Elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman.

Sequoia implements the Elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol for use in OpenPGP as described by RFC 6637. In short, a shared secret is derived using Elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman, a wrapping key is derived from that shared secret, and the message’s session key is wrapped using that wrapping key.
