Web work and so on). The implementation of IPsec used by the AlterPath
Console Server is FreeSWAN (www.freeswan.org).
You can use IPsec on any machine that does IP networking. Wherever
required to protect traffic, you can install dedicated IPsec gateway machines.
IPsec can also run on routers, firewall machines, various application servers,
and end-user desktop or laptop machines.
Authentication Keys
To establish a connection, the Console Server and the other end must be able
to authenticate each other. For FreeS/WAN, the default is public key
authentication based on the RSA algorithm.
