Objectives
• Describe IP security issues and how the IPSec
protocol addresses them
• Choose the appropriate IPSec mode for a given
situation
• Implement authentication for IPSec
• Enable IPSec
• Creat IPSec policies
• Monitor and troubleshoot IPSec
2
IP Security (IPSec) Overview
• Techniques used to eavesdrop on IP-based
communication
– Packet sniffing
• Packet sniffer software used to view all packets
traversing your network
– Data replay
• Packets are captured and replayed at later time
– Data modification
• Packets can be modified before being replayed
– Address spoofing
• Hackers can falsify source IP address and gain
unauthorized access to resources
3
IPSec Overview (Continued)
• IPSec
– Secures IP-based communication
– Supported by Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF)
– Authenticates endpoints of any IP-based
conversation
– Encryption can be used to hide contents of data
packets
– Exists at Network layer of TCP/IP architecture
4
IPSec Overview (Continued)
– Not supported by pre-Windows 2000 operating
systems
– Can significantly slow communication on a
network
– Cannot be routed through NAT
– Adds complexity to a network
– Can be valuable addition to a network when data
integrity or confidentiality are required
5
IPSec (Continued)
6
IPSec Modes
• Tunnel mode
– IPSec communication between two networks
• Transport mode
– IPSec communication between two hosts
• Authentication headers (AH) mode
– Enforces authentication of the two IPSec clients
– Includes a digital signature on each packet
• Encapsulating security payload (ESP) mode
– Has all the features of AH mode plus encryption
of data in the packet
7
AH Mode
•
•
•
•
•
Provides authentication of the two endpoints
Adds checksum to the packet
Does not provide data confidentiality
Payload of the packet is unencrypted
Used in situations where you are concerned
about packets being captured
• Less processor-intensive than ESP mode
8
ESP Mode
• Provides authentication of the two endpoints
– Guarantees that the two endpoints are known
• Adds a checksum to each packet
– Guarantees that the packet was not modified in
transit
• Encrypts the data in the packet
– Ensures that unintended recipients cannot read
the data in the packet
• Used in most implementations of IPSec because
data encryption is desired
9
Transport Mode
• Used between two hosts
• Both endpoints in the communication must
support IPSec
– Limits implementation of IPSec
– Many devices, such as printers, rarely offer IPSec
support
10
Transport Mode (Continued)
11
Transport Mode (Continued)
12
Tunnel Mode
• Used between two routers
• Hosts communicating through the routers do not
need to support IPSec
– Routers take the original IP packets and
encapsulate them
– Any IP device can take advantage of routers
running IPSec in tunnel mode
13

15
IPSec Authentication
• IPSec communication
– Both endpoints are authenticated
• Internet Key Exchange (IKE)
– Process used by two IPSec hosts to negotiate
their security parameters
• Security association (SA)
– Term used when security parameters have been
agreed upon
• Authentication methods
– Preshared key
– Certificates
– Kerberos
16
Preshared Key
• A combination of characters entered at each
endpoint of the IPSec connection
• Authentication
– Both endpoints know the same secret, and no
one else has been told
– Advantage
• Simplicity
• Authentication occurs as long as the preshared
key is typed in correctly on each device
– Disadvantage
• Movement of the preshared key when configuring
the two devices
17
Certificates
• May be presented for authentication
• Useful when clients are from outside of your
organization
• Disadvantage of using third-party certificates
– Cost: Each client needs to buy a certificate
– Clients may not be technically savvy enough to
obtain certificates
18
Kerberos
• Authentication system used by Windows
2000/XP/2003 for access to network resources
• In Active Directory
– Domain is equivalent to a Kerberos realm
• Advantage
– Seamless integration with domain security
• Not a commonly supported authentication
system for IPSec on non-Microsoft products
• Not appropriate for Windows computers that are
not part of the Active Directory forest
19
Enabling IPSec
• IPSec Policies
– Used to enable IPSec
– Can be configured manually on each server or
distributed through Group Policy
– Define the circumstances under which IP traffic is
• Tunneled using IPSec
• Permitted without using IPSec
• Blocked
– Also define
• Type of authentication
• Which network connections are affected
• Whether IPSec is to be used in tunnel mode or
transport mode
20
Enabling IPSec (Continued)
• IPSec policies installed by default
– Server (Request Security)
– Client (Respond Only)
– Secure Server (Require Security)
• Default policies
–
–
–
–
Configured to use Kerberos for authentication
Permits ICMP traffic
Respond to requests to use IPSec
Differ in the way they request security
• IPSec Policy
– Must be in place to use IPSec
21
Assigning IPSec Policies
• Single server
– Can be configured with many IPSec policies
• No Policy is used until assigned
• Once policy has been assigned
– Does not take effect immediately
– IPSec Policy Agent must be restarted
22
Creating an IPSec Policy
• IPSec policy
– Composed of IPSec rules
• IPSec rule composed of
–
–
–
–
–
IP filter list
IPSec filter action
Authentication methods
Tunnel endpoint
Connection type
23
IPSec Policy Rules
24
Creating an IPSec Policy
(Continued)
• IP filter lists and IPSec filter actions
– Maintained in a central list by Windows Server
2003
– Once created, can be reused by other rules within
a policy or other policies
25

