IPsec Tunneling Protocol

An IPsec Tunneling Protocol is a tunneling protocol that provides encrypted tunnel communication.

• AKA: IPsec Tunnel, Internet Protocol Security Tunnel, IPsec VPN Protocol.
• Context:
  • It can typically provide IPsec Tunneling Authentication through ipsec tunneling authentication headers.
  • It can typically enable IPsec Tunneling Encryption through ipsec tunneling encapsulating security payloads.
  • It can typically support IPsec Tunneling Key Exchange through ipsec tunneling ike protocols.
  • It can typically implement IPsec Tunneling Integrity through ipsec tunneling hash functions.
  • It can typically facilitate IPsec Tunneling Confidentiality through ipsec tunneling cipher suites.
  • ...
  • It can often deliver IPsec Tunneling Mode through ipsec tunneling transport mode or ipsec tunneling tunnel mode.
  • It can often provide IPsec Tunneling NAT Traversal through ipsec tunneling nat-t mechanisms.
  • It can often enable IPsec Tunneling Perfect Forward Secrecy through ipsec tunneling pfs negotiation.
  • It can often support IPsec Tunneling Dead Peer Detection through ipsec tunneling dpd mechanisms.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Site-to-Site IPsec Tunneling Protocol to being a Client-to-Site IPsec Tunneling Protocol, depending on its ipsec tunneling connection type.
  • It can range from being a Policy-Based IPsec Tunneling Protocol to being a Route-Based IPsec Tunneling Protocol, depending on its ipsec tunneling traffic selection.
  • It can range from being a IKEv1 IPsec Tunneling Protocol to being an IKEv2 IPsec Tunneling Protocol, depending on its ipsec tunneling key exchange version.
  • It can range from being a Basic IPsec Tunneling Protocol to being an Advanced IPsec Tunneling Protocol, depending on its ipsec tunneling feature complexity.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with IPsec Tunneling Gateway for ipsec tunneling termination.
  • It can connect to IPsec Tunneling Firewall for ipsec tunneling traffic filtering.
  • It can interface with IPsec Tunneling Router for ipsec tunneling packet routing.
  • It can communicate with IPsec Tunneling Management System for ipsec tunneling configuration.
  • It can synchronize with IPsec Tunneling Monitoring System for ipsec tunneling performance tracking.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Cloud IPsec Tunneling Protocol Implementations, such as:
    • AWS Site-to-Site VPN using ipsec tunneling aws connections.
    • Azure VPN Gateway with ipsec tunneling azure networks.
    • Google Cloud VPN providing ipsec tunneling gcp connectivity.
    • Ubicloud IPsec Implementation for ipsec tunneling private networks.
  • Open Source IPsec Tunneling Protocol Implementations, such as:
    • strongSwan for ipsec tunneling linux platforms.
    • OpenSwan for ipsec tunneling open source vpns.
    • LibreSwan for ipsec tunneling free implementations.
    • WireGuard as ipsec tunneling modern alternative.
  • Enterprise IPsec Tunneling Protocol Solutions, such as:
    • Cisco IPsec VPN for ipsec tunneling cisco devices.
    • Fortinet IPsec VPN for ipsec tunneling fortigate firewalls.
    • Palo Alto IPsec VPN for ipsec tunneling enterprise security.
  • IPsec Tunneling Protocol Modes, such as:
    • IPsec Transport Mode for ipsec tunneling end-to-end encryption.
    • IPsec Tunnel Mode for ipsec tunneling gateway-to-gateway encryption.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • SSL/TLS VPN, which uses application layer encryption rather than ipsec tunneling network layer.
  • PPTP, which provides weaker encryption than ipsec tunneling protocol security.
  • Unencrypted Tunnels, which lack encryption of ipsec tunneling protocols.
