Hello,

I'm trying to make sense out of the various abbrevations used for the
SSL cipher suites listed by openssl ciphers.

I've googled, but found no explanation of what ECDHE is and how it
compares to ECDH.

I'm aware that ECDH stands for "elliptic curve diffie hellman key
exchange" (and I'm also - cryptographically - aware what that means -
perfect forward secrecy and such).

What is ECDHE, is it "better" than just ECDH and what's the difference?

Yours,
--
