Subject: Re: [FW-1] VPN/PSK length

That's a 2048 bit DH group, not a preshared key.

The PSK is hashed along with a nonce, using either MD5 (128 bit hash)
or SHA1 (160 bit hash).  So, the actual data that is compared is
either 128 or 160 bits.  The PSK itself is not limited by any facet if
the IKE standard, just by implementation, since it will always be
hashed up or down to 128 or 160 bits.

All that, and I'm afraid I don't know what the max PSK length
supported by NGX is.

Regards
Mark
