P-202H Plus v2 User's Guide • Main Mode ensures the highest level of security when the communicating parties are negotiating authentication (phase 1). It uses 6 messages in three round trips: SA negotiation, Diffie-Hellman exchange and an exchange of nonces (a nonce is a random number). This mode features identity protection (your identity is not revealed in the negotiation). • Aggressive Mode is quicker than Main Mode because it eliminates several steps when the communicating parties are negotiating authentication (phase 1). However the tradeoff is that faster speed limits its negotiating power and it also does not provide identity protection. It is useful in remote access situations where the address of the initiator is not know by the responder and both parties want to use pre-shared key authentication. 11.10.2 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 (Group 1 - DH1) and 1024-bit (Group 2 - DH2) 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. 11.10.3 Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) Enabling PFS means that the key is transient. The key is thrown away and replaced by a brand new key using a new Diffie-Hellman exchange for each new IPSec SA setup. With PFS enabled, if one key is compromised, previous and subsequent keys are not compromised, because subsequent keys are not derived from previous keys. The (time-consuming) DiffieHellman exchange is the trade-off for this extra security. This may be unnecessary for data that does not require such security, so PFS is disabled (None) by default in the ZyXEL Device. Disabling PFS means new authentication and encryption keys are derived from the same root secret (which may have security implications in the long run) but allows faster SA setup (by bypassing the Diffie-Hellman key exchange). 11.11 Advanced IKE Settings Select Advanced at the bottom of the VPN-IKE screen.

Main Mode

ensures the highest level of security when the communicating parties are

negotiating authentication (phase 1). It uses 6 messages in three round trips: SA

negotiation, Diffie-Hellman exchange and an exchange of nonces (a nonce is a random

number). This mode features identity protection (your identity is not revealed in the

negotiation).

•

Aggressive Mode

is quicker than

Main Mode

because it eliminates several steps when

the communicating parties are negotiating authentication (phase 1). However the trade-

off is that faster speed limits its negotiating power and it also does not provide identity

protection. It is useful in remote access situations where the address of the initiator is not

know by the responder and both parties want to use pre-shared key authentication.

11.10.2

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 (Group 1 -

DH1

) and 1024-bit (Group 2 –

DH2

) 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.

11.10.3

Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS)

Enabling PFS means that the key is transient. The key is thrown away and replaced by a brand

new key using a new Diffie-Hellman exchange for each new IPSec SA setup. With PFS

enabled, if one key is compromised, previous and subsequent keys are not compromised,

because subsequent keys are not derived from previous keys. The (time-consuming) Diffie-

Hellman exchange is the trade-off for this extra security.

This may be unnecessary for data that does not require such security, so PFS is disabled

(

None

) by default in the ZyXEL Device. Disabling PFS means new authentication and

encryption keys are derived from the same root secret (which may have security implications

in the long run) but allows faster SA setup (by bypassing the Diffie-Hellman key exchange).
