Configuring IKEv2 With Public Key Certificates

Public certificates can be a good choice for large deployments. For more information, see IKE With Public Key Certificates.

Public key certificates are stored in a softtoken keystore by the Cryptographic Framework.

For background information, see How IKE Works.
