Overview

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 will describe the fundamental concepts and processes used within the IPsec protocol framework.
