32-1 IPSecurity (IPSec)


IPSecurity (IPSec) is a collection of protocols designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to provide security for a packet at the network level.

Topics discussed in this section:


Two Modes Two Security Protocols Security Association Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Virtual Private Network

32.4

Figure 32.3 Transport mode and tunnel modes of IPSec protocol

32.5

Note

IPSec in the transport mode does not protect the IP header; it only protects the information coming from the transport layer.

32.6

32.7

Figure 32.5 Tunnel mode in action

32.8

Note

IPSec in tunnel mode protects the original IP header.

32.9

32.10

Note

The AH Protocol provides source authentication and data integrity, but not privacy.

Note

ESP provides source authentication, data integrity, and privacy.

32-2 SSL/TLS
Two protocols are dominant today for providing security at the transport layer: the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Protocol and the Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol. The latter is actually an IETF version of the former.
Topics discussed in this section:

Note

The client and the server have six different cryptography secrets.

32-3 PGP
One of the protocols to provide security at the application layer is Pretty Good Privacy (PGP). PGP is designed to create authenticated and confidential e-mails.

Topics discussed in this section:


Security Parameters Services A Scenario PGP Algorithms Key Rings PGP Certificates
32.32

32.33

Note

In PGP, the sender of the message needs to include the identifiers of the algorithms used in the message as well as the values of the keys.

Note

In PGP, there can be multiple paths from fully or partially trusted authorities to any subject.

32.38

32-4 FIREWALLS
All previous security measures cannot prevent Eve from sending a harmful message to a system. To control access to a system, we need firewalls. A firewall is a device installed between the internal network of an organization and the rest of the Internet. It is designed to forward some packets and filter (not forward) others. Topics discussed in this section:
Packet-Filter Firewall Proxy Firewall
