Hi
There is now a newsgroup dedicated to Internet Protocol Security or IPsec
(microsoft.public.windows.ipsec)! IPsec is a framework of open standards
for ensuring private, secure communications over Internet Protocol (IP)
networks. Through the use of cryptographic security services, IPsec
provides the ability to protect communication between workgroups, local area
network computers, domain clients and servers, branch offices (which might
be physically remote), extranets, and roving clients.
The Microsoft implementation of IPsec is based on standards developed by the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) IPsec working group. IPsec is the
long-term direction for secure networking and is supported by the Windows
Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 operating systems.
Please take a look at our web site,
http://www.microsoft.com/ipsec/, for
information such as:
- Frequently Asked Questions on IPsec
- Introductory overviews of IPsec
- Deployment resources
- Links to Troubleshooting Documents
- And other useful information
We look forward to having meaningful discussions with you and hope this
newsgroup will be a valuable resource for the community!
Cheers,
The IPsec Development Team
