(a) the IETF working society which is specifying a security architecture (RFC 2401) and protocols in order to provide services of security for Internet Protocol traffic. (b) a collective name for that architecture and set of protocols, specifying security protocols (AH and ESP, the Authentication Header and Encapsulating Security Payload), Security associations, PKI key management, and Algorithms for authentication and encryption. Besides SSL encryption and also 128-bit encryption and SSL digital certificates or 128-bit certificates, the set of security services include access control service, connectionless data integrity, data origin authentication for secure authentication or secure SSL authentication, protection against replays, data confidentiality service and limited traffic flow confidentiality.

A protocol that authenticates data entering and encrypts data leaving an IPsec enabled computer and is transparent to the user who does not have to purposely invoke cryptographic protections. It consists of two related parts—one which manages authentication and key exchange, the other which handles the bulk encryption process—and is custom built for each operating system.
