Abstract

In this article, we provide an overview of cryptography and cryptographic key management as they are specified in IPsec, a popular suite of standards for providing communications security and network access control for Internet communications. We focus on the latest generation of the IPsec standards, recently published as Request for Comments 4301-4309 by the Internet Engineering Task Force, and how they have evolved from earlier versions of the standards.
