SunScreen 3.2 Administrator's Overview

ssadm algorithm

ssadm algorithm lists the SKIP and IKE algorithms that are available for a specified algorithm type.

Usage:

ssadm algorithm [-i]alg_type[crypt_type]

OR

ssadm algorithm [-k]alg_type[crypt_type]

where alg_type must be one of key, data, mac, compression, encryption, or authentication, and crypt_type, if supplied, must be SKIP_VERSION_1, SKIP_VERSION_2, or IPSEC.

The following combinations are valid:

ssadm algorithm i/k-opt key SKIP_VERSION_1ssadm algorithm i/k-opt data SKIP_VERSION_1ssadm algorithm i/k-opt key SKIP_VERSION_2ssadm algorithm i/k-opt data SKIP_VERSION_2ssadm algorithm i/k-opt mac SKIP_VERSION_2ssadm algorithm i/k-opt compression SKIP_VERSION_2ssadm algorithm i/k-opt encryption [IPSEC]ssadm algorithm i/k-opt authentication [IPSEC]

The i/k-opt is either -i, or -k. Note that -i lists only algorithms (with the specified restrictions) that are currently installed on the Screen and that -k lists all possible (known) algorithms (with the specified restrictions). The default is -k.

As shown above, the default crypt_type for key, data, mac, and compression is SKIP_VERSION_2; the default crypt_type for encryption and authentication is IPSEC.