Creating an IPSec Policy
(Continued)
• To create a new IPSec policy
– Use the IP Security Policy Wizard
• IP Security Policy Wizard requests

– Rules define how different types of IP traffic are
handled
– Default Response rule exists by default
• Create IP Security Rule Wizard
– Used when adding a rule
– Allows you to configure the most commonly used
options

IP Filter Lists
33
The Filter Action Window
• Three default actions
– Permit
• Allows packets to pass through the IP filter
unmodified
– Request Security (Optional)
• Attempts to create IPSec connections with all other
computers
• Uses non-IPSec communication if an SA cannot be
established
– Require Security
• Accepts non-IPSec packets
• Responds only using IPSec packet
34
Filter Actions
35
IPSec Filter Lists
• If multiple applications running on a server
– may be unnecessary for all IP traffic to be
encrypted
• Creating IP filter list
– Give it a name and description (optional)
– Add IP filters
– Specify the traffic to which the list will apply
36
IPSec Filter Lists (Continued)
• IP Filter Wizard
– Requests a description for the new IP filter
– Mirrored option applies the IP filter to
• Opposite source
• Selected destination ports specified in the IP filter
– Second window requests the source IP address
in the filter
– Third asks for the destination IP address in the
filter

– Request Security (Optional)
– Require Security
41
Filter Actions (Continued)
• IP Security Filter Action Wizard
–

–
–
Used to create filter actions
First window requests a name and description
Second window asks for an action behavior
Third window asks whether to allow unencrypted
communication with computers that do not
support IPSec
– Allows you to add only one security method
42
Cryptography Algorithms
• IPSec
– Offers both data integrity and encryption
• Two algorithms used for AH and ESP data
integrity
– Secure Hashing Algorithm (SHA1)
• Produces a 160-bit message digest
• Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
specifies this for use in U.S. federal government
contracts
– Message Digest 5 (MD5)
• Commonly used hashing algorithm for commercial
applications
• Produces a 128-bit message digest
• Less secure than SHA1, but faster
43
Cryptography Algorithms
(Continued)
• Two algorithms used for ESP data encryption
– Data Encryption Standard (DES)
• Common encryption algorithm that uses a 56-bit
key
• First designated for U.S. federal government use in
1977
44
Cryptography Algorithms
(Continued)
– Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES)
• Performs three rounds of encryption using
three different 56-bit keys giving an effective
key length of 168-bits
• Windows 2000 computers must have installed
the High Encryption Pack or have Service
Pack 2 to use 3DES

– An MMC snap-in that allows you to view the
status of IPSec SAs
– Can be used to confirm that an SA was
negotiated between two hosts
– Can be used to view the configuration of the
IPSec policy that is applied

the network
– Can identify IPSec traffic
– Cannot view encrypted information inside an
IPSec packet
– Not useful for troubleshooting application-level
problems if traffic is encrypted
51
