# P384

An elliptic curve that enables NIST P-384 signatures and key agreement.

```
enum P384
```

## Topics

### Performing operations

[`KeyAgreement`](/documentation/CryptoKit/P384/KeyAgreement)

A mechanism used to create a shared secret between two users by
performing NIST P-384 elliptic curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) key
exchange.

[`Signing`](/documentation/CryptoKit/P384/Signing)

A mechanism used to create or verify a cryptographic signature using
the NIST P-384 elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA).
