1: Introducing IPSec

1

IP protocol that drives the Internet is inherently insecure. Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), which is a standards‐based protocol, secures communications of IP packets over public networks.

Organizations are striving to protect their communication channels from unauthorized viewing and enforcing authenti‐ cation of the entities at the other side of the channel.

Unauthorized access to the sensitive data can be avoided by using IPSec. By applying security at the IP layer in the OSI model, communications can be protected. In this manner the upper layers in the OSI model can leverage the security services provided at the IP layer.

Sierra Wireless AirLink™ has added IPSec, as a latest addition to the list of features, in all the ALEOS‐powered AirLink X and XT platforms of devices.

Overview

IPSec is a common network layer security control and is used to create a virtual private network (VPN).

The advantages of the IPSec feature includes:

•Data Protection: Data Content Confidentiality allows users to protect their data from any unauthorized view, because the data is encrypted (encryption algorithms are used).

•Access Control: Access Control implies a security service that prevents unauthorized use of a Security Gateway, a network behind a gateway or bandwidth on that network.

•Data Origin Authentication: Data Origin Authentication verifies the actual sender, thus eliminating the possibility of forging the actual sender’s identification by a third‐ party.

•Data Integrity: Data Integrity Authentication allows both ends of the communication channel to confirm that the original data sent has been received as transmitted, without being tampered with in transit. This is achieved by using authentication algorithms and their outputs.

The IPSec architecture model includes the Sierra Wireless AirLink modem as a remote gateway at one end communi‐ cating, through a VPN tunnel, with a VPN gateway at the
