  RFC 2410 (rfc2410) - The NULL Encryption Algorithm and Its Use With IPsec
Algorithm Definition NULL is defined mathematically by the use of the Identity function I applied to a block of data b such that: NULL(b) = I(b) = b 2.1 Keying Material Like other modern ciphers, e.g., RC5 [RFC-2040], the NULL encryption algorithm can make use of keys of varying lengths.
Performance The NULL encryption algorithm is significantly faster than other commonly used symmetric encryption algorithms and implementations of the base algorithm are available for all commonly used hardware and OS platforms.
As stated in [ESP], while the use of encryption algorithms and authentication algorithms are optional in ESP, it is imperative that an ESP SA specifies the use of at least one cryptographically strong encryption algorithm or one cryptographically strong authentication algorithm or one of each.

 Choosing encryption algorithm   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In case you are wondering why some encryption applications use 2048-bit or even larger keys, those applications use asymmetric (also called public key) encryption algorithms while Sentry is using symmetric encryption algorithms.

Due to the difference in mathematics, for a symmetric algorithm size of the key considered unbreakable is 128-bit, while for an asymmetric algorithm it is usually much higher.
