SSH Communications Security Delivers Standards-based Virtual Private Networking (VPN) Cryptographic Security to Xedia Corporation

Xedia's Access Point QVPN is the industry's first Internet access platform to integrate high performance IP routing, Class-Based Queuing bandwidth management, VPN security and traffic measurement services in a single platform designed to enable network providers to deliver secure, business-quality Internet services.

The SSH ISAKMP/Oakley (SSH IKE) is a key security feature of Xedia's Access Point QVPN products. SSH ISAKMP/Oakley provides Access Point QVPN with key components to enable the most secure, interoperable and complete IPSec solution in the market.

SSH ISAKMP/Oakley is a tailor made toolkit for adding automatic key management and authentication into IPSec based networking devices. It supports the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) which automatically authenticates the Access Point QVPN and clients connecting to it. It also negotiates the security policy and encryption keys in a secure manner. SSH ISAKMP/Oakley makes authentication secure, easy and hassle-free by supporting Public Key Infrastructure integration with X.509 digital certificates and by interoperating with the major Certificate Authority (CA) vendors.

IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) and IKE (Internet Key Exchange) are Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards for protecting IP traffic using cryptography on the packet level. They are totally transparent to the user making an ideal way of creating a company's virtual private network. IPSec technology marks the transition from early tunneling to fully-fledged Internet VPN services.
