Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) : Enhanced SSL Security
Emma ThompsonShare
Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) is an essential security feature available with Trustico® SSL Certificates that provides enhanced protection for encrypted communications.
As a leading provider of SSL Certificate solutions, Trustico® helps organizations implement robust security measures through our comprehensive range of SSL Certificate products.
What is Perfect Forward Secrecy?
Perfect Forward Secrecy is an advanced encryption capability that generates unique session keys for each connection secured by a Trustico® SSL Certificate.
This ensures that even if a private key is compromised in the future, previously recorded traffic cannot be decrypted.
When you deploy a Trustico® SSL Certificate with PFS support, your web servers create temporary session keys that are discarded after each session, providing an additional layer of security beyond standard SSL Certificate encryption.
How Perfect Forward Secrecy Works with SSL Certificates
Trustico® SSL Certificates enable Perfect Forward Secrecy through modern encryption protocols that work alongside your SSL Certificate to establish secure connections while maintaining forward secrecy protection.
Both our Trustico® branded and Sectigo® branded SSL Certificates support the modern security standards required for Perfect Forward Secrecy, giving our customers flexibility in choosing the right SSL Certificate solution while ensuring maximum security.
