Research direction

Start at the JavaScript DH API entry point and inspect how public and private keys are currently represented. Trace the existing key-generation and exchange flow, then define coverage for using pre-existing keys and the setPublicKey call; the issue provides no file or test name to begin from.

Description

Hi,
I ran to this error:
TypeError: DH.setPublicKey is not a function

I think dh.setPublicKey function is missing. Without it one cannot use pre-existing public/private keys.
