strongSwan IPsec / IKEv1 / IKEv2 Implementation For Linux

Posted Jan 29, 2007

Authored by Andreas Steffen | Site strongswan.org

strongSwan is a complete IPsec and IKEv1 implementation for Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. It interoperates with most other IPsec-based VPN products. It is a descendant of the discontinued FreeS/WAN project. The focus of the strongSwan project is on strong authentication mechanisms using X.509 public key certificates and optional secure storage of private keys on smartcards through a standardized PKCS#11 interface. A unique feature is the use of X.509 attribute certificates to implement advanced access control schemes based on group memberships.

Changes: strongSwan now interoperates with the NCP Secure Entry Client, the Shrew Soft VPN Client, and the Cisco VPN client, doing both XAUTH and Mode Config. UNITY attributes are now recognized and UNITY_BANNER is set to a default string.
