h1. IKEv1 Cipher Suites
The keywords listed below can be used with the _ike_ and _esp_ directives in [[ipsec.conf]] or the _proposals_ settings in [[swanctl.conf]] to define cipher suites.
IANA provides lists of algorithm identifiers for "IKEv1":http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipsec-registry/ipsec-registry.xhtml and "IPsec":https://www.iana.org/assignments/isakmp-registry.
