Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the cryptographic algorithms for IPsec from the left onto the cryptographic processes on the right. Answer:

The correct answer is esp-md5-hmac; esp-sha-hmac; esp-3des; esp-aes-256. In IPsec, cryptographic processes are divided into two categories: integrity/authentication and encryption. ESP-md5-hmac and esp-sha-hmac are hashing algorithms used for data integrity and authentication (HMAC = Hash-based Message Authentication Code), while esp-3des and…

Explanation

In IPsec, cryptographic processes are divided into two categories: integrity/authentication and encryption. ESP-md5-hmac and esp-sha-hmac are hashing algorithms used for data integrity and authentication (HMAC = Hash-based Message Authentication Code), while esp-3des and esp-aes-256 are symmetric encryption algorithms used for confidentiality. The correct arrangement places the HMAC-based algorithms under integrity/authentication processes and the cipher-based algorithms under encryption processes.
