<p>In <a href="page.php?w=cryptography">cryptography</a>, <b>forward secrecy</b> (<b>FS</b>), also known as <b>perfect forward secrecy</b> (<b>PFS</b>), is a feature of specific <a href="page.php?w=key-agreement_protocol">key-agreement protocol</a>s that gives assurances that <a href="page.php?w=session_key">session key</a>s will not be compromised even if long-term secrets used in the session key exchange are compromised, limiting damage. For <a href="page.php?w=Transport_Layer_Security">TLS</a>, the long-term secret is typically the <a href="page.php?w=Public-key_cryptography">private key</a></p><p>
