IP SEC is a protocol suite for securing internet

protocol communications by authenticating and encrypting ,each IP packet of a communication session. IP SEC also includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginnings of the sessions and negotiations of cryptograhic keys to be used during the session.

The IP SEC suite is an open standard. IP SEC

uses the following protocols to perform various functions . Authentication header Encapsulation Security Payloads. Security Association. The internet security association and key management protocol

Authentication header is a member of the IP SEC

Protocol suite .AH guarantees connectionless integrity and data origin authentication of IP packets. Further ,it can optionally protects against replay attacks by using the sliding window technique and discarding old packets.

Encapsulating security payloads provides

confidentiality, data origin authentication, connectionless integrity , and anti-replay service (a form of partial sequence integrity), and limited traffic flow confidentiality.

The IP SEC architecture uses the concepts of

security association as the basis for building security functions into IP. A security association is simply the bundle of algorithms and parameters (such as keys) ie being used to encrypt and authenticate a particular flow in one direction.

ISAKMP is implemented by manual configuration

with pre-shared secrets , and it provides a framework for authentication and key exchange with actual authenticated keying material which is either provided by internet key exchange or by manual configuration .

IP SEC can be implemented in a host- to- host

transport mode as well as in a network tunnel mode .

IP SEC is a protocol suite for securing Internet

Protocols by communications by authenticating and encrypting and it also used in protecting data flows between a pair of host and between a pair of security gateway. IP SEC is officially specified by engineering task force in a series of documents addressing various components and extensions
