Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IP Security Protocol (IPSec) is a protocol suite designed to provide security to IP communication at the network layer. It works between IP at the network layer and TCP/UDP at the transport layer to encrypt and authenticate data packets. It is not focused on web applications or primarily used for encrypting e-mails. IPSec also does not make public key encryption work on the internet, but it does provide mechanisms for encryption using different algorithms and keys. Entapment mode is not a valid term associated with IPSec.
