Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement

Does anyone know of any way to re-enable the Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement
portion of Cryptlib in the latest version?

I am doing a project for a PhD and need to be able to get two hosts (with no
prior knowledge of each other) to generate some key material which will then
be used for subsequent operations such as generating SNMP keys.

Thanks in advance,

Bob

It's never been disabled, it's present in the SSH and SSL/TLS protocols.  It's
not accessible externally because it only makes sense within the context of
the SSH/TLS handshake.
