Re: Definition of PFS...



Why would you do MODP if you've got EC?   Are you equating "slow" with
"secure"?

Would it make any sense to do a low-security DH in phase I, followed
by a higher-security DH in phase II, after the peer has been authenticated,
to provide protection against some DoS attacks while also giving good
long-term traffic protection?

Similarly, would it make sense to use elliptic curves in phase I,
followed by MODP in phase II?
