Question
Does IPsec in Windows XP Sp3 support AES-256 encryption?
Update:
- Windows IPsec FAQ says that it's not supported in Windows XP, but maybe they changed it in Service Pack 3?

Question: Is Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption supported?
- origamigumby, please specify where, because I cannot find it.
Solution
I'm using Windows XP SP3. When I add a new IPsec filter rule, the only options for ESP I get are DES and 3DES, so the FAQ is correct - there is no support for AES prior to Windows Vista.

It is not supported prior to Vista.
