Best Answer

Diffie-Hellman is not as much a cipher as a means of securing exchanging keys. You would use it to securely notify someone else of a symmetric shared key that you both would use for encrypting data.

Think of it as more a key exchange method utilizing public and private keys than an actual cipher methodology.
