New in NSS 3.17
New Functionality
- When using ECDHE, the TLS server code may be configured to generate a fresh ephemeral ECDH key for each handshake, by setting the SSL_REUSE_SERVER_ECDHE_KEY socket option to PR_FALSE. The SSL_REUSE_SERVER_ECDHE_KEY option defaults to PR_TRUE, which means the server's ephemeral ECDH key is reused for multiple handshakes. This option does not affect the TLS client code, which always generates a fresh ephemeral ECDH key for each handshake.
New Macros
- in ssl.h
- SSL_REUSE_SERVER_ECDHE_KEY
Notable Changes in NSS 3.17
- The manual pages for the certutil and pp tools have been updated to document the new parameters that had been added in NSS 3.16.2.
- On Windows, the new build variable USE_STATIC_RTL can be used to specify the static C runtime library should be used. By default the dynamic C runtime library is used.
