.Os
|

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm fast_ipsec
|
|
.Nd Fast IPsec hardware-accelerated IP Security Protocols
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "options FAST_IPSEC"
|
|
.Cd "options IPSEC_NAT_T"
|
|
.Cd "pseudo-device crypto"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Tn IPsec
|
|
is a set of protocols,
|
|
.Tn ESP
|
|
(for Encapsulating Security Payload)
|
|
.Tn AH
|
|
(for Authentication Header),
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn IPComp
|
|
(for IP Payload Compression Protocol)
|
|
that provide security services for IP datagrams.
|
|
Fast IPsec
|
|
is an implementation of these protocols that uses the
|
|
.Xr opencrypto 9
|
|
subsystem to carry out cryptographic operations.
|
|
This means, in particular, that cryptographic hardware devices are
|
|
employed whenever possible to optimize the performance of these protocols.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In general, the
|
|
Fast IPsec
|
|
implementation is intended to be compatible with the
|
|
.Tn KAME IPsec
|
|
implementation.
|
|
This documentation concentrates on differences from that software.
|
|
The user should refer to
|
|
.Xr ipsec 4
|
|
for basic information on setting up and using these protocols.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
System configuration requires the
|
|
.Xr opencrypto 9
|
|
subsystem.
|
|
When the
|
|
Fast IPsec
|
|
protocols are configured for use, all protocols are included in the system.
|
|
To selectively enable/disable protocols, use
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8 .
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
To be added.

|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The protocols draw heavily on the
|
|
.Ox
|
|
implementation of the
|
|
.Tn IPsec
|
|
protocols.
|
|
The policy management code is derived from the
|
|
.Tn KAME
|
|
implementation found in their
|
|
.Tn IPsec
|
|
protocols.
|
|
The
|
|
Fast IPsec
|
|
protocols are based on code which appeared in
|
|
.Fx 4.7 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Nx
|
|
version is a close copy of the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
original, and first appeared in
|
|
.Nx 2.0 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Support for IPv6 and
|
|
.Tn IPcomp
|
|
protocols has been added in
|
|
.Nx 4.0 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Support for IPSEC_NAT_T
|
|
(Network Address Translator Traversal as
|
|
described in RFCs 3947 and 3948) has been added in
|
|
.Nx 5.0 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
There still are some issues in the IPv6 support.
|
|
In particular
|
|
.Tn FAST_IPSEC
|
|
does not protect packets with IPv6 extension headers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Certain legacy authentication algorithms are not supported because of
|
|
issues with the
|
|
.Xr opencrypto 9
|
|
subsystem.
|
|
.Pp
