
Distributed with Web Browser ..etc

SSL/TLS web pages
IPSEC

Why IPSec?

Open Standard Freely Available

Modular

Integrates in Existing IP structure

Transparent to application layer entities

For IPv6
SECURITY ARCHITECTURE
MODES

Transport Mode
Payload Encrypted
 IP header is Intact
 Routing is Intact


Tunnel Mode
New IP packet
 New Routing
 NW-NW Communication (tunnel)

IPSEC PACKET
NETWORK MODEL
IP TUNNEL
PERFORMANCE

SECURITY
PROBLEMS

Latency Increases

Overhead Increases

Throughput Decreases

Complexity Increases
CONCLUSION

Ad-hoc Network uses various security methods

Do not violate existing protocol

IPSec is a new approach to secure IPv4 and IPv6
packets

Better approach can be used than IPSec
