      <title>Diffie-Hellman</title>
      <p>Diffie-Hellman computations are available with OpenSSL versions compatible with Erlang CRYPTO
      if not disabled by configuration.
      To dynamically check availability, check that the atom <c>dh</c> is present in the
      list with the <c>public_keys</c> tag in the return value of
      <seealso marker="crypto#supports-0">crypto:supports()</seealso>.

      <title>Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman</title>
      <p>Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman is available with OpenSSL 0.9.8o or later if not disabled by configuration.
      To dynamically check availability, check that the atom <c>ecdh</c> is present in the
      list with the <c>public_keys</c> tag in the return value of
      <seealso marker="crypto#supports-0">crypto:supports()</seealso>.
      </p>

      <p>The Edward curves <c>x25519</c> and <c>x448</c> are supported with OpenSSL 1.1.1 or later
      if not disabled by configuration.
      </p>

      <p>The actual supported named curves could be checked by examining the list with the
      <c>curves</c> tag in the return value of
      <seealso marker="crypto#supports-0">crypto:supports()</seealso>.
