P1 Proposal Select the encryption and authentication algorithms that will be used to generate keys for protecting negotiations.

Add or delete encryption and authentication algorithms as required. Select a minimum of one and a maximum of three combinations. The remote peer must be configured to use at least one of the proposals that you define. You can select any of the following symmetric-key algorithms:

DES-Digital Encryption Standard, a 64-bit block algorithm that uses a 56- bit key.

3DES-Triple-DES, in which plain text is encrypted three times by three keys.

AES128-A 128-bit block algorithm that uses a 128-bit key.

AES192-A 128-bit block algorithm that uses a 192-bit key.

AES256-A 128-bit block algorithm that uses a 256-bit key.

You can select either of the following message digests to check the authenticity of messages during phase 1 negotiations:

MD5-Message Digest 5, the hash algorithm developed by RSA Data Security.

SHA1-Secure Hash Algorithm 1, which produces a 160-bit message digest.

To specify a third combination, use the add button beside the fields for the second combination.
