A Peer Security Descriptor contains the methods for message authentication, encryption and hashing, and the lifetime of the IKE Security Association.

The Peer Descriptors page allows you to manage Peer Security Descriptors.

The following table summarizes the parameters comprised in the peer security descriptor:

	messages.
Integrity	Hashing function used for message authentication
Group	Diffie-Hellman group for key exchange
Lifetime-secs	The lifetime of the IKE Security Association. At
	expiration of this period re-keying occurs.
