In all the vendor documentation I find, examples for setting up IPSec tunnels use some of the worst encryption possible.
This is documenting better alternatives between vendors (not necessarily ideal, but the idea is to provide the best solution given the options).
This is an example of a tunnel between a Juniper SRX and Cisco ASA using
- AES256 CBC (Debatable whether AES-CBC is better than AES-GCM, but GCM is easier on your CPU)
- SHA1 (SHA256 would be better)
- PFS Group 5 (Group 19 would be better)
