It should be. Well let's introduce Charlie to the example in the docs: charlie.generateKeys(); var alice_secret = alice.computeSecret(bob.getPublicKey(), 'binary', 'hex');
Now how to incorporate Charlie's public key in Alice's secret? This is not allowed: alice_secret = alice_secret.computeSecret(charlie.getPublicKey(), 'binary', 'hex'); Nor does this work since it discards the previous result: var alice_secret = alice.computeSecret(charlie.getPublicKey(), 'binary', 'hex'); Am I missing something obvious or should the API be extended?
