Guys,

     Thanks.
So let me recap.

1).  The  default authentication/encryption methodology between the mgmt console
and firewall modules is FWa1.

2).  As of today FWa1 authentication/encryption is secure (has not been cracked
YET!!!) and is the best method to use.

3).  You can change the default authentication/encryption methodology but you
should stick with FWa1.


In the TUV report  (I just read it),  They were able to break FWn1, and s/key.
At Check Point site, it mentions about SSL being available in version 4.1 SP2 as
an option for inter-module communication.  Is there a reason
not to use SSL instead of FWa1?

Would you happen to know what strength is FWa1?
Also how do you interpret that file?



Thanks


AC
