An Inside Look at IPSec in Vista
Overview When two machines communicate using IPSec, they mutually authenticate with each other first and then negotiate how to encrypt and digitally sign traffic they exchange. These IPSec communication sessions are called Security Associations (SAs), and Microsoft Windows platforms use IPSec policies to determine how these associations are formed. An IPSec policy consists of a series of rules made up of filter lists and filter actions. Any traffic that matches a specific filter is processed according to the filter action associated with it. The whole thing is pretty complex to set up and manage, and though IPSec management tools were improved in Windows XP, they're not really very intuitive to use. Things are going to be better in Windows Vista, at least to a degree.
