Anthony, padding in this context means adding null or random bytes to the end of encrypted TCP streams in order to obscure their true length. The process of adding padding is entirely independent of the choice of underlying cipher.
In this case, however, we have been discussing perfect forward secrecy, which is dependent on the particular cypher. ECDHE-RSA-RC4-SHA is an example of a PFS cipher and TLS key exchange protocol choice widely supported by Apache supporting PFS. The English Wikipedia articles on these subjects are all mostly start-class, so please try Google, Google Scholar, and WP:RX for more information. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
