2.3 Authentication Attribute
What is ...
Two main methods for authentication are supported in the SpeedTouch™:
pre-shared key
certificates
The authentication parameters used for the IKE negotiations are bundled in the 
SpeedTouch™ in a descriptor with a symbolic name. 
This symbolic descriptor is called the Authentication Attribute, and is encountered 
when you configure the SpeedTouch™ via the Command Line Interface.
For pre-shared key authentication, this attribute holds the pre-shared key. For 
authentication with certificates it simply indicates the authentication method.
