HP-UX IPSec Overview

HP-UX IPSec Topologies

Gateway-to-Gateway Topology

Two hosts each reside upon insecure networks (such as insecure intranets). These hosts need to communicate securely over an insecure public network (such as the Internet). HP-UX IPSec can be used over a tunnel between two (non-HP) IPSec gateways to provide additional end-to-end security.
