options, DES, 3DES, AES (128, 192 and 256) and NULL. NULL means it is a tunnel only with no encryption. 3DES and AES are more powerful but increase latency.

•DES: Stands for Data Encryption Standard, it uses 56 bits as an encryption method.

•3DES: Stands for Triple Data Encryption Standard, it uses 168 (56*3) bits as an encryption method.

•AES: Stands for Advanced Encryption Standards, you can use 128, 192 or 256 bits as encryption method.

Perfect Forward Secrecy: Choose whether to enable PFS using Diffie-Hellman public-key cryptography to change encryption keys during the second phase of VPN negotiation. This function will provide better security, but extends the VPN negotiation time. Diffie-Hellman is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared secret over an unsecured communication channel (i.e. over the Internet). There are three modes, MODP 768-bit,

MODP 1024-bit and MODP 1536-bit. MODP stands for Modular Exponentiation Groups. Pre-shared Key: This is for the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, a string from 4 to 128 characters. Both sides should use the same key. IKE is used to establish a shared security policy

and authenticated keys for services (such as IPSec) that require a key. Before any IPSec traffic

can be passed, each router must be able to verify the identity of its peer. This can be done by manually entering the pre-shared key into both sides (router or hosts).
