strongSwan IPsec / IKEv1 / IKEv2 Implementation For Linux

Posted Feb 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: Support of the EAP-MSCHAPv2 protocol enabled. Assignment of up to two DNS and up to two WINS servers to peers via the IKEv2 Configuration Payload. The strongSwan applet for the Gnome NetworkManager is now built and distributed as a separate tarball under the name NetworkManager-strongswan.
