Chapter 24 IPSec VPN IKE SA Proposal The IKE SA proposal is used to identify the encryption algorithm, authentication algorithm, and Diffie-Hellman (DH) key group that the ISG50 and remote IPSec router use in the IKE SA. In main mode, this is done in steps 1 and 2, as illustrated next. Figure 253 IKE SA: Main Negotiation Mode, Steps 1 - 2: IKE SA Proposal One or more proposals, each one consisting of: - encryption algorithm - authentication algorithm - Diffie-Hellman key group 1 ISG X 2 Y The ISG50 sends one or more proposals to the remote IPSec router. (In some devices, you can only set up one proposal.) Each proposal consists of an encryption algorithm, authentication algorithm, and DH key group that the ISG50 wants to use in the IKE SA. The remote IPSec router selects an acceptable proposal and sends the accepted proposal back to the ISG50. If the remote IPSec router rejects all of the proposals, the ISG50 and remote IPSec router cannot establish an IKE SA. Note: Both routers must use the same encryption algorithm, authentication algorithm, and DH key group. In most ISG50s, you can select one of the following encryption algorithms for each proposal. The algorithms are listed in order from weakest to strongest. • Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a widely used method of data encryption. It applies a 56-bit key to each 64-bit block of data. • Triple DES (3DES) is a variant of DES. It iterates three times with three separate keys, effectively tripling the strength of DES. • Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a newer method of data encryption that also uses a secret key. AES applies a 128-bit key to 128-bit blocks of data. It is faster than 3DES. Some ISG50s also offer stronger forms of AES that apply 192-bit or 256-bit keys to 128-bit blocks of data. In most ISG50s, you can select one of the following authentication algorithms for each proposal. The algorithms are listed in order from weakest to strongest. • MD5 (Message Digest 5) produces a 128-bit digest to authenticate packet data. • SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) produces a 160-bit digest to authenticate packet data. See Diffie-Hellman (DH) Key Exchange on page 388 for more information about DH key groups. ISG50 User's Guide 387

IKE SA Proposal

The IKE SA proposal is used to identify the encryption algorithm, authentication algorithm, and

Diffie-Hellman (DH) key group that the ISG50 and remote IPSec router use in the IKE SA. In main

mode, this is done in steps 1 and 2, as illustrated next.

Figure 253

IKE SA: Main Negotiation Mode, Steps 1 - 2: IKE SA Proposal

The ISG50 sends one or more proposals to the remote IPSec router. (In some devices, you can only

set up one proposal.) Each proposal consists of an encryption algorithm, authentication algorithm,

and DH key group that the ISG50 wants to use in the IKE SA. The remote IPSec router selects an

acceptable proposal and sends the accepted proposal back to the ISG50. If the remote IPSec router

rejects all of the proposals, the ISG50 and remote IPSec router cannot establish an IKE SA.

Note: Both routers must use the same encryption algorithm, authentication algorithm,

and DH key group.

In most ISG50s, you can select one of the following encryption algorithms for each proposal. The

algorithms are listed in order from weakest to strongest.

•

Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a widely used method of data encryption. It applies a 56-bit

key to each 64-bit block of data.

•

Triple DES (3DES) is a variant of DES. It iterates three times with three separate keys, effectively

tripling the strength of DES.

•

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a newer method of data encryption that also uses a

secret key. AES applies a 128-bit key to 128-bit blocks of data. It is faster than 3DES.

Some ISG50s also offer stronger forms of AES that apply 192-bit or 256-bit keys to 128-bit blocks

of data.

In most ISG50s, you can select one of the following authentication algorithms for each proposal.

The algorithms are listed in order from weakest to strongest.

•

MD5 (Message Digest 5) produces a 128-bit digest to authenticate packet data.

•

SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) produces a 160-bit digest to authenticate packet data.

See

Diffie-Hellman (DH) Key Exchange on page 388

for more information about DH key groups.

One or more proposals, each one consisting of:

- encryption algorithm

- authentication algorithm

- Diffie-Hellman key group
