Scalable Deployment of IPsec in Corporate Intranets

Overview One promising strategy for protecting valuable network traffic is to encrypt data communications on the LAN. Internet Protocol Security (IPsec), a network-layer security framework defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), is rapidly gaining acceptance as an industry standard for encryption-based network security. In this paper, we discuss various deployment options and explain how organizations can phase in IPsec incrementally, starting with small pilot groups and a simple, role-based deployment model. If finer-grained policies or IPsec-based access control are needed, organizations can transition to a workgroup-based model by adding a trust infrastructure such as X.509 certificates or Kerberos. For many organizations, however, a simple and inexpensive role-based deployment should be sufficient.
