General Information

IPSec

 

IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a security protocol that uses an optional Internet Protocol function to

 

prevent manipulation and ensure the confidentiality of data transmitted as IP packets. IPsec encrypts data

 

carried over the network, such as print data sent from computers to a printer. Because the data is encrypted

 

at the network layer, applications that use a higher-level protocol use IPsec even if the user is not aware of

 

its use.
