Embodiment Construction

[0026] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0027] FIG. 1 shows a system for remotely and transparently managing security associations of Internet protocol security according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, the system includes two application devices APP_DEV_1 and APP_DEV_2. The application device APP_DEV_1 includes a management client MNG_CL_1 for issuing security association management requests, and the application device APP_DEV_2 includes two management clients MNG_CL_2 and MNG_CL_3. The security association management requests issued by the management clients MNG_CL_1, MNG-CL_2 and MNG_CL_3 include requests for adding a security association, requests for deleting a security association and / or requests for querying a security association. In the exemplary embodiment of the invention shown in Fig...

Abstract

The present invention concerns a method and a system for remotely and transparently managing security associations of Internet Protocol Security. The system comprises one or more application devices, each of which comprises at least one management client for issuing security association management requests. The system further comprises a service device comprising an Internet Protocol Security service means for providing one or more Internet Protocol Security services, and a management server for receiving the issued requests and for responding, in connection with the Internet Protocol Security service means, to the received requests. The system further comprises a communication network for securely connecting the application devices to the service device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to communication technology. More particularly, the present invention relates to a new and improved method and system for remotely and transparently managing Internet Protocol Security security associations. Background technique [0002] Internet Protocol Security, also known as IPSec or IPsec, is a framework that provides IP network security at the network layer. IPSec was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). RFC documents (Request for Comments, RFC) 2401 to 2409 of the IETF describe IPSec. [0003] IPSec provides confidentiality and authentication services to IP services. These services are provided by protocols known as Authentication Header (AH, described in RFC 2402) and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP, described in RFC 2406), wherein the Authentication Header protocol is basically Allowing authentication of the sender of the data, the encapsulating security payload allows authentication of...
