Overview:
IP Security is used to transfer
data securely over unprotected
networks like Internet.

Services:

Connectionless integrity
Data origin authentication
Confidentiality (Encryption)
Access control

IPSecurity Protocols:
Authentication Header (AH)
Encapsulating Security
Payload (ESP)

Processing Types:
Outbound IP Processing.
Inbound IP Processing

Modes:
Tunnel Mode

Transport Mode

Benefits:
Operates at the network
layer
An Internet standard
Extensible hash and
encryption algorithms

Limitations:
Complex Configuration
Performance / Processing
Overhead
NAT incompatibilities

Current areas of research:

Stronger encryption and authentication algorithms.
Better Public Key Infrastructure to make it simple, less
complex and easy to manage and more secure.
Security with non IP protocols like Fiber channel.
