Chapter 14 Internet Key Exchange
Internet Key Exchange (IKE)
• AES-192—Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption with a 192-bit
key.
• AES-256—Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption with a 256-bit
key.
Hash
The authentication algorithm to be used for the negotiation. There are two
options:
• Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA)
• Message Digest 5 (MD5)
Authentication
The authentication method to be used.
• Pre-SHARE. Authentication will be performed using pre-shared keys.
• RSA_SIG. Authentication will be performed using digital signatures.
D-H Group
Diffie-Hellman (D-H) Group. Diffie-Hellman is a public-key cryptography
protocol that allows two routers to establish a shared secret over an unsecure
communications channel. The options are as follows:
• group1—768-bit D-H Group. D-H Group 1.
• group2—1024-bit D-H Group. D-H Group 2. This group provides more
security than group 1, but requires more processing time.
• group5—1536-bit D-H Group. D-H Group 5. This group provides more
security than group 2, but requires more processing time.
Note • If your router does not support group5, it will not appear in the list.
• Easy VPN servers do not support D-H Group 1.
