Security Profiles
To process packets, security profiles specify encryption and authentication
algorithms according to the security policy settings.
Security profiles as well as security policy are managed
SecuwayCenter 2000
administrator.
Therefore,
SecuwayCard 2000
users are not allowed to
modify security profiles. But they can view profile details.
If security policy governs packet transmission, security profiles become
unnecessary. Security profiles are applied when IPSec is enabled. In other
words, security profiles are not activated when filtering rules are in force,
and IPSec is not used.
Each security rule can accommodate up to 5 profiles priorities from 1 to 5.
A security profile incorporates sub-rules, which are assigned sequence
numbers starting from 1. If no security profiles are relevant to the
communicating hosts, the connection to the hosts is disabled. On the other
hand, if there is a relevant security profile, you can communicate to such
host.
