As mentioned above, other documents provide detailed definitions of some of the components of IPsec and of their interrelationship. They include RFCs on the following topics:

• a. security protocols -- RFCs describing the Authentication Header (AH) [Ken05b] and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) [Ken05a] protocols.
• b. cryptographic algorithms for integrity and encryption -- one RFC that defines the mandatory, default algorithms for use with AH and ESP [Eas05], a similar RFC that defines the mandatory algorithms for use with IKEv2 [Sch05] plus a separate RFC for each cryptographic algorithm.
• c. automatic key management -- RFCs on "The Internet Key Exchange (IKEv2) Protocol" [Kau05] and "Cryptographic Algorithms for Use in the Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2)" [Sch05].
