Implement ECDiffieHellmanCng in Xamarin

I am trying to use the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman algorithm for key exchange in a xamarin application. However, I am getting a reference/compilation errors for the class. My assumption is that the class is not part of Mono. Do you know of a workaround for using that algorithm in Xamarin Apps? Please share your thoughts.

Thank you!

ECDiffieHellmanCng

var sessionClient = new ECDiffieHellmanCng {
                KeySize = 521,
                KeyDerivationFunction = ECDiffieHellmanKeyDerivationFunction.Hash,
                HashAlgorithm = CngAlgorithm.Sha256
            };
