strongSwan IPsec / IKEv1 / IKEv2 Implementation For Linux

Posted Apr 23, 2009

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: This release implements IKEv2 Multiple Authentication Exchanges (RFC 4739). Refactored IKEv1 pluto code uses the libstrongswan library for basic functions. Up to two DNS and WINS servers to be sent via the IKEv1 ModeConfig protocol can thus be configured via strongswan.conf attributes.
