IPSec VPN
1. Using IPSec VPN
What is IPSec?
IPSec is a set of IP extensions developed by IETF (Internet Engineering Task
Force) to provide security services compatible with the existing IP standard
(IPv.4) and also the upcoming one(IPv.6). In addition, IPSec can protect any
protocol that runs on top of IP, for instance TCP, UDP, and ICMP. IPSec is truly
the most extensible and complete network security solution.
IPSec which is based on modern cryptographic technologies enables end-to-end
security so that every single piece of information sent to or from a computer can
be secured. It can also be deployed inside a network to form Virtual Private
Networks (VPNs) where two distincts and disparate networks become one by
connecting them with a tunnel secured by IPSec.
Tunnel mode
IPSec in tunnel mode is normally used when the ultimate destination of the
packet is different from the security termination point. We introduce two tunnel
mode examples:
