Forward Secrecy
This is a key protocol based on asymmetric cryptography that ensures a session key originated from a set of public and private keys that are not compromised if one of the private keys is jepordized in the future. Perfect forward secrecy and "public-key forward secrecy". Backward security is a weak private key when the session key is compromised. Symmetric systems do not have this property, since they compromise the entire system.
Front-End Security Filter
A security filter can be used in hardware or software to separate it from the rest of the system to protect the system's integrity.
