PFS, PFX, ECB
PFS stands for Perfect Forward Secrecy. It's a cybersecurity feature that ensures that session keys used in secure connections are unique and not derived from long-term keys. This prevents compromising large amounts of encrypted data if a session key is compromised in the future.
PFX - Personal Information Exchange. It's a file format used to store cryptographic certificates and private keys.
ECB - Electronic Codebook. It's a mode of operation for a block cipher, where each block of plaintext is encrypted with the same key independently.
