IPSEC utilities for FreeSWan
IPSEC is Internet Protocol SECurity. It uses strong cryptography to provide
both authentication and encryption services. Authentication ensures that
packets are from the right sender and have not been altered in transit.
Encryption prevents unauthorised reading of packet contents.
.
These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks.
Everything passing through the untrusted net is encrypted by the IPSEC
gateway machine and decrypted by the gateway at the other end. The result is
Virtual Private Network or VPN. This is a network which is effectively
private even though it includes machines at several different sites connected
by the insecure Internet.
.
Please note that you will need kernel support for using this package. The
standard Debian kernel already includes support for IPSec. You can build
alternative kernel IPSec support by installing the kernel-source package and
kernel-
make-kpkg, or freeswan-
modules package with make-kpkg.
