The term IPsec (IP Security Protocol) refers to a security protocol, defined at the IETF, which aims at protecting the exchanges at the IP layer. Among the various security services offered by this system are the guarantee of authenticity and confidentiality of data. Those services are based on cryptographic mecanisms which guarantee a high security level when they are used with strong algorithms. As the protection is enforced at the IP layer, IPsec can be used in numerous situations: it can offer protection to all the applications using the network (without any need to modify them), protect the access to a given network by acting as an advanced firewall, be used to build virtual private networks (VPN), protect remote accesses to an intranet...
