Hi Tim, adding to RHEl5.2 release notes under "Feature Updates": <quote> OpenSwan OpenSwan is a free implementation of Internet Protocol Security (IPSEC) and IKE for Linux. IPSEC strong cryptography to provide authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. Everything passing through the untrusted network is encrypted by the IPSEC gateway machine and decrypted by the gateway at the other end of the tunnel. The resulting tunnel is a virtual private network or VPN. This release of OpenSwan also contains an IKE2 daemon that conforms to IETF RFCs. </quote>
by the way, just to verify: does "IKE" stand for "Internet Key Exchange"?
Hi, the RHEL5.2 release notes will be dropped to translation on April 15, 2008, at which point no further additions or revisions will be entertained. a mockup of the RHEL5.2 release notes can be viewed at the following link: http://intranet.corp.redhat.com/ic/intranet/RHEL5u2relnotesmockup.html please use the aforementioned link to verify if your bugzilla is already in the release notes (if it needs to be). each item in the release notes contains a link to its original bug; as such, you can search through the release notes by bug number. Cheers, Don
Just to notify that Openswan is written without capital S in it. Please fix. And IPsec should be written as "IPsec", not "IPSEC".
(In reply to comment #1) > by the way, just to verify: does "IKE" stand for "Internet Key Exchange"? Yup
Yes, please use "Openswan" not "OpenSwan" nor "Open/SWAN". Also, indeed it is IPsec, not IPSEC. You might want to reference the specific RFC's for IKEv2, eg: This release of Openswan also supports IKEv2 (RFC 4306,4718)
Thanks Paul, Tuomo, revised as follows: <quote> Openswan Openswan is a free implementation of Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and Internet Key Exchange (IKE) for Linux. IPSEC uses strong cryptography to provide authentication and encryption services. These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. Everything passing through the untrusted network is encrypted by the IPsec gateway machine and decrypted by the gateway at the other end of the tunnel.
