StrongSWAN - OpenSource IPsec-based VPN Solution
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY



DETAILS

strongSwan is a complete IPsec and IKEv1 implementation for Linux 2.4 and
2.6 kernels. It interoperates with most other IPsec-based VPN products. It
is a descendant of the discontinued FreeS/WAN project. The focus of the
strongSwan project is on strong authentication mechanisms using X.509
public key certificates and optional secure storage of private keys on
smartcards through a standardized PKCS#11 interface. A unique feature is
the use of X.509 attribute certificates to implement advanced access
control schemes based on group memberships.
