Chapter 8 Security 8.12.8 Pre-Shared Key A pre-shared key identifies a communicating party during a phase 1 IKE negotiation (see Section 8.12.3 on page 146 for more on IKE phases). It is called "pre-shared" because you have to share it with another party before you can communicate with them over a secure connection. 8.12.9 Diffie-Hellman (DH) Key Groups Diffie-Hellman (DH) is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared secret over an unsecured communications channel. Diffie-Hellman is used within IKE SA setup to establish session keys. 768-bit, 1024-bit 1536-bit, 2048-bit, and 3072-bit Diffie-Hellman groups are supported. Upon completion of the Diffie-Hellman exchange, the two peers have a shared secret, but the IKE SA is not authenticated. For authentication, use pre-shared keys. 150 WiMAX Device Configuration User's Guide
