Security Association (SA). This will be the remote host’s Incoming SPI.
The SPI should be a string of hexadecimal [0-9,A-F] characters, and should not be used in any
other Security Association.
Tip: For simplicity (or troubleshooting), the Incoming and Outgoing SPI can be identical.

a. Null - Fastest, but no security.
b. DES - Faster but less secure than 3DES.
