X448 key exchange
===================

.. currentmodule:: cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.x448

X448 is an elliptic curve `Diffie-Hellman key exchange`_ using `Curve448`_.
It allows two parties to jointly agree on a shared secret using an insecure
channel.

Exchange Algorithm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For most applications the ``shared_key`` should be passed to a key
derivation function. This allows mixing of additional information into the
key, derivation of multiple keys, and destroys any structure that may be
present.

.. doctest::

>>> from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import hashes
    >>> from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.x448 import X448PrivateKey
    >>> from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.hkdf import HKDF
    >>> # Generate a private key for use in the exchange.
    >>> private_key = X448PrivateKey.generate()
    >>> # In a real handshake the peer_public_key will be received from the
    >>> # other party. For this example we'll generate another private key and
    >>> # get a public key from that. Note that in a DH handshake both peers
    >>> # must agree on a common set of parameters.
    >>> peer_public_key = X448PrivateKey.generate().public_key()
    >>> shared_key = private_key.exchange(peer_public_key)
    >>> # Perform key derivation.
    >>> derived_key = HKDF(
    ...     algorithm=hashes.SHA256(),
    ...     length=32,
    ...     salt=None,
    ...     info=b'handshake data',
    ... ).derive(shared_key)
    >>> # For the next handshake we MUST generate another private key.
    >>> private_key_2 = X448PrivateKey.generate()
    >>> peer_public_key_2 = X448PrivateKey.generate().public_key()
    >>> shared_key_2 = private_key_2.exchange(peer_public_key_2)

:param X448PublicKey peer_public_key: The public key for the
            peer.

:returns bytes: A shared key.

.. method:: private_bytes(encoding, format, encryption_algorithm)

Allows serialization of the key to bytes. Encoding (

        :attr:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.Encoding.DER`, or

        or
        :attr:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.PrivateFormat.Raw`
        ) are chosen to define the exact serialization.

:param encoding: A value from the
            :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.Encoding` enum.

:param format: A value from the
            :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.PrivateFormat`
            enum. If the ``encoding`` is
            :attr:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization.Encoding.Raw`

            interface.
