Sure! Here is a step-by-step guide to the Diffie–Hellman Key Exchange:
1. Start by defining two large prime numbers, p and q, which will be used to generate the two keys.
2. Generate a random number, a, between 1 and q-1.
3. Calculate A = a^p mod q. This is the public key, NPUB1.
4. Calculate B = b^p mod q. This is the private key, NSEC1.
5. The two parties can then use the public and private keys to securely communicate with each other by encrypting and decrypting messages with the two keys.
