Authorisation method:

This field provides different type of trunk encryption. The following options are available:

Plaintext* (The weakest and most vulnerable authorization type due to passwords not being

encrypted)

MD5* (128 Bit Hashing Encryption and widely used.)

RC4 (A stream cipher which is easily broken if the same key is used twice)

RSA** (An asymmetric algorithm which relies on the difficulty of factoring very large numbers. RSA

is the most secure Authorization Type and as of 2004, there are no known

methods of feasible attacks.)

* If MD5 or Plaintext authentication is selected, a secret must be provided in the "Secret" Field.

** If RSA authentication is specified, then one or more key names must be specified with "inkeys"

RSA key:

This field is active only if Authorization field above is set to "RSA". Please provide a valid RSA key here.

Secret:
