+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+The examples assume a host and peer both generate keys using the same
+named group (or domain parameters). See L<EVP_PKEY-DH(7)/Examples>.
+Both the host and peer transfer their public key to each other.
+
+To convert the peer's generated key pair to a public key in DER format in order
+to transfer to the host:
+
+    EVP_PKEY *peer_key; /* It is assumed this contains the peers generated key */
+    unsigned char *peer_pub_der = NULL;
+    int peer_pub_der_len;
+
+    peer_pub_der_len = i2d_PUBKEY(peer_key, &peer_pub_der);
+    ...
+    OPENSSL_free(peer_pub_der);
+
+To convert the received peer's public key from DER format on the host:
+
+    const unsigned char *pd = peer_pub_der;
+    EVP_PKEY *peer_pub_key = d2i_PUBKEY(NULL, &pd, peer_pub_der_len);
+    ...
+    EVP_PKEY_free(peer_pub_key);
+
+To derive a shared secret on the host using the host's key and the peer's public
+key:
+    /* It is assumed that the host_key and peer_pub_key are set up */
+    void derive_secret(EVP_KEY *host_key, EVP_PKEY *peer_pub_key)
+    {
+        unsigned int pad = 1;
+        OSSL_PARAM params[2];
+        unsigned char *secret = NULL;
+        size_t secret_len = 0;
+        EVP_PKEY_CTX *dctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(NULL, host_key, NULL);
+
+        EVP_PKEY_derive_init(dctx);
+
+        /* Optionally set the padding */
+        params[0] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint(OSSL_EXCHANGE_PARAM_PAD, &pad);
+        params[1] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
+        EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(dctx, params);
+
+        EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer(dctx, peer_pub_key);
+
+        /* Get the size by passing NULL as the buffer */
+        EVP_PKEY_derive(dctx, NULL, &secret_len);
+        secret = OPENSSL_zalloc(secret_len);
+
+        EVP_PKEY_derive(dctx, secret, &secret_len);
+        ...
+        OPENSSL_clear_free(secret, secret_len);
+        EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(dctx);
+    }
+
+Very similar code can be used by the peer to derive the same shared secret
+using the host's public key and the peer's generated key pair.
