There are three modes available to choose from:

its own key-pairs and asks the other party to accept it. The key
is regenerated when the connection is established every time.
•
Shared Authentication
– the sender and receiver shares the
common key for data communication, and the key is used for
extended length of time.
•
Auto
– requires communication to be established, and
automatically use the proper authentication mode.
The following will only be activated to allow for configuration
when Encryption is enabled.
