| | RFC 2401 (rfc2401) - Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol |
 | | NOTE: All of the cryptographic algorithms used in IPsec expect their input in canonical network byte order (see Appendix in RFC 791) and generate their output in canonical network byte order. | | | Do (1) and (2) for every IPsec header until a Transport Protocol Header or an IP header that is NOT for this system is encountered. | | | These costs are associated with the memory needed for IPsec code and data structures, and the computation of integrity check values, encryption and decryption, and added per-packet handling. |

| | An Illustrated Guide to IPsec |
| | IPsec's ESP protocol performs encryption of payload using one of several available algorithms, but a NULL encryption algorithm is typically made available for testing. | | | RFC 2410 — The NULL Encryption Algorithm and Its Use With IPsec | | | One cause of the complexity is that IPsec provides mechanism, not policy: rather than define such-and-such encryption algorithm or a certain authentication function, it provides a framework that allows an implementation to provide nearly anything that both ends agree upon. |

| | Using IPSec in Windows 2000 and XP, Part 1 |
| | When IPSec is implemented on a Windows computer, the user must first create a policy, which is the generic name for the big picture of how IPSec will work for this computer. | | | The design and integration of IPSec services and support in Windows 2000 was jointly developed by Microsoft and Cisco Systems, Inc. The agreement was made to integrate Cisco's ISAKMP/IKE with the IPSec kernel driver of Microsoft, and also involved developing IPSec policy for use with Active Directory. | | | IPSec in Windows was meant mainly for interaction with routers or other IPSec tunnel endpoints. |

| | Guide to Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) |
| | This guide is intended to cover only local computer IPSec policy that uses IPSec transport (not tunneling) to secure traffic between a source computer and a destination computer. | | | Transport mode filters apply to host packets that have a source address of the computer that is sending the packet, or a destination address of the computer that is receiving the packet. | | | The IPSec Rule editor allows you to build an ordered list of certificate authorities that your computer will send in a request to the peer computer during IKE negotiation. |

| | IPsec FAQ |
| | Tunnel mode can be used in situations where all traffic from a given leaf node is to be encrypted to the next-hop router, and unencrypted from there (for example, a wireless node to a router, because 802.11 WEP is inadequate). | | | Userland code includes IPsec support where possible, by default, so no rebuild of userland is necessary even if you switch between kernel with IPsec, and without IPsec. | | | It is VERY critical to set file permission properly, otherwise it worth nothing to use IPsec - it will do nothing other than wasting your CPU time (racoon will not read files with weak permissions). |

| | How to block specific network protocols and ports by using IPSec |
| | For systems that do not have a locally defined IPSec policy enabled, create a new local static policy to block traffic that is directed to a specific protocol and a specific port on Windows Server 2003-based and Windows XP based computers. | | | Internet Protocol security (IPSec) filtering rules can be used to help protect Windows 2000-based, Windows XP-based, and Windows Server 2003-based computers from network-based attacks from threats such as viruses and worms. | | | To create a new local IPSec policy and filtering rule that applies to network traffic from any IP address to the IP address of the Windows Server 2003-based or Windows XP-based computer that you are configuring, use the following command. |

| | Understanding IPSec |
| | IPSec is a bundle of protocols and algorithms and is a flexible framework that allows vendors who build it into their products to select the algorithms, keys, and authentication methods they want to use. | | | One should assume that two different implementations of IPSec are not necessarily the same as far as protocols and algorithms go. | | | Though I won't be discussing these protocols and algorithms in much detail in this article, I have noted them in the event that you may want to research these individual components of IPSec yourself. |

| | Windows 2000 Firewall |
| | The only sin Microsoft is guilty of in this regard is burying the IPSec system so very deep in the system, where in Windows 2000 it's nearly at the surface. | | | I must admit that after witnessing Windows XP's sorry excuse for Firewalling (this indeed is half-baked), I was heartened to see that Microsoft left the IPSec functionality alone while upgrading Windows. | | | Windows 2000 initially ships with all these nifty MMC extensions and snap-ins to make your life easier, and it's one of the most overlooked "cool features" that Microsoft never really hyped enough when they initially released Windows 2000. |

| | IPSec-Compliant VPN Solutions: Virtualizing Your Network |
| | While manual IPSec is possible, it means you must add and change keys to each device--an ineffective solution since keys can't be updated as often. | | | In fact, these seemingly competing VPN technologies serve different needs and can't be compared in a meaningful way on a per-product basis. | | | Of course, data leaving your LAN is subject to sniffing by unauthorized users, which is where IPSec devices come in to safeguard privacy. |
