+### crypto.createDiffieHellman(prime_length)
+
+Creates a Diffie-Hellman key exchange object and generates a prime of the
+given bit length. The generator used is `2`.
+
+### crypto.createDiffieHellman(prime, encoding='binary')
+
+Creates a Diffie-Hellman key exchange object using the supplied prime. The
+generator used is `2`. Encoding can be `'binary'`, `'hex'`, or `'base64'`.
+
+### diffieHellman.generateKeys(encoding='binary')
+
+Generates private and public Diffie-Hellman key values, and returns the
+public key in the specified encoding. This key should be transferred to the
+other party. Encoding can be `'binary'`, `'hex'`, or `'base64'`.
+
+### diffieHellman.computeSecret(other_public_key, input_encoding='binary', output_encoding=input_encoding)
+
+Computes the shared secret using `other_public_key` as the other party's
+public key and returns the computed shared secret. Supplied key is
+interpreted using specified `input_encoding`, and secret is encoded using
+specified `output_encoding`. Encodings can be `'binary'`, `'hex'`, or
+`'base64'`. If no output encoding is given, the input encoding is used as
+output encoding.
+
+### diffieHellman.getPrime(encoding='binary')
+
+Returns the Diffie-Hellman prime in the specified encoding, which can be
+`'binary'`, `'hex'`, or `'base64'`.
+
+### diffieHellman.getGenerator(encoding='binary')
+
+Returns the Diffie-Hellman prime in the specified encoding, which can be
+`'binary'`, `'hex'`, or `'base64'`.
+
+### diffieHellman.getPublicKey(encoding='binary')
+
+Returns the Diffie-Hellman public key in the specified encoding, which can
+be `'binary'`, `'hex'`, or `'base64'`.
+
+### diffieHellman.getPrivateKey(encoding='binary')
+
+Returns the Diffie-Hellman private key in the specified encoding, which can
+be `'binary'`, `'hex'`, or `'base64'`.
+
+### diffieHellman.setPublicKey(public_key, encoding='binary')
+
+Sets the Diffie-Hellman public key. Key encoding can be `'binary'`, `'hex'`,
+or `'base64'`.
+
+### diffieHellman.setPrivateKey(public_key, encoding='binary')
+
+Sets the Diffie-Hellman private key. Key encoding can be `'binary'`, `'hex'`, or `'base64'`.
