over IP, unlike other encryption which generally protects only a particular higher-
level protocol (e.g., SSH for login, SSL for Web work and so on). The
implementation of IPsec used by the AlterPath KVM is FreeSWAN
(www.freeswan.org).
You can use IPsec on any machine that does IP networking. Wherever required to
protect traffic, you can install dedicated IPsec gateway machines. IPsec can also run
on routers, firewall machines, various application servers, and end-user desktop or
laptop machines.
Authentication Keys
To establish a connection, the Console Server and the other end must be able to
authenticate each other. For FreeS/WAN, the default is public key authentication
based on the RSA algorithm.
