Understanding IKE Phase 2

IKE Phase 2 is the second stage of the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol used in IPsec VPNs. During this phase, the peers establish a secure connection by negotiating encryption and authentication methods, as well as agreeing on the keying material to protect the actual data transmission between them. The Phase 2 negotiation sets up the parameters for the secure data exchange, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of the network communication.
