Practically, this means that even if the\nserver's private key is compromised, communication can only be decrypted by\neavesdroppers if the attacker manages to obtain the key-pair specifically\ngenerated for the session.</p>\n<p>Perfect Forward Secrecy is achieved by randomly generating a key pair for\nkey-agreement on every TLS/SSL handshake (in contrast to using the same key for\nall sessions).

The process can be sped\nup by saving and later reusing the session state. There are several mechanisms\nto do so, discussed here from oldest to newest (and preferred).</p>\n<p><strong><em>Session Identifiers</em></strong> Servers generate a unique ID for new connections and\nsend it to the client. Clients and servers save the session state. When\nreconnecting, clients send the ID of their saved session state and if the server\nalso has the state for that ID, it can agree to use it. Otherwise, the server\nwill create a new session. See <a href=\"https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2246.txt\">RFC 2246</a> for more information, page 23 and\n30.</p>\n<p>Resumption using session identifiers is supported by most web browsers when\nmaking HTTPS requests.</p>\n<p>For Node.js, clients must call <a href=\"#tls_tlssocket_getsession\"><code>tls.TLSSocket.getSession()</code></a> after the\n<a href=\"#tls_event_secureconnect\"><code>'secureConnect'</code></a> event to get the session data, and provide the data to the\n<code>session</code> option of <a href=\"#tls_tls_connect_options_callback\"><code>tls.connect()</code></a> to reuse the session. Servers must\nimplement handlers for the <a href=\"#tls_event_newsession\"><code>'newSession'</code></a> and <a href=\"#tls_event_resumesession\"><code>'resumeSession'</code></a> events\nto save and restore the session data using the session ID as the lookup key to\nreuse sessions. To reuse sessions across load balancers or cluster workers,\nservers must use a shared session cache (such as Redis) in their session\nhandlers.</p>\n<p><strong><em>Session Tickets</em></strong> The servers encrypt the entire session state and send it\nto the client as a \"ticket\". When reconnecting, the state is sent to the server\nin the initial connection. This mechanism avoids the need for server-side\nsession cache. If the server doesn't use the ticket, for any reason (failure\nto decrypt it, it's too old, etc.), it will create a new session and send a new\nticket. See <a href=\"https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5077\">RFC 5077</a> for more information.</p>\n<p>Resumption using session tickets is becoming commonly supported by many web\nbrowsers when making HTTPS requests.</p>\n<p>For Node.js, clients use the same APIs for resumption with session identifiers\nas for resumption with session tickets. For debugging, if\n<a href=\"#tls_tlssocket_gettlsticket\"><code>tls.TLSSocket.getTLSTicket()</code></a> returns a value, the session data contains a\nticket, otherwise it contains client-side session state.</p>\n<p>Single process servers need no specific implementation to use session tickets.\nTo use session tickets across server restarts or load balancers, servers must\nall have the same ticket keys. There are three 16-byte keys internally, but the\ntls API exposes them as a single 48-byte buffer for convenience.</p>\n<p>Its possible to get the ticket keys by calling <a href=\"#tls_server_getticketkeys\"><code>server.getTicketKeys()</code></a> on\none server instance and then distribute them, but it is more reasonable to\nsecurely generate 48 bytes of secure random data and set them with the\n<code>ticketKeys</code> option of <a href=\"#tls_tls_createserver_options_secureconnectionlistener\"><code>tls.createServer()</code></a>. The keys should be regularly\nregenerated and server's keys can be reset with\n<a href=\"#tls_server_setticketkeys_keys\"><code>server.setTicketKeys()</code></a>.</p>\n<p>Session ticket keys are cryptographic keys, and they <strong><em>must be stored\nsecurely</em></strong>. With TLS 1.2 and below, if they are compromised all sessions that\nused tickets encrypted with them can be decrypted. They should not be stored\non disk, and they should be regenerated regularly.</p>\n<p>If clients advertise support for tickets, the server will send them. The\nserver can disable tickets by supplying\n<code>require('constants').SSL_OP_NO_TICKET</code> in <code>secureOptions</code>.</p>\n<p>Both session identifiers and session tickets timeout, causing the server to\ncreate new sessions. The timeout can be configured with the <code>sessionTimeout</code>\noption of <a href=\"#tls_tls_createserver_options_secureconnectionlistener\"><code>tls.createServer()</code></a>.</p>\n<p>For all the mechanisms, when resumption fails, servers will create new sessions.\nSince failing to resume the session does not cause TLS/HTTPS connection\nfailures, it is easy to not notice unnecessarily poor TLS performance. The\nOpenSSL CLI can be used to verify that servers are resuming sessions.
