iStorage Server supports IP SEC

iStorage Server supports Internet Protocol Security (IP SEC) architecture

Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is an architecture defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 2401. This architecture involves several protocols that perform various functions in the architecture.

A network is not secure until servers can identify the computers communicating with them. IPSec enables secure, trusted communications between IP addresses. The system behind the IP address has an identity that is verified by using an authentication process. The only computers that must be aware of IPSec are the sending and receiving computers. Each computer handles security at its respective end, and assumes that the medium over which the communication takes place is not secure. Any computers that route data between the source and destination computer are not required supporting IPSec.

Main benefits of IPSec are:

• Strong security that can be applied to all traffic crossing the perimeter
• Transparent to applications
• No need to change software on a user or server system
• There is no need to train users on security mechanism
• Secure remote access over the Internet
