Abstract :
The IETF has advanced the IPsec protocols to draft standard status. These protocols include mechanisms for the establishment of a secure channel, via cryptographic key exchange, over an insecure medium. Such a channel can then be used for ensuring the confidentiality, authentication, and/or integrity of the communications between two parties. We explain the algorithms and protocols of IPsec´s Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and discuss the types of security that the various IKE modes provide
