Security Features	The Secure Enterprise Linux Client supports all major IPsec standards in accordance with RFC
Personal Firewall	Stateful Packet Inspection; IP-NAT (Network Address Translation); Friendly Net Detection (FND)* (analysis of: current network address and IP address; automatic FND, secure hotspot logon; differentiated filter rules relative to: protocols, ports and addresses, LAN adapter protection, central administration with Client firewall configuration plug-in*
Virtual Private Networking	IPsec (Layer 3 Tunneling), RFC-conformant; IPsec proposals can be determined through the IPsec gateway (IKE, IPsec Phase 2); Event log; communication in the tunnel; MTU size fragmentation and reassembly, DPD, NAT-Traversal (NAT-T); IPsec tunnel mode
Encryption	Symmetric processes: AES 128,192,256 bits; Blowfish 128,448 bits; Triple-DES 112,168 bits; dynamic processes for key exchange: RSA to 2048 bits; seamless rekeying (PFS); hash algorithms: SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, MD5, Diffie-Hellman Groups 1,2,5,14
Authentication Processes	IKE (Aggressive mode and Main Mode), Quick Mode; XAUTH for extended user authentication; IKE config mode for dynamic assignment of a virtual address from the internal address pool (private IP); PFS; PAP, CHAP, MS CHAP V.2; IEEE 802.1x: EAP-MD5 (Extensible Authentication Protocol): Extended authentication relative to switches and access points (Layer 2); EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security): Extended authentication relative to switches and access points on the basis of certificates (Layer 2); support of certificates in a PKI: Soft certificates, smart cards, and USB tokens: Pre-shared secrets, one-time passwords, and challenge response systems; RSA SecurID ready
FIPS Inside	The IPsec Client incorporates cryptographic algorithms conformant with the FIPS standard. The embedded cryptographic module incorporating these algorithms has been validated as conformant to FIPS 140-2 (certificate #1051). FIPS compatibility is always given if the following algorithms are used for set up and encryption of the IPsec connection: Group 2 or higher (DH starting from a length of 1024 bits) Hash Algorithms: SHA1, SHA 256, SHA 384 or SHA 512 bits Encryption Algorithms: AES with 128, 192 or 256 bits or Triple DES
Strong Authentication - Standards PKI Enrollment	X.509 v.3 Standard; Entrust Ready PKCS#11 interface for encryption tokens (USB and smart cards); smart card operating systems: TCOS 1.2 and 2.0; smart card reader interfaces: PC/SC, CT-API; PKCS#12 interface for private keys in soft certificates; PIN policy; administrative specification for PIN entry in any level of complexity; revocation: EPRL (End-entity Public-key Certificate Revocation List, formerly CRL), CARL (Certification Authority Revocation List, formerly ARL), OCSP. CMP (Certificate Management Protocol)
Network Access Control	Endpoint Policy Enforcement
Networking Features	LAN emulation: virtual Ethernet adapter
Network Protocol	IP
Dialer	NCP Internet Connector
VPN Path Finder	NCP Path Finder Technology: Fallback IPsec/ HTTPS (port 443) if port 500 respectively UDP encapsulation is no possible (prerequisite: NCP VPN Path Finder Technology on the Gateway is required)
Additional Features	Automatic media detection, UDP encapsulation, Multi certificate support
IP Address Allocation	DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol), DNS: Dial-in to the central gateway with changing public IP addresses through IP address query via DNS server
