!!! Overview [1] [2] [3] [{$pagename}] (same as [Forward Secrecy]) is a property of [Secure connection] [communication] [protocols] ([Key agreements]) that gives [assurances] the, typically short lived, [Session Keys] __will not__ be compromised even if the long term [Private Key] are compromised. In modern [cryptographic] communication typically the problem to solve is that the [Private Key] is used for two purposes:[1] * [authentication] of the server * [encryption] of a shared secret. [Authentication] only matters while the communication is established, but the [encryption] is expected to last for years. The [Session Key] is typically a [Shared Secret] that is shared using a [Key agreement] within an [Key-Exchange]. !!
