Internet Protocol Security as the Network Cryptography System

Abstract

Internet Protocol Security (IP Security) is a security protocol that serves to secure information in the event of an exchange on the internet. It happens if there is a connection between private IP and public IP. This protocol will exchange packets on the IP layer safely. It provides two types of encryption options, transport, and tunnel. Transport mode will encrypt the data section without changing the packet header. The algorithm used to encrypt data is a symmetric cryptography algorithm. This protocol authenticates and encrypts every packet from a data transmission session. Also, it can generate keys between the sender and the recipient at the first time it is activated and can negotiate the cryptographic keys that will be used during the session. IP Security is an end-to-end cryptosystem that works at the internet layer of the Internet Protocol Suite. The protocol serves to protect the data flow in host-to-host, network-to-network, and network-to-host as well.
