    4 . P R O T O C O L S & E N C R Y P T I O N S PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a protocol for communication between two computers using a serial interface, typically a personal computer connected by phone line to a server.

  • Page 17: Dhcp (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

    DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a communication protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's network. Using the Internet Protocol, each machine that connects to the Internet needs a unique IP address, which is assigned when an Internet connection is created for a specific computer.

  • Page 20: Ike

    Internet Key Exchange (IKE or IKEv2) is the protocol used to set up a security association (SA) in the IPSec protocol suite. IKE uses a Diffie-Hellman key exchange to set up a shared session secret, from which cryptographic keys are derived. Public key techniques or, alternatively, a pre-shared key, are used to mutually authenticate the communicating parties.

  • Page 21: Esm

    4.11 Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) is a member of the IPSec protocol suite. In IPSec, it provides origin authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality protection of packets. ESP also supports encryption-only and authentication-only configurations, but using encryption without authentication is strongly discouraged because it is insecure. Unlike Authentication Header (AH), ESP does not protect the IP packet header.
