And if we start to use one key by many threads, we will need to carefully sync it, but if we just add synchronization per ssl contex we will make encode/decode methods single threaded per ssl context, which is unfortunate.

Not sure what you mean? Do you refer to the `SessionTicketSpec`s `encrypt()`/`decrypt()` methods?What do you mean by "*we make them single threaded per ssl context*"?

`encrypt()` will call `getCurrentKey()` which isn't synchronized. Only once an hour or so, when the current key has expired, `getCurrentKey()` will call `getNextKey()` which is synchronized on the ssl context. `decrypt()` only calls `getKey()` which is never synchronized. I can't see a problem here.
