Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange is a cryptographic protocol that allows two parties to securely establish a shared secret over an insecure communication channel. The key exchange process involves both parties agreeing on a set of parameters, known as Diffie-Hellman parameters, which include a large prime number `p` and a generator `g`. Since generating these parameters is a computationally expensive task, a user might prefer to provide a precomputed value at startup.
