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);
