IPSec Fundamentals Quiz

Some security issues in IP that IPSec aims to address include source spoofing, replay attacks, lack of data integrity or confidentiality, DOS attacks, replay attacks, spying, and more.

The goals of IPSec are to verify sources of IP packets, provide authentication to prevent replaying of old packets, and to protect the integrity and/or confidentiality of packets through data integrity and data encryption.

The IPSec Architecture is composed of ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload), AH (Authentication Header), IPSec Security Policy, and IKE (Internet Key Exchange).

<p>The purpose of Internet Key Exchange (IKE) in IPSec is to negotiate and establish security associations, which includes the exchange of authentication and encryption keys between the communicating parties.</p> Signup and view all the answers
