Description

 

 

 

Transform Sets

 

The transform set(s) to use for your tunnel policy. Transform sets

 

 

specify which authentication and encryption algorithms will be

 

 

used to secure the traffic in the tunnel.

 

 

Note Transform sets may use tunnel mode or transport mode of

 

 

IPSec operation. When IPSec or Easy VPN is the assigned

 

 

technology, you cannot use transport mode.

 

 

A default transform set is displayed. If you want to use a different

 

 

transform set, or select additional transform sets, click Select to

 

 

open a dialog box that lists all available transform sets, and in which

 

 

you can create transform set objects. For more information, see

 

 

IPSec Transform Sets Page, page C-130.

 

 

If more than one of your selected transform sets is supported by

 

 

both peers, the transform set that provides the highest security will

 

 

be used.

 

 

Note You can select up to six transform sets.

 

 

For more information, see About Transform Sets, page 9-64.

 

 

Enable Perfect Forward Secrecy

When selected, enables the use of Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) to

 

 

generate and use a unique session key for each encrypted exchange.

 

 

The unique session key protects the exchange from subsequent

 

 

decryption, even if the entire exchange was recorded and the

 

 

attacker has obtained the preshared and/or private keys used by the

 

 

endpoint devices.

 

 

Note To enable PFS, you must also select a Diffie-Hellman group

 

 

for generating the PFS session key.
