1 IPSec: Concept for secure IP connections
Policies The introduction of network security mainly involves the application of traffic policies. Firstly, the policies need to be defined, then it should be whether the policies are correctly applied.
Security policies can apply to various levels. The IPSec protocol (Internet Protocol Security) applies to the IP layer. This location of the IPSec protocol within the layered network model makes it a generic solution for a wide range of applications.
Types of policies supported in the IPSec protocol:
user/entity authentication
level of encryption
validity time of the keys
...
The Target of IPSec The main goals for using the IPSec protocol suite are:
Integrity of data
It ensures that data has not been modified in transit.
Confidentiality of data
On
User authentication
Ensures that you know the party you are communicating with, and that they are who they say they are.
