Authentication Methods Overview

An authentication method defines how an HP VPN device

validates the identity of another device. The identity of a device

includes its name, its IP address, and its public key. When the

packet encapsulation type is set to Shiva Smart Tunneling (SST),

there are five possible authentication methods:

• Certificates by means of the certificate authority

• Challenge Phrase

• SecurID

• RADIUS

• Entrust by means of the Entrust Certificate Authority
