Does the firewall/VPN series support higher signature algorithm (sha-256) than sha1?
Hello,
As SHA1 is marked insecure by our security team, I'd like to know if the latest firmwares for IPSEC and SSL VPN support higher signature algorithm (ie: sha-256, sha-384, sha-512)?
Regards,
Pascal

Hello zerealfox,
Welcome to the community!
I have checked our datasheets and firmwares and it appears that sha-256 is currently not supported yet on our units. You can post a request on our Idea Exchange Board and give the post a kudos(like), the more kudos the request gets the more it is likely to be implemented.
Thanks,
Which router and firmware?
Most current ProSafe routers support IPSec SHA2-256 and SHA2-512, as well as SHA-1 and MD5, neither of which I recommend using.
SSL is certificate based so there are no settings for the Authentication algorithm.
Encryption alogritms supported are DES/3DES/AES-128(not recommended) and AES-256.
