IPSec
Internet Protocol Security
(
IPSec
) 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 security gateways (
network-to-network
), or
between a security gateway and a host (
network-to-host
).
A total of 8 IPSec tunnels can be added.
