IPSec
IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is a protocol suite for securing Internet
Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of
a communication session.
IPSec also includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between
agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to
be used during the session.
IPSec is an end-to-end security scheme operating in the Internet Layer of the
Internet Protocol Suite. It can be used in protecting data flows between a pair of
hosts (host-to-host), between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network),
or between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host).
