Thanks for chiming in mozz!

How can a server rotate a keypair and prove it's still the same server
as before, that there's not an MITM attack going on? This is a genuine question,
I haven't heard much about key rotation for TLS before. Could you explain or
send a link on how this works? I can't find much on it.

Thanks,
