IPSec (Internet Protocol Security)

From NENA Knowledge Base

IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is the next-generation network layer crypto platform which can be found on routers, firewalls, and client desktops, particularly in virtual private networks. It is a framework for a set of security protocols at the network or packet processing layer of network communication. IPSec provides two choices of security service: Authentication Header (AH), which essentially allows authentication of the sender of data, and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP), which supports both authentication of the sender and encryption of data as well.
