Subject: Wireguard Identity Rotation
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2020 02:00:50 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAPV7Z3z48_g-eRW6DVwiPQbyf8xu0C5bLRruzovdQXMDsq=S8Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm looking for a nice way to rotate keypairs with Wireguard. How much time
do you have to update the initiator and responder with new keypairs before
handshakes fail?

If I understood the whitepaper correctly, sessions aren't immediately invalid
when you change a peers identity. Instead, you have up to 5 minutes to update
both sides, or else the session keys are exhausted. Is this correct?

Thanks,
John
