The Value of Perfect Forward Secrecy
When it comes to security, IT professionals need to think ahead: An eavesdropper who records traffic today may successfully decrypt it in the future.
A solution is to employ Perfect Forward Secrecy, in which unrecoverable temporary session keys are generated, used and discarded. When implemented correctly with Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), Perfect Forward Secrecy is more secure than RSA algorithms and performs better.
