It was started by Andreas Steffen, the maintainer of the X.509 patch for FreeS/WAN and focuses on [PKI] and policies for implementing large and complex [VirtualPrivateNetwork]s. strongSwan supports both the native [26sec] [IPSec] stack coming with the Linux 2.6 kernel as well as [FreeSwan]'s [KLIPS] [IPSec] implementation for the Linux 2.4 kernel. NatTraversal is also fully supported. |
