  • SRG-NET-000337-VPN-001290

    Group
  • The F5 BIG-IP appliance IPsec VPN Gateway must renegotiate the IPsec Phase 1 security association after eight hours or less.

    The IPsec security association (SA) and its corresponding key will expire either after the number of seconds or amount of traffic volume has exceeded the configured limit. A new SA is negotiated be...

  • SRG-NET-000337-VPN-001300

    Group
  • The F5 BIG-IP appliance IPsec VPN must renegotiate the IKE Phase 2 security association after eight hours or less.

    When a VPN gateway creates an IPsec Security Association (SA), resources must be allocated to maintain the SA. These resources are wasted during periods of IPsec endpoint inactivity, which could re...

    Group
  • The F5 BIG-IP appliance IPsec VPN must use cryptographic algorithms approved by NSA to protect NSS when transporting classified traffic across an unclassified network.

    Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption to protect data. The VPN gateway must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards appr...
