The rulesets themselves can be loaded, viewed, and modified via the .Xr ipsecctl 8 userland utility. .Sh FLOWS IPsec uses .Em flows to determine whether to apply security services to an IP packet or not. The following security services are available: .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ic flow esp ESP can provide the following properties: authentication, integrity, replay protection, and confidentiality of the data. .It Ic flow ah AH provides authentication, integrity, and replay protection, but no confidentiality. .El .Pp For details on ESP and AH see .Xr ipsec 4 . When no service is specified, .Xr ipsecctl 8 will use ESP. The settings for the security services have to be negotiated by .Xr isakmpd 8 . As soon as a packet matches a flow, .Xr isakmpd 8 automatically starts the negotiation. See .Xr isakmpd 8 for details. .Pp Parameters specify the packets to which a flow applies. Some parameters are optional. .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ar in No or Ar out This rule applies to incoming or outgoing packets. If neither .Ar in nor .Ar out are specified, .Xr ipsecctl 8 will assume the direction .Ar out for this rule and will construct a proper .Ar in rule. Thus packets in both directions will be matched. .It Xo .Ar from .Aq Ar src .Ar to .Aq Ar dst .Ar peer .Aq Ar remote .Xc This rule applies for packets with source address .Aq Ar src and destination address .Aq Ar dst . All addresses are specified in CIDR notation. The keyword .Ar any will match any address (i.e. 0.0.0.0/0). The .Ar peer parameter specifies the address of the remote endpoint of this particular flow. For host-to-host connections where .Aq Ar dst is identical to .Aq Ar remote , the .Ar peer specification can be left out. .El .Sh IPSEC SAs The security parameters for a .Ar flow are stored in the Security Association Database (SADB). The following rules enter SAs in the SADB: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact .It Ic esp Enter an ESP SA. .It Ic ah Enter an AH SA. .It Ic ipcomp Enter an IPCOMP SA. .El .Pp Parameters specify the peers, Security Parameter Index (SPI), cryptographic transforms, and key material to be used. .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Xo .Ar from .Aq Ar src .Ar to .Aq Ar dst .Xc This SA is for a .Ar flow between the peers .Aq Ar src and .Aq Ar dst . .It Xo .Ar spi .Aq Ar number .Xc The SPI identifies a specific SA. .Ar number is a 32-bit value and needs to be unique. .It Xo .Ar auth .Aq Ar algorithm .Xc For both .Ar esp and .Ar ah an authentication algorithm can be specified. Possible algorithms are .Ar hmac-md5 , .Ar hmac-ripemd160 , .Ar hmac-sha1 , .Ar hmac-sha2-256 , .Ar hmac-sha2-384 , .Ar hmc-sha2-512 , .Ar md5 , and .Ar sha1 . .Pp If no algorithm is specified, .Xr ipsecctl 8 will choose .Ar hmac-sha2-256 by default. .It Xo .Ar comp .Aq Ar algorithm .Xc The compression algorithm to be used. Possible algorithms are .Ar deflate and .Ar lzs . Note that .Ar lzs is only available with .Xr hifn 4 because of the patent held by Hifn, Inc. .It Xo .Ar enc .Aq Ar algorithm .Xc For .Ar esp an encryption algorithm needs to be specified. Possible algorithms are .Ar 3des-cbc , .Ar des-cbc , .Ar aes , .Ar aesctr , .Ar blowfish , .Ar cast128 , .Ar null , and .Ar skipjack . .Pp If no algorithm is specified, .Xr ipsecctl 8 will choose .Ar aesctr by default. .It Xo .Ar authkey .Aq Ar keyspec .Xc .Ar keyspec defines the authentication key to be used. It is either a hexadecimal string or a path to a file containing the key. The filename may be given as either an absolute path to the file or a relative pathname, and is specified as follows: .Bd -literal -offset -indent authkey file "filename" .Ed .It Xo .Ar enckey .Aq Ar keyspec .Xc The encryption key is defined similar to .Ar authkey . .El .Pp It is very important that keys are not guessable. One practical way of generating 160-bit (20-byte) keys is a follows: .Bd -literal -offset indent $ openssl rand 20 | hexdump -e '20/1 "%02x"' .Ed .Pp For .Ar spi , .Ar authkey , and .Ar enckey , it is possible to specify two colon separated values. .Xr ipsecctl 8 will then generate the matching incoming SA using the second values for .Ar spi , .Ar authkey , and .Ar enckey . .Sh AUTOMATIC KEYING USING ISAKMP/IKE Rules can also specify IPsec flows and SAs to be established automatically by .Xr isakmpd 8 . This is accomplished by the following rule: .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Ic ike esp Creates an IPsec tunnel using ESP. .El .Pp Note that AH and transport mode are not yet supported. See .Xr isakmpd 8 for details on ISAKMP/IKE. .Pp Parameters specify the packets that will go through the tunnel and which cryptographic transforms are used for .Xr isakmpd 8 . Some parameters are optional. .