Hi Folks,

What is the definition of symmetric and asymmetric authentication in the
context of Libreswan?

If both ends are using the same mode of authentication for example, both
use PSK or both use X.509 certificate-based authentication, are they
considered symmetric authentication?

Thanks,
Balaji
