Now, to be fair, when they developed these standards in the 1970s, security really wasn't much of an issue. Now, this has created a dilemma for cybersecurity professionals ever since. We have a set of protocols that were designed without security in mind and we now need to retrofit those protocols to add on security capabilities. The internet protocol security or IPsec framework is a set of protocols designed to add security capabilities to TCP/IP. Unlike TLS, IPsec reaches deep into the protocol stack and provides security for the entire payload of encrypted communications. IPsec uses two protocols to protect information. The encapsulating security payload or ESP protocol provides both confidentiality and integrity protection for the payloads of packets. The…
