Overview at a glance

IPSecurity (IPSec)IPSecurity (IPSec)

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

TCP/IP protocol suite and IPSec

IP Security Scenario

Benefits of IPSec

Strong security that can be applied to all traffic crossing the perimeter.Transparent to applications. No need to change software on a user or server system,

-When IPSec is implemented in a router or firewall.IPSec can be transparent to end users. There is no need to train users on security mechanismsIPSec can provide security for individual used if needed.

Cryptographic algorithms

Cryptographic algorithms defined for use with IPsec include:

HMAC-SHA1 for integrity protectionTripleDES-CBC for confidentialityAES-CBC for confidentiality

.

Modes of IPSec

IPSec operates in one of two different modes.

Transport mode.Tunnel mode

TRANSPORT MODE VS TUNNEL MODE

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

IPSec in tunnel mode protects the original IP header.

Authentication Header (AH) Protocol & Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) Protocol

The Authentication Header (AH) Protocol provides source authentication and data integrity but not privacy.Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) provides confidentiality services (Must) and authentication services (optionally).ESP provides sources authentication, data integrity and privacy

Key Management

IPSec architecture support for two type of key management:

Manual: Particular for small, relatively static environments.

Automated: The use of this key in a large distributed system with an evolving configuration

Contd…

Oakley: Key Detemination Protocol: Three authentication methods can be used with Oakley:

-Digital signatures -Public-key encryption -Symmetric-key encryption

ISAKMP: Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol: -Defines procedures and packet formats to establish, negotiate, modify and delete security associations.

IPSec Services 

IPSec provided Services for:networking devices,

-such as a router or firewall Operates on the workstation or server.

-Workstation to Workstation Protection against data changes

-Accidental or Intentional Datagram’s Content can be hidden.

IPSec: Real Life Examples 

IPSec provides the capability to secure communications across a LAN, across private and public WANs, and across the Internet. Examples of its use include: Secure branch office connectivity over the Internet Secure remote access over the Internet Establishment of extranet and intranet connectivity with partners Enhancement of electronic commerce security Encrypt or authenticate all traffic at the IP level

Contd…

Using IPSec all distributed applications can be secured, -Remote logon, -client/server, -e-mail, -file transfer,

-Web access
