Folks, I was reading the article about IPSec and thought some of u might enlighten my doubts. As we know IETF had split the IPsec into 2 parts namely Ipsec and IKE.
1)Since IPsec(Ah or ESP)can provide all the Encryption,Authentication and intergrity,do we still need a IKE for creating Encrpytion tunnel? 2)Whats the use of IKE? Is it just used to create the key which Ipsec uses for Encryption or Authentication? Or does itself create the Encryption tunnel and authenticates?. 3)Who does the Encrption and Authentication? cheers Ramesh Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=28036&t=28036 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
