LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Encryption
Algorithm
Select
DES
,
3DES
or
AES
from the drop-down list box.
When you use one of these encryption algorithms for data communications, both the
sending device and the receiving device must use the same secret key, which can be
used to encrypt and decrypt the message or to generate and verify a message
authentication code. The DES encryption algorithm uses a 56-bit key. Triple DES
(
3DES
) is a variation on
DES
that uses a 168-bit key. As a result,
3DES
is more
secure than
DES
. It also requires more processing power, resulting in increased
latency and decreased throughput. This implementation of AES uses a 128-bit key.
AES
is faster than
3DES
.
Authentication
Algorithm
Select
SHA1
or
MD5
from the drop-down list box.
MD5
(Message Digest 5) and
SHA1
(Secure Hash Algorithm) are hash algorithms used to authenticate packet
data. The
SHA1
algorithm is generally considered stronger than
MD5
, but is slower.
Select
MD5
for minimal security and
SHA-1
for maximum security.
SA Life Time
(Seconds)
Define the length of time before an IKE SA automatically renegotiates in this field. It
may range from 60 to 3,000,000 seconds (almost 35 days).
A short SA Life Time increases security by forcing the two VPN gateways to update
the encryption and authentication keys. However, every time the VPN tunnel
renegotiates, all users accessing remote resources are temporarily disconnected.
Key Group You must choose a key group for phase 1 IKE setup.
DH1
(default) refers to Diffie-
Hellman Group 1 a 768 bit random number.
DH2
refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 2 a
1024 bit (1Kb) random number.
Phase 2
Active Protocol Use the drop-down list box to choose from
ESP
or
AH
.
Encryption
Algorithm
This field is available when you select
ESP
in the
Active Protocol
field.
Select
DES
,
3DES
,
AES
or
NULL
from the drop-down list box.

Select
NULL
to set up a tunnel without encryption. When you select
NULL
, you do
not enter an encryption key.
