`New Functionality <#new_functionality>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. container::
- 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**
