Intellisense autocompleted something (quite accidentally, I fat-fingered what I was typing):
I present you:
ECDiffieHellmanKeyDerivationFunction[^]
The description is equally esoteric:
Specifies the key derivation function that the ECDiffieHellmanCng class will use to convert secret agreements into key material.
So tell me, have you ever use a Diffie?

Yes, we use this as part of our security infrastructure.

I'm impressed.  I think the only reason I found this was I had a "using" statement for the cryptography namespace.

Don't be - I think it's a pretty standard key-exchange process for encrypting communication.

PS: I wasn't the dev who worked on it. I just use it.

Sure, but not in .NET. Years ago, I added a Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange mechanism in order to encrypt the communication on the TCP connections between our servers and clients. I used the code from this article for some of that: Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Example[^].

Are you implying that you have never heard of Diffie-Hellman? How is it even possible to work in the field of computer science and not know about Diffie-Hellman?

I've heard of Diffie Hellman, haven't had the opportunity to use the algorithms...
I do like his Mayonnaise though

And here I thought a Diffie was a small diff file!

even 'down-under' I've used it (ok, that was a slight 'dig') .. I guess if you've never had to work in Encrypting data etc, you don't come across it - whereas its been my bread and butter to know this stuff
