26.4.4. DNP3 Secure Authentication Sub-Tabs
The ASE2000 V2 supports DNP3 Secure Authentication Version 2 (SAv2) and Version 5 (SAv5)

Secure Authentication can be enabled for all tasks in both Master and RTU simulation modes.
Messages can then be protected with Challenge or Aggressive Mode challenges.

See implementation notes on SAv5 for additional technical details.
A few additional tasks, such as Session Key Exchange, are provided to support specific Secure
Authentication functions.
In Exchange Mode, only Secure Authentication message parsing is supported, allowing
messages with Secure Authentication functions and objects to be displayed.
