  1. The roadwarrior <b>carol</b> sets up a connection to gateway <b>moon</b>.
  2. At the outset the gateway authenticates itself to the client by sending
  3. an IKEv2 <b>digital signature</b> accompanied by an X.509 certificate.
  4. <p/>
  5. Next <b>carol</b> uses the GSM <i>Subscriber Identity Module</i> (<b>EAP-SIM</b>)
  6. method of the <i>Extensible Authentication Protocol</i> to authenticate herself.
  7. In this scenario triplets from the file <b>/etc/ipsec.d/triplets.dat</b> are used
  8. instead of a physical SIM card.

  11. which also uses static triplets. In addition to her IKEv2 identity
  12. <b>carol@strongswan.org</b>, roadwarrior <b>carol</b> uses the EAP
  13. identity <b>228060123456001</b>.
