openssl_pkey_derive — Computes shared secret for public value of remote and local DH or ECDH key
$public_key, #[\SensitiveParameter] OpenSSLAsymmetricKey|OpenSSLCertificate|array|string $private_key, int $key_length = 0): string|false
openssl_pkey_derive() takes a set of a public_key
and private_key and derives a shared secret, for either DH or EC keys.
public_key
public_key is the public key for the derivation.
See Public/Private Key parameters for a list of valid values.
private_key
private_key is the private key for the derivation.
See Public/Private Key parameters for a list of valid values.
key_lengthIf not zero, will attempt to set the desired length of the derived secret.
This parameter should not be used, as it does not work as expected. It never returns a secret longer than the size of the prime. If the desired length is smaller than the size of the prime, it truncates the length only for ECDH keys but fails for DH keys.
The derived secret on success or false on failure.
