SnapGear 1.7.8 manual IPSec interoperability

Checking the Enable Perfect Forward Secrecy of keys checkbox means that an attacker who acquires the SnapGear appliance’s long-term key (i.e. the pre-shared secret or RSA Signature Key Private Section) cannot:

•Read previous messages which they may have archived, or

•Read future messages without performing additional successful attacks

Perfect forward secrecy of keys provides the maximum security and is the recommended setting.
