of traction for the same functionalities. At one point it was processing 4 times the transaction of the Ethereum network.

The returned object mimics the interface of objects created by crypto.createDiffieHellman(), but will not allow changing the keys (with diffieHellman.setPublicKey(), for example). The advantage of using this method is that the parties do not have to generate nor exchange a group modulus beforehand, saving both processor and communication time. Returns:
