It is extensively tested, and has interoperated with many other systems. It provides "ipsecX" devices on which one can do firewalling. The Libreswan userland, is compatible with both KLIPS and NETKEY You cannot build KLIPS and NETKEY inline into the kernel. menu "KLIPS options" depends on KLIPS config KLIPS_ESP bool 'Encapsulating Security Payload - ESP ("VPN")' default y help This option provides support for the IPSEC Encapsulation Security Payload (IP protocol 50) which provides packet layer content hiding, and content authentication. It is recommended to enable this. RFC2406 config KLIPS_AH bool 'Authentication Header - AH' default n help This option provides support for the IPSEC Authentication Header (IP protocol 51) which provides packet layer sender and content authentication. It does not provide for confidentiality. It is not recommended to enable this. RFC2402 config KLIPS_AUTH_HMAC_MD5 bool 'HMAC-MD5 authentication algorithm' default y help The HMAC-MD5 algorithm is used by ESP (and AH) to guarantee packet integrity. There is little reason not to include it. config KLIPS_AUTH_HMAC_SHA1 bool 'HMAC-SHA1 authentication algorithm' default y help The HMAC-SHA1 algorithm is used by ESP (and AH) to guarantee packet integrity. SHA1 is a little slower than MD5, but is said to be a bit more secure. There is little reason not to include it. config KLIPS_ALG bool 'KLIPS_ALG software encryption' default y help This option provides support for loading new algorithms into the kernel for crypto use. You may disable this if using the CONFIG_KLIPS_OCF option for hardware offload. config KLIPS_ENC_CRYPTOAPI bool 'CryptoAPI algorithm interface' default y depends on KLIPS_ALG help Enable the algorithm interface to make all CryptoAPI 1.0 algorithms available to KLIPS. config KLIPS_ENC_3DES bool '3DES encryption algorithm' default y help The 3DES algorithm is used by ESP to provide for packet privacy. 3DES is 3-repeats of the DES algorithm. 3DES is widely supported, and analyzed and is considered very secure. 1DES is not supported. config KLIPS_ENC_AES bool 'AES encryption algorithm' default y depends on KLIPS_ALG help The AES algorithm is used by ESP to provide for packet privacy. AES the NIST replacement for DES. AES is being widely analyzed, and is very fast. config KLIPS_IPCOMP bool 'IP compression' default y help The IPcomp protocol is used prior to ESP to make the packet smaller. Once encrypted, compression will fail, so any link layer efforts (e.g. PPP) will not work. config KLIPS_OCF bool 'IPsec OCF Acceleration Support' default n help OCF provides Asynchronous crypto acceleration for kernel and user applications. It supports various HW accelerators. If you have OCF support enabled and wish IPsec to utilise the hardware managed by OCF, then enable this option. OCF is a kernel patch, see http://ocf-linux.sourceforge.net/ config KLIPS_DEBUG bool 'IPsec debugging' default y help KLIPS includes a lot of debugging code. Unless there is a real tangible benefit to removing this code, it should be left in place. Debugging connections without access to kernel level debugging is essentially impossible. Leave this on. config KLIPS_IF_MAX int 'Maximum number of virtual interfaces' default 64 range 4 256 help KLIPS creates virtual interfaces for tunnel purposes. At present it keeps track of certain items in an array (FIX ME), and needs to preallocate this array. Only a pointer is used per item. config KLIPS_IF_NUM int 'Number of virtual interfaces to auto create' default 2 range 0 256 help KLIPS will auto create a number of interfaces, any further interfaces need to be created with tncfg. endmenu
