What Is Ike V1?
IKEv1 Phase 1 Main Mode - message 2
IKEv1 Phase 1 Main Mode - message 2 The Responder's response to the packet sent from the initiator is the main mode message 2. The purpose of the second message is to inform the person who is initiator.
The fields are the same as in the packet sent. The agreed proposal and transform payload is the only proposal in the second message. IKEv1 Phase 1 uses only three messages to establish IKE SA.
Everything required to form IKE SA is included in the first two messages. IKEv1 Phase 1 is in progress. Endpoint identities are exchanged in Clear-Text in Aggressive Mode.
Main mode is considered more secure than Aggressive mode because the identification payload is locked in Main Mode. IKEv1 Phase 1 Aggressive Mode is the first message. IKEv1 Phase1 is in progress.
The first two messages between peers are aggressive Mode, all the necessary information is exchanged. The first message from the Initiator has SA, Proposal, and Transform. The first message in Aggressive Mode has a Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange and Nonce payload.
Interoperability Testing in IKEv2
There are a number of implementations of IKEv2 and some of the companies that deal interoperability testing are starting to hold workshops for testing as well as updated certification requirements.
EAP in IKEv2
The inclusion of EAP in IKEv2 is a different thing than in IKEv1. IKEv1 does not support the use of EAP and can only choose between a pre-shared key and certificate authentication. It is essential that EAP is connected with existing enterprise systems.
ike-scan: A tool to discover, test and identify IBVPN systems
ike-scan is a tool that can be used to discover, test and identify IPSec and/or IBVPN systems. It constructs and sends IKE Phase-1 packets to the specified hosts and displays any responses that are received.
A VPN Security Policy
As part of formulating a security policy for use of a VPNs, what type of traffic is deemed interesting is determined. The policy is implemented in the configuration interface for each peer. Access lists are used to determine the traffic to be used in a PIX and a Cisco routers.
The access lists are assigned to a policy that states that the selected traffic must be sent in a manner that is safe. Menu windows allow you to select connections to be secured with IPSec. The third exchange is about identity.
The identity value is the peer's address in the internet protocol. The main outcome of main mode is to match IKE SAs between peers to provide a protected pipe for future exchanges. The lifetime of the IKE SA is in seconds or kilobytes, the IKE exchange uses the Diffie-Hellman group, and the shared secret key values for the encryption algorithms.
The IKE SA is in each peer. In aggressive mode, fewer exchanges are made. The first exchange has the proposed IKE SA values, the Diffie-Hellman public key, and an identity packet, which can be used to verify identity.
The receiver will send back the items that are needed to complete the exchange. The only thing left is for the person to confirm the exchange. The weakness of using the aggressive mode is that both sides have exchanged information before a secure channel is established.
IPSec Configuration
Make sure that all of your network devices are configured correctly. Make sure that the route is configured correctly. pinging all the addresses is necessary to reach all the devices.
The pieces of the IPSec configuration are connected using CRYPT maps. A map is made up of one or more entries. A cripto map is made up of several things.
Ike requires both local and remote identities
Ike requires both local and remote identities. The local identity is sent to the remote peer. The identity received from the peer is used to confirm the identity received from the remote identity.
Phase 1 Transforms for Aggressive and IKEv2 BOVPN
A Phase 1 transform is a set of security protocols and methods used to protect data. The peers must agree on the transform during IKE negotiation. You can define a tunnel so that it offers more than one transform.
Add a Phase 1 transform is a more detailed information. The NAT traversal and Phase 1 transforms are shared by all the BOVPN gateways and virtual interface that use IKEv2 and have a remote gateway with a dynamic IP address. See the Configure IKEv2 Shared Settings for more information.
The number of exchanges between two endpoints is less when you use Aggressive mode, and the exchange relies on the ID types used in the exchange by both appliances. Aggressive Mode doesn't make sure the peer is who they say they are. Main Mode only works if both sides have a static internet address.
