If I remember correctly, IKE is the process for excanging the secret keys
over a public line.

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
