`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**
