    IP Security

    IPSec is a network security protocol that authenticates and encrypts data packets sent over an IP network. It provides confidentiality, authentication, and integrity. IPSec uses two main protocols: ESP and AH. ESP provides confidentiality by encrypting payloads. AH provides authentication and integrity by validating packet contents. IPSec architecture includes these protocols, algorithms for encryption and authentication, identifiers for domains of interpretation, and key management for secure exchange of keys.

    What Is IP Security (IPSec)?

    IPSec is a security protocol which is used to provide security at the network layer of the networking
    system. IPSec authenticates and encrypts the data packets over an IP network.

    Features of IPSec

     It guards the overall data packet produced at the IP layer inclusive of the higher layer
    headers.

     IPSec works in between two different networks, therefore, adoption of security features is
    easier to implement without making any changes in the running applications.

     Provisions host-based security as well.

     The most frequent task of IPSec is to secure VPN network (a virtual private network)
    between two different network entities.

    IPSec Architecture
    IPSec (IP Security) architecture uses two protocols to secure the traffic or data flow. These protocols
    are ESP (Encapsulation Security Payload) and AH (Authentication Header). IPSec Architecture include
    protocols, algorithms, DOI, and Key Management. All these components are very important in order
    to provide the three main services:

     Confidentiality

     Authentication

     Integirity

    IP Security Architecture:
    1. Architecture:
    Architecture or IP Security Architecture covers the general concepts, definitions, protocols,
    algorithms and security requirements of IP Security technology.

    2. ESP Protocol:
    ESP(Encapsulation Security Payload) provide the confidentiality service. Encapsulation Security
    Payload is implemented in either two ways:

     ESP with optional Authentication.

     ESP with Authentication.

    Packet Format:

     Security Parameter Index(SPI):


    This parameter is used in Security Association. It is used to give a unique number to the
    connection build between Client and Server.

     Sequence Number:
    Unique Sequence number are allotted to every packet so that at the receiver side packets
    can be arranged properly.

     Payload Data:
    Payload data means the actual data or the actual message. The Payload data is in encrypted
    format to achieve confidentiality.

     Padding:
    Extra bits or space added to the original message in order to ensure confidentiality. Padding
    length is the size of the added bits or space in the original message

     Next Header:
    Next header means the next payload or next actual data.

     Authentication Data
    This field is optional in ESP protocol packet format.
    3. Encryption algorithm:
     Encryption algorithm is the document that describes various encryption algorithm used for
    Encapsulation Security Payload.

    4. AH Protocol:
     AH (Authentication Header) Protocol provides both Authentication and Integrity service.
    Authentication Header is implemented in one way only: Authentication along with Integrity.

    Authentication Header covers the packet format and general issue related to the use of AH for
    packet authentication and integrity.

    5. Authentication Algorithm:
    Authentication Algorithm contains the set of the documents that describe authentication algorithm
    used for AH and for the authentication option of ESP.

    6. DOI (Domain of Interpretation):


    DOI is the identifier which support both AH and ESP protocols. It contains values needed for
    documentation related to each other.

    7. Key Management:
    Key Management contains the document that describes how the keys are exchanged between
    sender and receiver.
