Defining an automatic key
Automatic key mode requires use of the IKE protocol to
generate new keys as necessary. Keys, encryption, and
authentication algorithms are negotiated, and then chosen
and used by the two participating security appliances.
To define an automatic key:
1
From the
Key Management
drop-down list, select
Automatic (IKE)
.
2
Select the
Perfect Forward Secrecy
checkbox, if you
want to use this option.
If you select this checkbox, this policy uses new key material
every time it generates a replacement key. If you do not select
this checkbox, key replacement uses the source key material that
generated previous keys.
3
If you selected Perfect Forward Secrecy, select a
DH
Group
from the drop-down list.
DH (Diffie-Helman) groups enable two peer systems to publicly
exchange and agree on a shared secret key. The numbers
available on the drop-down list (768 and 1024) are the number
of bits used for exponentiation to generate private and public
keys. The larger the number, the greater the protection.
