PFS has only really been in the news since a few months. If you weren't a real security expert, you may not have known about it, even if you did care.

- Sami_Lehtinen 13y agoPFS is nothing new, IPsec introduced it in RFC 2412 (November 1998). Benefits of using PFS have been clear since that. Also SSLv3 supports PFS cipher suites. But just as usual, even if something is available, it doesn't mean it's generally adpoted for extended use.
