IP Security (IPsec) Technology Primer
IPsec is a suite of protocols providing security services for data communications over public IP networks, and is an enabling technology for widespread deployment of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). IPsec provides data confidentiality, data authentication and data integrity services between peering devices - protecting IP traffic between pairs of hosts, pairs of security gateways, or between hosts and security gateways. This paper describes the fundamental concepts and processes used within the IPsec protocol framework.

 

Validating IPsec Network Security Devices
Manufacturers are developing IPsec-capable routers and integrated security gateways that combine IPsec VPN concentration with network security and content switching features. It is no longer adequate to test IPsec in isolation; layer 4-7 capabilities must be tested together with IPsec to fully stress these devices in a realistic manner. In this paper, we discuss the hottest IPsec test issues and show you how to characterize the performance of the latest security devices using a mix of real application traffic over IPsec tunnels. You will see some typical test results and learn how to accurately gauge performance from the perspective of the end user’s experience.
