ECDH

Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman

cryptomedium

ECDH is a key agreement protocol that lets two parties derive a shared secret over an insecure channel using elliptic curve math. Its ephemeral form (ECDHE) is the standard key exchange in modern TLS because it provides forward secrecy. The shared secret is then fed into a KDF to produce session keys.
