Select DES for minimal security and 3DES for maximum.
Select NULL to set up a tunnel without encryption. Select MD5 for minimal security and SHA-1 for
maximum security.
DES (default)
Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a widely used method
of data encryption using a private (secret) key. DES
applies a 56-bit key to each 64-bit block of data. MD5 (default)
MD5 (Message Digest 5) produces a 128-bit
digest to authenticate packet data.
3DES
Triple DES (3DES) is a variant of DES, which iterates
three times with three separate keys (3 x 56 = 168 bits),
effectively doubling the strength of DES. SHA1
SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) produces a
160-bit digest to authenticate packet data.
28.3 IPSec Summary
Type 1 in menu 27 and then press [ENTER] to display Menu 27.1 — IPSec Summary. This is a summary
read-only menu of your IPSec rules (tunnels). Edit or create an IPSec rule by selecting an index number and
