IPSec adds security to [IP].

Quick list of links:

* Back ported from [IPv6] into [IPv4].
* Two types: [ESP] and [AH].
* Uses [IKE] for connection and key negotiation.
* Would help to secure the Internet with OpportunisticEncryption if anyone cared.
* Provided on Linux by FreeSwan, or its derivatives OpenSwan or StrongSwan.
** [IPSecInstallation]
** [IPSecConfiguration].
*** [IPSecConfigurationPSK] (Pre-shared keys)
*** [IPSecConfigurationRSA] (RSA keys)
*** [IPSecConfigurationNAT] (Tunneling over NAT connection)
* Since kernel 2.6, the [26sec] implementation is in the mainline kernel.  This is configured using either a *S/WAN or IpsecTools.
* [IPSecBenchmarks].
* FreeSwanToCiscoPix (to create a tunnel to a [Cisco] PIX unit)
* Good article explaining [IPSec] http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/iguide-ipsec.html
* [The official IPsec Howto for Linux|http://www.ipsec-howto.org/]

Other tunnel implementations:

* [PPTP], a more [Microsoft] compatible implementation for a secure tunnel to a RoadWarrior
* [OpenVPN], cross platform userspace [SSL] VPN
