DESCRIPTION
StrongSwan is an OpenSource IPsec-based VPN Solution for Linux
* runs both on Linux 2.4 (KLIPS IPsec) and Linux 2.6 (NETKEY IPsec)
kernels
* implements both the IKEv1 and IKEv2 (RFC 4306) key exchange
protocols
* NEW: Fully tested support of IPv6 IPsec tunnel connections
* Dynamical IP address and interface update with IKEv2 MOBIKE (RFC
4555)
* Fast connection startup and periodic update using ipsec starter
* Automatic insertion and deletion of IPsec policy based firewall
rules
* Strong 3DES, AES, Serpent, Twofish, or Blowfish encryption
* NAT-Traversal via UDP encapsulation and port floating (RFC 3947)
* Static Virtual IPs and IKE Mode Config Pull and Push modes
* XAUTH server and client functionality on top of IKE Main Mode
authentication
* Dead Peer Detection (DPD, RFC 3706) takes care of dangling tunnels
* Authentication based on X.509 certificates or preshared keys
* Generation of a default self-signed certificate during first
strongSwan startup
* Retrieval and local caching of Certificate Revocation Lists via
HTTP or LDAP
* Full support of the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP, RCF
2560).
* CA management (OCSP and CRL URIs, default LDAP server)
* Powerful IPsec policies based on wildcards or intermediate CAs
* Group policies based on X.509 attribute certificates ( RFC 3281)
* Optional storage of RSA private keys and certificates on a
smartcard
* Smartcard access via standardized PKCS #11 interface
* PKCS #11 proxy function offering RSA decryption services via whack
* NEW: strongSwan Manager - a graphical management interface for IKEv2
