Hi, we like to announce the availability of the first IPSec implementation for IPv6 running on Linux. This implementation is based on FreeS/WAN 1.8 (http://www.freeswan.org). The implementation of IPSec tunnel mode and the integration in FreeS/WAN was done by IABG as part of the EU project 6INIT (http://www.6init.org). There's still much work to do but this is the first running IPsec implementation for IPv6 on Linux. Currently the following features have been tested successfully: - IPv6 tunnel mode on gateways - Encryption algorithm: 3DES - Authentication algorithm: MD5 - Tested with Linux kernel 2.4.0 test 9 (others might work) - Tested with static routing - Tested with manual address configuration For detailed information, please read the README and INSTALL documents included in the distribution. You may download FreeS/WAN with IPv6 support from the following URL: http://www.ipv6.iabg.de/downloadframe/index.html If you have any problems downloading the distribution please send me an e-mail!
