Explanation:
IPSec is a standard that provides encryption, access control, non-repudiation, and authentication of messages
over an IP.
The two main protocols of IPSec are the Authentication Header (AH) and the Encapsulating Security Payload
(ESP.) The AH provides integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation. An ESP primarily provides encryption,
but it can also provide limited authentication.
Incorrect Answers:
B: ESP provides encryption; it does not provide integrity, authentication or non-repudiation.
C: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is not part of IPSec.
D: Secure Shell (SSH-2) is not part of IPSec.
