  • Abstract
    In this paper, we analyze the security of IPsec against a class of attacks known as the IV attacks, which are based on modifying the initialization vector (IV) of a CBC-encrypted packet during transmission. We show that IV attacks can be a serious threat for IPsec if IPsec is not used carefully. We also discuss the defense methods against these attacks
