Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/ipsec-ike

IPSec IKE (Internet Key Exchange) is a protocol used to set up a secure, authenticated channel between two parties in an IPSec VPN, negotiating the cryptographic keys and security associations needed to encrypt and protect network traffic. It's a core skill for network and security engineers configuring site-to-site or remote-access VPNs on routers, firewalls, and gateways. Knowing IKE (versions 1 and 2) involves understanding key exchange algorithms, authentication methods, and troubleshooting tunnel negotiation failures.
