IPSec Architecture & Traffic Processing

This document presents the document roadmap for IPSec, as well as a host-to-host architectural model, followed by a sequence of slides illustrating IPSec traffic processing related to this model.

IPSec Modes & Protocols

This document illustrates, as a synopsis, the IPSec encapsulation of secured IP packets according to IPSec protocol (AH or ESP) and mode (Transport or Tunnel).

ISAKMP & IKE Formats

This document illustrates IKE message formats. These formats result from ISAKMP framework definition (RFC 2408) refined by IPSec DOI (domain of interpretation, defined in RFC 2407) for phase 2 attributes, and finally appendix A of RFC 2409 (IKE) for phase 1 attributes. Color codes are used consistently throughout this document for relevant information sources.

IKE Exchanges (Phase 1 & Phase 2)

This document shows detailed time diagrams for Phase 1 and Phase 2 IKE exchanges.

Phase 1 is where two IKE peers establish the ISAKMP Security Association, a secure and authenticated channel. The four authentication methods defined in RFC2409 are illustrated, in "Main" mode only.

Phase 2 is where Security Associations are negotiated on behalf of IPSec. The "Quick" mode exchanges are detailed with and without PFS (perfect forward secrecy) service.

IKEv2 Formats

This document illustrates IKEv2 message formats as defined in RFC4306 -- Internet Key Exchange (IKEv2) Protocol.

This version of the IKE specification combines the contents of what were previously separate documents, including ISAKMP (RFC 2408), IKE (RFC 2409), the Internet DOI (RFC 2407), NAT Traversal, Legacy authentication, and remote address acquisition.

Version 2 of IKE does not interoperate with version 1, but it has enough of the header format in common that both versions can unambiguously run over the same UDP port.
