What does IPsec stand for?
Internet Protocol Security
True or False: IPsec operates at the transport layer of the OSI model.
False
What are the two main modes of operation in IPsec?
Transport mode and Tunnel mode
In which IPsec mode is only the payload of the IP packet encrypted?
Transport mode
In Tunnel mode, what does IPsec encrypt?
The entire original IP packet
Fill in the blank: In Tunnel mode, a new IP header is added to the packet, which is known as the ________ header.
outer
Which IPsec mode is commonly used for VPN connections?
Tunnel mode
True or False: Transport mode is typically used for end-to-end communication between two hosts.
True
What is the primary purpose of IPsec?
To secure IP communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet
Which protocol in IPsec is responsible for establishing a secure connection?
Internet Key Exchange (IKE)
What is the default mode of IPsec when no mode is specified?
Tunnel mode
In which IPsec mode is the original IP header visible to intermediate routers?
Transport mode
True or False: IPsec can provide confidentiality, integrity, and authentication.
True
What type of encryption is commonly used in IPsec?
Symmetric encryption
What is the role of the AH protocol in IPsec?
To provide integrity and authentication for IP packets
What does ESP stand for in the context of IPsec?
Encapsulating Security Payload
Fill in the blank: The ________ mode is preferred for site-to-site VPNs.
Tunnel
Which IPsec mode would you use for securing communications between two applications on the same host?
Transport mode
True or False: IPsec can only be used with IPv4.
False
What is one key advantage of using Tunnel mode?
It can secure traffic between networks over untrusted networks.
What type of authentication does the AH protocol provide?
Connectionless integrity and data origin authentication
True or False: The ESP protocol provides encryption and optional authentication.
True
What is a key difference between AH and ESP?
AH provides only integrity and authentication, while ESP provides confidentiality, integrity, and authentication.
