Internet and Intranet Fundamentals Class 10 Session A
Topics • Review the Midterm Results • Security Wrapup: IPSEC
IPSEC • Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol • RFC 2401 • Access Control • Connectionless Integrity • Data Origin Authentication • Protection Against Replays • Confidentiality • Limited Traffic Flow Confidentiality
Objectives of RFC 2401 Achieved Through • Two Major Security Protocols • AH = Authentication Header • ESP = Encapsulating Security Payload • Cryptographic Key Management Procedures and Protocols • Algorithm independence
Security Policy Database (SPD) • Established / Maintained by User, Sys Admin, Application • Three Processing Modes for Packets • Afforded IPsec Security Services • Discarded • Allowed to Bypass IPsec Security Services
Security Gateway • Intermediate System Implementing IPsec Protocols • Paths Defined between • Hosts • Security Gateways • Hosts and Security Gateways
AH = Authentication Header • "IP Authentication Header", RFC 2402 • Connectionless Integrity • Data Origin Authentication • Anti-Replay
ESP = Encapsulating Security Payload • "IP Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)", RFC 2406 • Confidentiality (Encryption) • Limited Traffic Flow Confidentiality • Connectionless Integrity • Data Origin Authentication • Anti-Replay
AH / ESP Modes • Transport Mode • Protection for upper layer protocols • Tunnel Mode • Applied to tunneled packets • Tunnels can be • end-to-end between two security gateways, or • between individual TCP connections
AH / ESP Modes • Hosts MUST support both modes • Security Gateways need only support tunnel mode • May support transport mode, but only when acting as a host
Implementation • Native IP Implementation • Source code • Bump-in-the-Stack (BITS) • In between native IP and data link layer • Outboard Cryptoprocessor • Military • Bump-in-the-wire (BITW). • Supporting Router acts as security gateway, as single host == BITS
Security Association • Simplex connection affording security services to the traffic carried by it • Two way traffic will require two SAs. • Triple defines: • Security Parameter Index (SPI) • IP Destination Address • security protocol identifier (AH or ESP)
Security Association • Transport Mode Security Protocol Header Immediately After IP Header, but before high layer headers. • Outer and Inner IP headers
