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 * Fully tested support of IPv6 IPsec tunnel and transport connections * Dynamical IP address and interface update with IKEv2 MOBIKE (RFC 4555) * Automatic insertion and deletion of IPsec-policy-based firewall rules * Strong 128/192/256 bit AES or Camellia encryption, 3DES support * NAT-Traversal via UDP encapsulation and port floating (RFC 3947) * Dead Peer Detection (DPD, RFC 3706) takes care of dangling tunnels * Static virtual IPs and IKEv1 ModeConfig pull and push modes * XAUTH server and client functionality on top of IKEv1 Main Mode authentication * Virtual IP address pool managed by IKE daemon or SQL database * Secure IKEv2 EAP user authentication (EAP-SIM, EAP-AKA, EAP-MSCHAPv2, etc.) * Optional relaying of EAP messages to AAA server via EAP-RADIUS plugin * Support of IKEv2 Multiple Authentication Exchanges (RFC 4739) * 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) * Storage of RSA private keys and certificates on a smartcard (PKCS #11 interface) * Modular plugins for crypto algorithms and relational database interfaces * Support of elliptic curve DH groups and ECDSA certificates (Suite B, RFC 4869) * Optional built-in integrity and crypto tests for plugins and libraries * Smooth Linux desktop integration via the strongSwan NetworkManager applet This package triggers the installation of both, IKEv1 and IKEv2 daemons.
