Which two non-secret numbers are initially agreed upon when the Diffie-Hellman algorithm is used? (Choose two.)

• binomial coefficient
• generator
• elliptic curve invariant
• prime modulus
• topological index
• pseudorandom nome

Explanation: DH is a mathematical algorithm that allows two hosts to generate an identical shared secret on both systems without having communicated before. To start a DH exchange, both hosts must agree on two nonsecret numbers. The first number is a base number, also called the generator. The second number is a prime number that is used as the modulus. These numbers are usually public and are chosen from a table of known values.
