A Review of the Adoption of IPSEC Concept in Securing Web Servers

Abstract

This paper presents an in depth view of the adoption of internet protocol security (IPsec) in the management of web servers in the areas of security challenges. This concept has grown over the years due to the necessity and need to secure daily, the online resources we share and retrieve. The performance of different Web server architectures is evaluated in the context of a single implementation in order to quantify the impact of a server’s concurrency architecture on its performance. This research presents a detailed information model about Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) policy designed to facilitate agreement about the content and semantics of IPsec policy, and enable derivations of task-specific representations of IPsec policy such as storage schema, distribution representations, and policy specification languages used to configure IPsec enabled endpoints. The information model described in this research explains the configuration parameters defined by IPsec.
