(Data Profiles, Network Layer Security)

HGDefinitionMob%26Port.jpgKeyStoneButton.gif

Selects the secure encryption key that will be used in the Authentication phase of the IKE (Internet Key Exchange) protocol while establishing a secure tunnel with the VPN (Virtual Private Network) Gateway. It is not the key that will be used to secure the tunnel with the VPN gateway, as those keys are derived session keys which are part of the IKE standard. This selection applies to secure encryption for LTE Broadband data communications, and only for the current Data Profile.

This key must be an Advanced Encryption Standard AES-256 key for this feature to work; otherwise, an error message will be shown while attempting to establish the tunnel with the VPN Gateway.

 

The VPN Key Selection value for the current Data Profile is directly chosen from the Secure Wide Window's Encryption Key List.
