Which component of IPsec is responsible for encrypting and authenticating IP packets?
IKE (Internet Key Exchange)
AH (Authentication Header)
ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload)
GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation)
What is the primary function of the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol in IPsec?
To encrypt data packets
To exchange keys securely and establish a shared security policy
To provide tunneling capabilities

In the context of VPNs, what is the function of split tunneling?
To encrypt all network traffic
To allow users to access both secure VPN resources and public internet simultaneously
To restrict internet access while connected to the VPN

In the context of VPNs, what is meant by "tunneling"?
Compressing data for faster transmission
Encrypting data for secure transmission
Encapsulating data packets within another packet for secure transmission
Redirecting traffic through multiple paths for redundancy
Which of the following is a characteristic of an IPsec VPN?
It uses GRE for encapsulation
It provides encryption, authentication, and integrity
It operates at the application layer
It requires a dedicated physical circuit
What does SSL VPN use to create a secure connection?
IPsec
