Generates the shared secret for elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key agreement using
a given public key (from another party) and a private key.
Parameters:
cryptoSystemData - The data associated with the crypto token.
localPrivateKeyData - The local private key data to use.
remotePublicKeyData - The public key data to use which is encoded as an ANSI X9.62 ECPoint object.
useCofactor - Determines if the cofactor will be used or not in the calculations. True
if the cofactor is used, false otherwise.
Returns:
A byte array containing the shared secret. This is the raw shared secret which the user
can then put into any suitable PseudoRandomSource to generate a symmetric key, etc. Note that the
raw shared secret is a field element of the finite field the elliptic curve is defined over.

Generates the shared secret using the elliptic curve
key agreement developed by Menezes, Qu, and Vanstone.
Parameters:
cryptoTokenCryptoSystemData - The crypto system data associated with
the crypto token.
cryptoTokenLocalStaticPrivateKeyData - The local private key data.
cryptoTokenLocalEphemeralPrivateKeyData - The local ephemeral
private key data.
cryptoTokenLocalEphemeralPublicKeyData - The local ephemeral public
key data.
remoteStaticPublicKeyData - The remote public key data which is encoded as an
ANSI X9.62 ECPoint object.
remoteEphemeralPublicKeyData - The remote ephemeral public key data which is encoded as an
ANSI X9.62 ECPoint object.
useCofactor - The boolean that determines if the cofactor will be
used in the calculations
Returns:
A byte array containing the shared secret. Note that this is the raw shared secret.
The user can then pass this byte array into any PseudoRandomSource that they desire. Note also that
the raw shared secret is an element of the finite field that the elliptic curve is defined over.
