Suite-B Encryption RFC6379 - Suite-B-GCM-128 / Suite-B-GCM-256

Does anyone have experience configuring IPSec to match the Suite B Cryptographic Suites for IPSec per RFC 6379?

If so what are your experiences compared to the built in AES-128 / AES-256 policies? Were performance issues noted, any connection problems?

RFC 6379 - Suite B Cryptographic Suites for IPsec

3.1.  Suite "Suite-B-GCM-128"

   This suite provides ESP integrity protection and confidentiality
   using 128-bit AES-GCM (see [RFC4106]).  This suite or the following
   suite should be used when ESP integrity protection and encryption are
   both needed.

   ESP:
     Encryption     AES with 128-bit keys and 16-octet Integrity
                      Check Value (ICV) in GCM mode [RFC4106]
     Integrity      NULL

   IKEv2:
     Encryption                   AES with 128-bit keys in CBC mode
                                    [RFC3602]
     Pseudo-random function       HMAC-SHA-256 [RFC4868]
     Integrity                    HMAC-SHA-256-128 [RFC4868]
     Diffie-Hellman group         256-bit random ECP group [RFC5903]

3.2.  Suite "Suite-B-GCM-256"

   This suite provides ESP integrity protection and confidentiality
   using 256-bit AES-GCM (see [RFC4106]).  This suite or the preceding
   suite should be used when ESP integrity protection and encryption are
   both needed.

   ESP:
     Encryption     AES with 256-bit keys and 16-octet ICV in GCM mode
                      [RFC4106]
     Integrity      NULL

   IKEv2:
     Encryption                   AES with 256-bit keys in CBC mode
                                    [RFC3602]
     Pseudo-random function       HMAC-SHA-384 [RFC4868]
     Integrity                    HMAC-SHA-384-192 [RFC4868]
     Diffie-Hellman group         384-bit random ECP group [RFC5903]

  • Thomas, the UTM can't do a Suite-B tunnel because IKE DH Group 20 is not available.
