Generation

# Forward Secrecy **Definition:** Forward secrecy (or perfect forward secrecy) is a property of cryptographic protocols where compromise of long-term secret keys does not compromise past session keys, ensuring that previously encrypted communications cannot be retroactively decrypted. **Why it matters:** Forward secrecy protects historical communications from future key compromises—if an attacker records encrypted traffic today and later steals a server's private key, they still cannot decrypt those past sessions. This is critical because adversaries can store encrypted data indefinitely and decrypt it later if keys are compromised, making forward secrecy essential for long-term confidentiality.
