In this demonstration, we’ll
show how to establish IPsec tunnels for site-to-site configuration using IKE
and public keys derived from X.509 certificates.
|
|
The certificate authority
used in this demonstration is supported in one of the Security Gateways, a
Nokia CryptoCluster 500 (HOME-SG). This CA supports IPsec-relevant
certificate issuing, registration, and revocation. Standard public/private
key cryptography is used in authenticating ISO X.509v3 digital certificates.
|
|
As an interesting aside, the
Nokia Cryptoclusters support raw public keys by default. The keys are
generated randomly, using strong random numbers from the hi/fn 6501
cryptographic co-processor.

This illustration shows our
configuration. We’ll be using Telnet and the CryptoConsole admin software on
a laptop, 172.16.1.5 to demonstrate the configuration process, and the
process of creating IKE and IPsec security associations.
