Description

ESP Authentication
Algorithm

Select an authentication algorithm for ESP when the security protocol setting is ESP or
AH-ESP.
You can select MD5 or SHA1, or leave it null so the ESP performs no authentication.

IMPORTANT:

The ESP authentication algorithm and ESP encryption algorithm cannot be both null.

ESP Encryption
Algorithm

Select an encryption algorithm for ESP when the security protocol is ESP or AH-ESP.

Options include:

DES—Uses the DES algorithm and 56-bit keys for encryption.

3DES—Uses the 3DES algorithm and 168-bit keys for encryption.

AES128—Uses the AES algorithm and 128-bit keys for encryption.

AES192—Uses the AES algorithm and 192-bit keys for encryption.

AES256—Uses the AES algorithm and 256-bit keys for encryption.

Leave it null so the ESP performs no encryption.

IMPORTANT:

Higher security means increased complexity and decreased speed. DES is sufficient

for general security requirements. Use 3DES if you require high confidentiality and

security.

The ESP authentication and encryption algorithms cannot be both null.
