Configuring IPsec

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a suite of protocols that enables secure network services on IP packet-switched networks. IPsec is a standard (RFC 2401-2412) that has been developed under the supervision of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) organization to allowauthentication, integrity, access control, and confidentiality on network services.That being said, the authentication is achieved using the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol, integrity is achieved using hashing algorithms, and confidentiality is achieved using encryption. Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulation Security Protocol (ESP) are protocols that are utilized by IPsec. These features, and many more, enable IPsec todefine how a VPN can be secured across all IP networks.
