ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_PROCESS_ERR_SIG

ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_PROCESS_ERR_SIG means the signature payload in the IKE exchange could not be parsed or used. This differs from a simple signature-verification failure because the payload itself may be malformed or unsupported.

What to check

  • Check the peer certificate, signature algorithm and IKE version in the packet capture.
  • Compare supported cryptographic algorithms with the effective policy.
  • Review related certificate payload and invalid-signature events for the same SA.
