Reference Manual for the ADSL Modem Router DG834 v3 Encryption-select the desired Encryption Algorithm, and enter the key in the field provided. For 3DES, the keys should be 24 ASCII characters and for DES, the keys should be 8 ASCII characters. • DES-the Data Encryption Standard (DES) processes input data that is 64 bits wide, encrypting these values using a 56 bit key. Faster but less secure than 3DES. • 3DES-(Triple DES) achieves a higher level of security by encrypting the data three times using DES with three different, unrelated keys. Authentication-select the desired SHA-1 or MD5 Authentication Algorithm, and enter the key in the field provided. For MD5, the keys should be 16 ASCII characters. For SHA-1, the keys should be 20 ASCII characters. • MD5-128 bits, faster but less secure. • SHA-1 (default)-160 bits, slower but more secure. 6-48 Virtual Private Networking (Advanced Feature) v1.1, October 2006
