IKEv2 toolkit enables secure authentication in VPN, 3G and storage area networks
In computing, Internet Key Exchange (IKE, versioned as IKEv1 and IKEv2) is the protocol used to set up a security association (SA) in the IPsec protocol suite. IKE builds upon the Oakley protocol and ISAKMP. [1] IKE uses X.509 certificates for authentication ‒ either pre-shared or distributed using DNS (preferably with DNSSEC) ‒ and a Diffie–Hellman key exchange to set up a shared ...
IKEv2 is a key management protocol that facilitates secure internet connections by managing encryption and authentication in IPsec security associations.
used by both IKEv1 and IKEv2, although in IKEv2 they are referred to as the "IKE SPI" and there is a new separate field in a Notify payload holding the cookie. Kaufman, et al. Standards Track [Page 34] RFC 7296 IKEv2bis October 2014 2.6.1.
IKE version 2 (IKEv2) is defined in RFC 5996 and enhances the function of performing dynamic key exchange and peer authentication. IKEv2 simplifies the key exchange flows and introduces measures to fix vulnerabilities present in IKEv1. Both IKEv1 and IKEv2 protocols operate in two phases. IKEv2 provides a simpler and more efficient exchange.
Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) is among the fastest VPN protocols. It is usually paired with IPSec and is commonly known as IKEv2/IPSec.
