Configuring HP-UX IPSec

Step 1: Configuring Host IPSec Policies

 

 

 

Where:

 

 

 

 

 

transform_name

 

 

 

 

 

The transform_name is one of the following AH (Authentication

 

 

 

 

Header) or ESP (Encapsulation Security Payload) transform

 

 

 

 

specifications, or a nested AH and ESP transform formed by joining an

 

 

 

 

AH transform and an ESP transform with a plus sign (+). For example,

 

 

 

 

AH_MD5+ESP_3DES.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TIP

 

AES128 is the most secure form of encryption, with performance

 

 

 

 

comparable to or better than DES and 3DES. For added security, use

 

 

 

 

AES in an authenticated ESP transform, such as

 

 

 

 

ESP_AES128_HMAC_SHA1.

 

 

 

 

 

ESP transforms without authentication (such as ESP-AES128) do not

 

 

 

 

provide data integrity and should not be used.
