proper setup for forward secrecy

August 09, 2012 02:37PM
Hello,

I was reading an article written by Adam Langley and he says:

"You also need to be aware of Session Tickets in order to implement forward secrecy correctly. There are two ways to resume a TLS connection: either the server chooses a random number and both sides store the session information, of the server can encrypt the session information with a secret, local key and send that to the client. The former is called Session IDs and the latter is called Session Tickets.

But Session Tickets are transmitted over the wire and so the server's Session Ticket encryption key is capable of decrypting past connections. Most servers will generate a random Session Ticket key at startup unless otherwise configured, but you should check."

So my question is, how does nginx handle this?

Thanks
