Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There are two lists of MODP groups, one of which is redundant and does
not mark weak groups as deprecated. Remove said list and refer readers
to the first list instead.

* Returns: {DiffieHellmanGroup}

Creates a predefined `DiffieHellmanGroup` key exchange object. The
supported groups are: `'modp1'`, `'modp2'`, `'modp5'` (defined in
[RFC 2412][], but see [Caveats][]) and `'modp14'`, `'modp15'`,
`'modp16'`, `'modp17'`, `'modp18'` (defined in [RFC 3526][]). The
returned object mimics the interface of objects created by
supported groups are listed in the documentation for [`DiffieHellmanGroup`][].

The returned object mimics the interface of objects created by
[`crypto.createDiffieHellman()`][], but will not allow changing
the keys (with [`diffieHellman.setPublicKey()`][], for example). The
advantage of using this method is that the parties do not have to
