+## Class: DiffieHellmanGroup
+<!-- YAML
+added: v0.7.5
+-->
+
+The `DiffieHellmanGroup` class takes a well-known modp group as its argument but
+otherwise works the same as `DiffieHellman`.
+
+```js
+const name = 'modp1';
+const dh = crypto.createDiffieHellmanGroup(name);
+```
+
+`name` is taken from [RFC 2412][] (modp1 and 2) and [RFC 3526][]:
+```console
+$ perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if /"(modp\d+)"/' src/node_crypto_groups.h
+modp1  #  768 bits
+modp2  # 1024 bits
+modp5  # 1536 bits
+modp14 # 2048 bits
+modp15 # etc.
