Diffie Hellman Group

Select a

Diffie-Hellman Group

to use. The Diffie-Hellman key

agreement protocol allows two users to exchange a secret key over
an insecure medium without any prior secrets. Two algorithms
exist, 768-bit and 1024-bit. Select one of the following options:

Group 1 - 768 bit - Somewhat faster than the 1024-bit
algorithm, but secure enough in most situations.

Group 2 - 1024 bit - Somewhat slower than the 768-bit
algorithm, but much more secure and a better choice for
extremely sensitive situations.
