IPSec with
Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS can be run on the IPSec endpoints thereby creating an
IPSec tunnel using dynamic IP addresses.
IKE
IKE is a profile of ISAKMP that is for use by IPsec. It is often called
simply IKE. IKE creates a private, authenticated key management
channel. Using that channel, two peers can communicate, arranging
for sessions keys to be generated for AH, ESP or IPcomp. The
channel is used for the peers to agree on the encryption, authentication
and compression algorithms that will be used. The traffic to which the
policies will applied is also agreed upon.
ISAKMP
ISAKMP is a framework for doing Security Association Key
Management. It can, in theory, be used to produce session keys for
many different systems, not just IPsec.
Key lifetimes
The length of time before keys are renegotiated.
LAN
Local Area Network.
LED
Light-Emitting Diode.
Local Private Key
Certificate &
Passphrase
The private part of the public/private key pair of the certificate resides
on the SnapGear appliance. The passphrase is a key that can be used
to lock and unlock the information in the private key certificate.
Local Public Key
Certificate
The public part of the public/private key pair of the certificate resides on
the SnapGear appliance and is used to authenticate against the CA
certificate.
MAC address
The hardware address of an Ethernet interface. It is a 48-bit number
usually written as a series of 6 hexadecimal octets, e.g.
00:d0:cf:00:5b:da. A SnapGear appliance has a MAC address for each
Ethernet interface. These are listed on a label on the underneath of the
device.
Main Mode
This Phase 1 keying mode automatically exchanges encryption and
authentication keys and protects the identities of the parties attempting
to establish the tunnel.
Manual Keying
This type of keying requires the encryption and authentication keys to
be specified.
Manual Keys
Predetermined encryption and authentication keys used to establish the
tunnel.
Masquerade
The process when a gateway on a local network modifies outgoing
packets by replacing the source address of the packets with its own IP
address. All IP traffic originating from the local network appears to
come from the gateway itself and not the machines on the local
network.
MD5
Message Digest Algorithm Five is a 128 bit hash. It is one of two
message digest algorithms available in IPSec.
NAT
Network Address Translation. The translation of an IP address used on
one network to an IP address on another network. Masquerading is
one particular form of NAT.
