13.3.9  Diffie-Hellman (DH) Key Groups
Diffie-Hellman (DH) is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two parties to establish a 
shared secret over an unsecured communications channel. Diffie-Hellman is used within IKE SA 
setup to establish session keys. Upon completion of the Diffie-Hellman exchange, the two peers 
have a shared secret, but the IKE SA is not authenticated. For authentication, use pre-shared keys.
