Talk:Perfect forward secrecy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

User:Bassistphysicist added the claim "The current hope for perfect forward secrecy is hyper-encryption." I'm not an expert on this issue, but it seems to me that re-negotiating the session keys every once in a while (as in Off-the-record messaging) does already satisfy properties of 'perfect forward secrecy', so we don't need "hope" - it's already here. Thus, I decided to revert the edit for now. -- intgr 22:08, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

How does this definition match towards A. Perrigs definitions given e.g. here: http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~adrian/projects/sec/node6.html Is the forwards secrecy here the same as backward secrecy there and ist PFS here the same as forward secrecy there? His naming is more intuitive...84.75.118.97 08:32, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
