DSS is just an umbrella definition encompassing any kind of digital
signature based on public key cryptosystem. strongSwan's IKEv2
implementation currently supports RSA and ECDSA (via the openssl plugin)
and there are some hooks provided for DSA (which could also be
implemented using the openssl plugin).

Best regards
