O

 

Oakley

A key exchange protocol used in IPSec as part of the Internet Key Exchange

 

protocol.

P

 

Packet Filter

Hardware or software mechanism used in firewalls to discards packets based

 

on the contents of the packet headers.

Perfect Forward

Perfect Forward Secrecy defines a parameter of ISAKMP in which disclosure of

Secrecy

long-term secret keying material does not compromise the secrecy of the

 

exchanged keys from previous communications. Enabling Perfect Forward

 

Secrecy is “more secure”. See the IETF draft-ietf-ipsec-oakley-02.txt for more

 

information on Perfect Forward Secrecy.

PKI

Public Key Infrastructure is the organization of certificate issuers and certificate

 

management processes.

Preshared Secret

Preshared Secret is the simplest key management method used to construct a

 

VPN. Authentication key exchanges between security gateways in the VPN are

 

based on a single pre-shared secret known to all security gateways.

Public Key

A special block of data used to identify the owner of a particular public key. It

Certificate

describes the value of a public key, the key’s owner, and the digital signature of

 

the issuing authority.

R

 

RADIUS

Remote Authentication Dial In User Service is a client/server remote user

 

authentication protocol in widespread use.

Resilient Tunnel

A mechanism of providing automatic backup of a secure tunnel between two

 

endpoints. In practical application, a primary security gateway sends a

 

“heartbeat” packets to a secondary security gateway every few seconds

 

(configurable). Should the primary security gateway fail, the secondary security

 

gateway will stop receiving the heartbeat packets. When this happens, the

 

secondary security gateway switches over and takes on the role of primary

 

security gateway.

S

 

SA

Security Association is an IPSec agreement between to communicating

 

devices on which authentication and encryption algorithms (including key

 

lifetimes) are used.

Session Key

A cryptographic key that has a finite life expectancy, typically for a single

 

session.
