10.1.1. IPSec
IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) 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 hosts (host-to-host), between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), or
between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host).
