- - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `java.math.BigInteger` | `calculateAgreement(CipherParameters pubKey)` given a public key from a given party calculate the next message in the agreement sequence.
    `int` | `getFieldSize()` return the field size for the agreement algorithm in bytes.
    `void` | `init(CipherParameters param)` initialise the agreement engine.

      return the field size for the agreement algorithm in bytes.

    - #### calculateAgreement

          java.math.BigInteger calculateAgreement(CipherParameters pubKey)

      given a public key from a given party calculate the next message in the agreement sequence.
