Once the OpenVPN peers are sure about each other's identity, DH can be used to create a shared secret key for the hash function and the cipher algorithm. By combining a DH private key with the other OpenVPN box DH public key, it is possible to calculate a shared secret that only the two OpenVPN peers know.
