While talking about vpn, is there *any* chance to reanimate the
orphaned (since 2001(?)) bridging code in OS X?
(allowing to do have vpn with layer 2 briding, e.g. with openvpn).

Kind regards

I have "encryption tokens" stored on removable USB devices on both ends of a connection and I'm using AES-256 encryption. The easiest approach would be to somehow use the token as pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication of a TLS session using GnuTLS.

Other than that, I just need to use the my security tokens to encrypt the connection and I have no prior familiarity with the infrastructure available for my scenario on the Mac. This is why I'm asking the list :-).

What do you suggest?

	Thanks, Joel
