Greetings , This is my first time I am hitting this mailing list. When a client and server establishes a connection between them , they agree upon one symmetric key which they will use for transmitting the messages securely . But if that session stays for a very long time then that symmetric key they use can be broken and hacked. Is there any mechanism by which we can set the lifetime of that symmetric key? Thanks in advance. thanks and regards, bandi ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
