Description Eduard Benes 2012-07-11 04:23:11 EDT

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #826264 +++

Description of problem:
Current openswan codes does not have support for aes-gcm algorithms.

--- Additional comment from avagarwa@redhat.com on 2012-05-29 17:37:46 EDT ---

Since Openswan uses NSS crypto library for cryptograhic operation with IKE, NSS should must support aes-gcm too. I have created upstream bug for this:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755500 

The attached patch only solves the issues with ESP as kernel has support for aes-gcm.

sorry, by mistake updated the wrong bug, i was supposed to update 826264.

Comment 4 Elio Maldonado Batiz 2013-02-15 13:29:49 EST

Support for AES Galois Counter Mode was added upstream in nss-3.14. See 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373108 which is now in FIXED status.
