Billion BiGuard VPN Client
zAES: Stands for Advanced Encryption Standards, you can use 128, 192 or 256 bits as encryption method.
~IKE authentication: It is a Message Digest algorithm which coverts any length of a message into a unique set of bits. It is widely used MD5 (Message Digest) and SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) algorithms.
SHA is more resistant to brute-force attacks than MD5, however it is slower.
zMD5: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 128−bit hash.
zSHA: A one-way hashing algorithm that produces a 160−bit hash.
~IKE key group (Diffie-Hellman key length): It 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.
