In this case the session data are negotiated using the +ephemeral/temporary \s-1RSA\s0 key and the \s-1RSA\s0 key supplied and certified +by the certificate chain is only used for signing. +.PP +Under previous export restrictions, ciphers with \s-1RSA\s0 keys shorter (512 bits) +than the usual key length of 1024 bits were created. To use these ciphers +with \s-1RSA\s0 keys of usual length, an ephemeral key exchange must be performed, +as the normal (certified) key cannot be directly used. +.PP +Using ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange yields forward secrecy, as the connection +can only be decrypted, when the \s-1RSA\s0 key is known. By generating a temporary +\&\s-1RSA\s0 key inside the server application that is lost when the application +is left, it becomes impossible for an attacker to decrypt past sessions, +even if he gets hold of the normal (certified) \s-1RSA\s0 key, as this key was +used for signing only. The downside is that creating a \s-1RSA\s0 key is +computationally expensive. +.PP +Additionally, the use of ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange is only allowed in +the \s-1TLS\s0 standard, when the \s-1RSA\s0 key can be used for signing only, that is +for export ciphers. Using ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange for other purposes +violates the standard and can break interoperability with clients. +It is therefore strongly recommended to not use ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key +exchange and use \s-1EDH\s0 (Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman) key exchange instead +in order to achieve forward secrecy (see +SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback(3)). +.PP +On OpenSSL servers ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange is therefore disabled by default +and must be explicitly enabled using the \s-1SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA\s0 option of +SSL_CTX_set_options(3), violating the \s-1TLS/SSL\s0 +standard. When ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange is required for export ciphers, +it will automatically be used without this option! +.PP +An application may either directly specify the key or can supply the key via +a callback function. The callback approach has the advantage, that the +callback may generate the key only in case it is actually needed. As the +generation of a \s-1RSA\s0 key is however costly, it will lead to a significant +delay in the handshake procedure. Another advantage of the callback function +is that it can supply keys of different size (e.g. for \s-1SSL_OP_EPHEMERAL_RSA\s0 +usage) while the explicit setting of the key is only useful for key size of +512 bits to satisfy the export restricted ciphers and does give away key length +if a longer key would be allowed. +.PP +The \fBtmp_rsa_callback\fR is called with the \fBkeylength\fR needed and +the \fBis_export\fR information. The \fBis_export\fR flag is set, when the +ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange is performed with an export cipher. +.SH "EXAMPLES" +.IX Header "EXAMPLES" +Generate temporary \s-1RSA\s0 keys to prepare ephemeral \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange.
