The Authentication Algorithms, HMAC-MD5 (RFC 2403) and HMAC-SHA-1
(RFC 2404), provide an authentication mechanism for the
AH
and
ESP
protocols.
The
ESP
and
AH
protocols are necessary to create a Security Association (SA),
the foundation of an IPSec VPN. An SA is built from the authentication provided
by the
AH
and
ESP
protocols. The primary function of key management is to
establish and maintain the SA between systems. After the SA is established, the
transport of data can commence.
AH (Authentication Header) protocol
AH
protocol (RFC 2402) was designed for integrity, authentication, sequence
integrity (replay resistance), and nonrepudiation but not for confidentiality, for
which the
ESP
was designed.
In applications where confidentiality is not required or not sanctioned by
government encryption restrictions, an
AH
can be employed to ensure integrity.
This type of implementation does not protect the information from dissemination
but can be used for verification of the integrity of the information and
authentication of the originator.
ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) protocol
The
ESP
protocol (RFC 2406) provides encryption, as well as the services offered
by
AH
.
ESP
authenticating properties are limited compared to the
AH
due to the
exclusion of the IP header information during the authentication process.
However,
ESP
is sufficient if only the upper layer protocols need to be
authenticated.
