IPSec 2
IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a security
protocol that uses an optional Internet
Protocol function to prevent manipulation and
ensure the confidentiality of data transmitted
as IP packets. IPsec encrypts data carried
over the network, such as print jobs sent from
computers to a printer. Because the data is
encrypted at the network layer, applications
that use a higher-level protocol use IPsec
even if the user is not aware of its use.
IPsec supports the following operations:
IPsec transmissions
IPsec settings
For more information about IPsec,
see Software and Network User's Guide.
