![]() ![]() The following Modular Exponential (MODP) and Elliptic Curve (EC2N) Diffie-Hellman (also known as "Oakley") Groups are supported: Diffie-Hellman GroupsÄiffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange protocol allows two parties without any initial shared secret to create one securely. PFS adds this expensive operation also to each phase 2 exchange. It usually takes place once per phase 1 exchange, which happens only once between any host pair and then is kept for a long time. Exempli Gratia, the use of the modp8192 group can take several seconds even on a very fast computer. The generation of keying material is computationally very expensive. It means an additional keying material is generated for each phase 2. IKE can optionally provide a Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), which is a property of key exchanges, that, in turn, means for IKE that compromising the long term phase 1 key will not allow to easily gain access to all IPsec data that is protected by SAs established through this phase 1. A general recommendation is to avoid using the PSK authentication method. PSK authentication was known to be vulnerable against Offline attacks in "aggressive" mode, however recent discoveries indicate that offline attack is possible also in the case of "main" and "ike2" exchange modes. This phase should match the following settings: All SAs established by the IKE daemon will have lifetime values (either limiting time, after which SA will become invalid, or the amount of data that can be encrypted by this SA, or both). Phase 2 - The peers establish one or more SAs that will be used by IPsec to encrypt data.The keying material used to derive keys for all SAs and to protect following ISAKMP exchanges between hosts is generated also. Phase 1 - The peers agree upon algorithms they will use in the following IKE messages and authenticate.In both cases, peers establish a connection and execute 2 phases: IKE daemon responds to remote connection. The policy notifies the IKE daemon about that, and the IKE daemon initiates a connection to a remote host. There is some traffic caught by a policy rule which needs to become encrypted or authenticated, but the policy doesn't have any SAs. There are two possible situations when it is activated: ![]() Most of the time IKE daemon is doing nothing. Together they provide means for authentication of hosts and automatic management of security associations (SA). There are other key exchange schemes that work with ISAKMP, but IKE is the most widely used one. The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a protocol that provides authenticated keying material for the Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) framework. Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) RFC 4303.Dynamically generates and distributes cryptographic keys for AH and ESP. Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocols.IPsec protocol suite can be divided into the following groups: Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a set of protocols defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to secure packet exchange over unprotected IP/IPv6 networks such as the Internet. ![]()
