* RFC-2631 describes an Ephemeral-Static Mode of operations with * Diffie-Hellman keypairs as follows: *
* "In Ephemeral-Static mode, the recipient has a static (and certified) * key pair, but the sender generates a new key pair for each message * and sends it using the originatorKey production. If the sender's key * is freshly generated for each message, the shared secret ZZ will be * similarly different for each message and partyAInfo MAY be omitted, * since it serves merely to decouple multiple KEKs generated by the * same set of pairwise keys. If, however, the same ephemeral sender key * is used for multiple messages (e.g. it is cached as a performance * optimization) then a separate partyAInfo MUST be used for each * message. All implementations of this standard MUST implement * Ephemeral-Static mode." **
