IP Security protocol (IPSec)
A protocol in development by the IETF to support secure data exchange. Once completed, IPSec is expected to be widely deployed to implement virtual private networks (VPNs). IPSec supports two encryption modes: Transport and Tunnel. Transport mode encrypts the data portion (payload) of each packet but leaves the header untouched. Tunnel mode is more secure because it encrypts both the header and the payload. On the receiving side, an IPSeccompliant device decrypts each packet.
Similar items:
A mode of IPSec when used in a VPN. In tunnel mode, the entire IP packet is encrypted and a new header is added to the packet to govern transmission through the tunnel. An IPSec protocol used with ESP in which the header and contents of an IP packet are encrypted and encapsulated prior to transmission, and a new IP header is added.

A mode of IPSec when used in a VPN. In transport mode, the IP packet data is encrypted but the header of the packet is not. An IPSec protocol used with ESP or Alt in which the ESP or Alt header is inserted between the IP header and the upperlayer protocol of an IP packet.

A network connection established between two systems over an existing private or public network. A VPN provides confidentiality and integrity for network traffic through the use of encryption. A secure private network that uses the public telecommunications infrastructure to transmit data. In contrast to a much more expensive system of owned or leased lines that can only be used by one company, VPNs are used by enterprises for both extranets and wide are intranets. Using encryption and authentication, a VPN encrypts all data that passes between two Internet points, maintaining privacy and security. Protected information system link utilizing tunneling, security controls (. See information assurance), and endpoint address translation giving the impression of a dedicated line.

An encryption technique that protects entire communications circuits by creating a secure tunnel between two points. This is done by using either a hardware or software solution that encrypts all traffic entering one end of the tunnel and decrypts all traffic exiting the other end of the tunnel. Encryption of information between nodes of a communications system. The application of online cryptooperations to a link of a communications system so that all information passing over the link is encrypted in its entirety.

Internet Protocol SecurityThe security architecture for IP; developed by the IETF to support reliable and secure datagram exchange at the IP layer. The IPSec architecture specifies AH, ESP, Internet Key Exchange (IKE), and Internet Security Association Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP), among other things.
