Example (uncompressing a key):

```js
const { ECDH } = require('crypto');
const crypto = require('crypto');

const ecdh = ECDH('secp256k1');
const ecdh = crypto.createECDH('secp256k1');
ecdh.generateKeys();

const compressedKey = ecdh.getPublicKey('hex', 'compressed');

const uncompressedKey = ECDH.convertKey(compressedKey,
'secp256k1',
'hex',
'hex',
'uncompressed');
const uncompressedKey = crypto.ECDH.convertKey(compressedKey,
'secp256k1',
'hex',
'hex',
'uncompressed');

// the converted key and the uncompressed public key should be the same
console.log(uncompressedKey === ecdh.getPublicKey('hex'));
