Seems to me that the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol results in a symmetric shared private key. However, the books I've used for Security+ prep put it with RSA as a public-key algorithm.

In the realm of secure communications, data exchange and secret key agreement algorithms are pivotal for establishing confidentiality and ensuring the integrity of information transmitted over ...

In the last section we discussed the potential for optimizing algorithms, which can be done, but sometimes may not result in the type of performance required. As was mentioned, you can always move the ...
