+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+These functions implement the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol.
+The generation of shared DH parameters is described in
+L<DH_generate_parameters(3)|DH_generate_parameters(3)>; L<DH_generate_key(3)|DH_generate_key(3)> describes how
+to perform a key agreement.
+
+The B<DH> structure consists of several BIGNUM components.
+
+ struct
+        {
+        BIGNUM *p;		// prime number (shared)
+        BIGNUM *g;		// generator of Z_p (shared)
+        BIGNUM *priv_key;	// private DH value x
+        BIGNUM *pub_key;	// public DH value g^x
+        // ...
+        };
+ DH
+
+Note that DH keys may use non-standard B<DH_METHOD> implementations,
+either directly or by the use of B<ENGINE> modules. In some cases (eg. an
+ENGINE providing support for hardware-embedded keys), these BIGNUM values
+will not be used by the implementation or may be used for alternative data
+storage. For this reason, applications should generally avoid using DH
+structure elements directly and instead use API functions to query or
+modify keys.
