(but not perfect) to prove authenticity ➡ A way to bootstrap encrypted communication ➡ Misleading ➡ (Too) Expensive

➡ TLS has overhead in computation and transfers. But definitely
worth it. ➡ Google likes it. ➡ Some ciphersuites are better, but slower. ➡ Speed / Security compromise ➡ (try: “openssl speed”) 43
Are we safe yet? 44
euh,.. no :/ 45

(PERFECT) FORWARDING SECRECY 52
Compromising the pre-master secret does not compromise our communication. 53
PFS: Can’t compromise other keys with a compromised key. 54
Unfortunately.. 55
56 PFS needs server AND browser support

58 http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2013/06/25/ssl-intercepted-today-decrypted-tomorrow.html
Update your cipher suite list and place PFS ciphers at
the top 59
But beware: heavy computations 60
