1. FIPS inside

The IPsec Client incorporates cryptographic algorithms conformant to the FIPS standard. The embedded cryptographic module incorporating these algorithms has been validated as conformant to FIPS 140-2 (certificate #1051).

FIPS conformance will always be maintained when any of the following algorithms are used for establishment and encryption of the IPsec connection:
- Diffie Hellman Group: Group 2 or higher (DH starting from a length of 1024 Bit)
- Hash Algorithms: SHA1, SHA 256, SHA 384, or SHA 512 Bit
- Encryption Algorithms: AES with 128, 192 or 256 Bit or Triple DES

2. Support of JunOS based Juniper Hardware

Additionally to ScreenOS the JunOS based Juniper Hardware is supported.

3. Bugfix

On Windows 7, data could not be transferred over a VPN tunnel when the supporting Internet connection was via a UMTS / Mobile Broadband link not established by the NCP Entry Client. This problem has been resolved.
