48 bytes get expanded to 751. Whether you count this as 751 or 48 depends on what you want to compare.
Also, your description implies DH exchanges are zero knowledge exchanges - that there is no way to infer the private key from the public exchange - but that's not true. It is perfectly possible - in fact, in most DH variants a 1-1 transformation - except it is entirely infeasible.
- s_tec 11y agoThose 48 bytes are the two random numbers used as the private key, correct? The actual public key that gets sent over the wire is the 751 byte thing, if I read the paper correctly.
