The tactical Intranet IPSec security concept

The IPSec protocols architecture that can be applied in tactical Intranet based on the IPv6 protocol stack for wireless environment is the subject of the paper. The potential usefulness of the new version of IP protocol is very important for tactical communication systems. Additionally, Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) security working group proposes recommendations covering the RFC 2401, 2402, 2406 that describe the security architecture for Internet Protocol. These standards, published by IETF are discussed here in military requirements context. The NATO C3 Technical Architecture model also recommends these issues. The concept of the IPSec architecture in military systems is described in the paper. The position of the security applications designed for subscriber devices with reference to layered model is also presented. The concept presented here is defined fort he tactical level.
