# ipsecPSK

Derive a shared secret to bootstrap IPSec, using the resulting shared secret as the IPSec Pre-Shared Key.

```
static let ipsecPSK: WASharedSecret.ProtocolName
```

## Discussion

Best practices for IPSec security are described in [NIST Special Publication 800-77](https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/sp/800/77/r1/final). IKEv2 and IPSec-v3 are recommended.

Specifying this value will use the “`IPSec-PSK`” string as the protocol name when deriving the shared secret.
