Description: strongSwan utility and crypto library
The strongSwan VPN suite uses the native IPsec stack in the standard
Linux kernel. It supports both the IKEv1 and IKEv2 protocols.
.
This package provides the underlying libraries of charon and other strongSwan
components. It is built in a modular way and is extendable through various
plugins.
.
Some default (as specified by the strongSwan projet) plugins are included.
For libstrongswan (cryptographic backends, URI fetchers and database layers):
- aes (AES-128/192/256 cipher software implementation)
- constraints (X.509 certificate advanced constraint checking)
- dnskey (Parse RFC 4034 public keys)
- drbg (NIST SP-800-90A Deterministic Random Bit Generator)
- fips-prf (PRF specified by FIPS, used by EAP-SIM/AKA algorithms)
- gmp (RSA/DH crypto backend based on libgmp)
- hmac (HMAC wrapper using various hashers)
- md5 (MD5 hasher software implementation)
- mgf1 (Mask Generation Functions based on the SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512)

- sshkey (SSH key decoding routines)
- x509 (Advanced X.509 plugin for parsing/generating X.509 certificates/CRLs
and OCSP messages)
- xcbc (XCBC wrapper using various ciphers)
- attr (Provides IKE attributes configured in strongswan.conf)