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Xo .Ar passive .Xc When .Ar passive is specified .Xr isakmpd 8 will not immediately start negotiation of this tunnel, but wait for an incoming request from the remote peer. If not specified, .Xr isakmpd 8 will start negotiation at once. .It Xo .Ar from .Aq Ar src .Ar to .Aq Ar dst .Ar peer .Aq Ar remote .Xc This rule applies for packets with source address .Aq Ar src and destination address .Aq Ar dst . All addresses are specified in CIDR notation. The keyword .Ar any will match any address (i.e. 0.0.0.0/0). The .Ar peer parameter specifies the address of the remote endpoint of this particular flow. For host-to-host connections where .Aq Ar dst is identical to .Aq Ar remote , the .Ar peer specification can be left out. .It Xo .Ar main auth .Aq Ar algorithm .Ar enc .Aq Ar algorithm .Xc These paramters define the cryptographic transforms to be used for main mode. Possible values for .Aq Ar auth are .Ar sha1 and .Ar md5 . For .Aq Ar enc the values .Ar des , .Ar 3des , .Ar aes , .Ar blowfish and .Ar cast are allowed. If omitted, .Xr isakmpd 8 will use the default values .Aq Ar sha1 and .Aq Ar 3des . .It Xo .Ar quick auth .Aq Ar algorithm .Ar enc .Aq Ar algorithm .Xc Similar to .Ar main , .Ar quick defines the transforms to be used for quick mode. However, the possible values for .Aq Ar auth are .Ar hmac-md5 , .Ar hmac-sha1 , .Ar hmac-ripemd160 , .Ar hmac-sha2-256 , .Ar hmac-sha2-384 and .Ar hmac-sha2-512 . For .Ar enc valid values are again .Ar des , .Ar 3des , .Ar aes , .Ar blowfish and .Ar cast . If no quick mode transforms are specified, the default values .Ar hmac-sha2-256 and .Ar aes are chosen. .It Xo .Ar srcid .Aq Ar fqdn .Xc This optional parameter defines a FQDN that will be used by .Xr isakmpd 8 as the identity of the local peer. .It Xo .Ar dstid .Aq Ar fqdn .Xc Similar to .Ar srcid , this optional parameter defines a FQDN to be used by the remote peer. .El .Pp Note that .Xr isakmpd 8 will use RSA authentication. By default, the system startup script .Xr rc 8 generates a key-pair when starting, if one does not already exist. .Pp See also .Sx ISAKMP EXAMPLES below. .Sh TCP MD5 SIGNATURES RFC 2385 describes a mechanism to protect .Xr tcp 4 sessions using MD5. A Security Association (SA) for TCP MD5 signatures is set up using the following rule: .Bl -tag -width xxxx .It Xo .Ar tcpmd5 .Ar from .Aq Ar src .Ar to .Aq Ar dst .Ar spi .Aq Ar number .Ar authkey .Aq Ar keyspec .Xc This rule applies for packets with source address .Aq Ar src and destination address .Aq Ar dst . All addresses are specified in CIDR notation. The parameter .Ar spi is a 32-bit value defining the Security Parameter Index (SPI) for this SA. .Pp The authentication key to be used is a hexadecimal string of arbitrary length or a path to a file containing the key. The filename may be given as either an absolute path to the file or a relative pathname, and is specified as follows: .Bd -literal -offset -indent authkey file "filename" .Ed .Pp It is very important that the key is not guessable. One practical way of generating 160-bit (20-byte) keys is as follows: .Bd -literal -offset indent $ openssl rand 20 | hexdump -e '20/1 "%02x"' .Ed .Pp For both .Ar spi and .Ar authkey it is possible to specify two values separated by a colon. .Xr ipsecctl 8 will then generate the matching incoming SA using the second values for .Ar spi and .Ar authkey . .El .Pp For details on how to enable TCP MD5 signatures see .Xr tcp 4 . .Sh EXAMPLES .Bd -literal # Host-to-host flow esp from 192.168.3.14 to 192.168.3.100 # Same as above, but explicitly specifying "in" and "out" rules flow esp out from 192.168.3.14 to 192.168.3.100 flow esp in from 192.168.3.100 to 192.168.3.14 # Net-to-net flow esp from 192.168.7.0/24 to 192.168.8.0/24 peer 192.168.3.12 # Same as above, but explicitly specifying "in" and "out" rules flow esp out from 192.168.7.0/24 to 192.168.8.0/24 peer 192.168.3.12 flow esp in from 192.168.8.0/24 to 192.168.7.0/24 peer 192.168.3.12 # Set up IPsec SAs for flows between 192.168.3.14 and 192.168.3.12 esp from 192.168.3.14 to 192.168.3.12 spi 0xdeadbeef:0xbeefdead \e auth hmac-sha2-256 enc aesctr authkey file "auth14:auth12" \e enckey file "enc14:enc12" .Ed .Sh TCP MD5 EXAMPLES .Bd -literal # Set up keys for TCP MD5 signatures tcpmd5 from 192.168.3.14 to 192.168.3.27 spi 0x1000:0x1001 \e authkey 0xdeadbeef:0xbeefdead # Set up keys for TCP MD5 signatures; read keys from files tcpmd5 from 192.168.3.14 to 192.168.3.27 spi 0x1000:0x1001 \e authkey file "/path/to/key1:/path/to/key2" .Ed .Sh ISAKMP EXAMPLES .Bd -literal # Set up two tunnels: # First between the networks 10.1.1.0/24 and 10.1.2.0/24 # Second between the machines 192.168.3.1 and 192.168.3.2 ike esp from 10.1.1.0/24 to 10.1.2.0/24 peer 192.168.3.2 ike esp from 192.168.3.1 to 192.168.3.2 .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ipcomp 4 , .Xr ipsec 4 , .Xr tcp 4 , .Xr isakmpd.conf 5 , .Xr ipsecctl 8 , .Xr isakmpd 8 , .Xr vpn 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm file format first appeared in .Ox 3.8 .
