The Abilis IPSEC resource supports the creation of a Security Association (SA) using IKE mode.

It uses a Diffie-Hellman key exchange to set up a shared session secret from which cryptographic keys are derived; a pre-shared key is used to mutually authenticate the communicating parties.

An IPSEC VPN is managed through the following resources/tables:

IPSEC resource;
IPSEC tables (Security Associations table, Policy tables);
IKE resource;
IKE tables (Host connections table, Client connections table, Pre-Shared key table);

	Tip
	Refer to chapter Section 41.6, “Appendix - IPSEC protocol” to have more information about IPSEC protocol.
