SKIP - Simple Key management for Internet Protocols
IP-Level Cryptography
Secure every application with one protocol
SKIP secures the network at the IP packet level. Any networked
application gains the benefits of encryption, without requiring
modification. SKIP is unique in that an Internet host can send an
encrypted packet to another host without requiring a prior message
exchange to set up a secure channel. SKIP is particularly well-suited
to IP networks, as both are stateless protocols. Some of the
advantages of SKIP include:
- No connection setup overhead
- High availability - encryption gateways that fail can reboot and
resume decrypting packets instantly, without having to renegotiate
(potentially thousands) of existing connections
- Allows uni-directional IP (e.g., IP broadcast via satellite or cable)
- Scalable multicast key distribution
- SKIP gateways can be configured in parallel to perform instant-failover
