The tools are:

; libipsec : Library with PF_KEY implementation.
; setkey : Tool to manipulate and dump the kernel Security Policy Database (SPD) and Security Association Database (SAD).
; racoon : Internet Key Exchange (IKE) daemon for automatically keying IPsec connections.
; racoonctl : A shell-based control tool for racoon

Maintained in part by Michal Ludvig, who now works for AsteriskLtd in [Auckland].
