Authentication Key Generation
The SSH Sentinel Installation Wizard generates a primary authentication key for IPSec
peer (host) authentication purposes. The primary authentication key is a 1024-bit RSA
key pair that is used for digital signatures and strong authentication.
Authentication key generation begins with random seed generation. A random pool of
data is collected from the user moving the mouse or typing in random text. The data is
then used as a seed to ensure that all authentication keys will be unique. With this
method, the likelihood of generating two identical authentication keys is infinitesimal.
The general level of security that can be provided with 1024-bit RSA authentication
keys is considered military strength. The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol used in
key negotiation is better by design and security than most of the other solutions that
currently exist.
The SSH Sentinel key generation process will take some 30 seconds and may
momentarily use most of the computer’s CPU resources.
