SA (Security Association)

A Security Association (SA) is the establishment of shared

security attributes between two network entities to support

secure communication. An SA may include attributes such as:

cryptographic algorithm and mode; traffic encryption key; and

parameters for the network data to be passed over the

connection. Establishment of an SA is described in RFC 2408,

the Internet Security Association and Key Management

Protocol.

This page allows you to configure SA.
