[I] An IPsec implementation for Linux
[T] strongSwan is an OpenSource IPsec implementation for the Linux operating[T] system.[T] It is based on the discontinued FreeS/WAN project and the X.509 patch which[T] we developped over the last three years. In order to have a stable IPsec[T] platform to base our future extensions of the X.509 capability on, we[T] decided to lauch the strongSwan project.[T][T] The focus is on[T] - simplicity of configuration[T] - strong encryption and authentication methods[T] - powerful IPsec policies supporting large and complex VPN networks[T] [T] strongSwan features includes: [T] - both on Linux 2.4 (KLIPS) and Linux 2.6 (native IPsec) kernels. [T] - Fast connection startup and periodic update using ipsec starter[T] - Automatic insertion and deletion of IPsec policy based firewall rules[T] - strong 3DES, AES, Serpent, Twofish, or Blowfish encryption[T] - NAT-Traversal (RFC 3947) and support of virtual IPs and IKE Mode Config[T] - Dead Peer Detection (DPD, RFC 3706) takes care of dangling tunnels[T] - Authentication based on X.509 certificates or preshared keys[T] - Authentication based on X.509 certificates or preshared keys[T] - Generation of a default self-signed certificate during first strongSwan startup[T] - Retrieval and local caching of Certificate Revocation Lists via HTTP or LDAP[T] - Full support of the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP, RCF 2560)[T] - CA management (OCSP and CRL URIs, default LDAP server)[T] - Powerful IPsec policies based on wildcards or intermediate CAs[T] - Group policies based on X.509 attribute certificates ( RFC 3281)[T] - Optional storage of RSA private keys and certificates on a smartcard[T] - Smartcard access via standardized PKCS #11 interface [T] - PKCS #11 proxy function offering RSA decryption services via whack
