Encryption. Determines the type and length of encryption key used to encrypt/ decrypt ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) packets. DES supports
Authentication. Can be configured with MD5 or SHA1. MD5 is an algorithm that produces a
SA Time. Determines how long the VPN tunnel is active. The default value is 28,800 seconds, or 8 hours.
Perfect Forward Secrecy. Provides additional security through a DH shared secret value. When this feature is enabled, one key cannot be derived from another. This ensures previous and subsequent encryption keys are secure even if one key is compromised.
Phase 2. These settings are used to create the IPSec SA. The configurations are similar to those in phase 1.
Shared Secret or x.509. The VPN setup can use either a Shared Secret key or an x.509 certificate. This key or certificate is
Security note. When an individual device connects to a VPN using its own VPN client software, a secure VPN connection exists all the way from the individual device to the VPN server. When you use the Junxion Box to provide VPN access to devices on the LAN, a secure VPN connection exists between the Junxion Box and the VPN server, not the Junxion Box and the LAN devices. You can secure the LAN connections by enabling encryption on the Security page, and by making sure no unauthorized devices are connected to your wireless or wired LAN.
