To prevent -**MITM** attacks, no third party should be able to interpret transported data. -Another aspect is the data anonymization in order to protect the leakage of -private information on the user or any other third party. - -The use of standards such as **IPSec** provides "_private and secure -communications over IP networks, through the use of cryptographic security -services, is a set of protocols using algorithms to transport secure data over -an IP network._". In addition, **IPSec** operates at the network layer of the -**OSI** model, contrary to previous standards that operate at the application -layer. This makes its application independent and means that users do not need -to configure each application to **IPSec** standards. - -**IPSec** provides the services below : - -- Confidentiality: A service that makes it impossible to interpret data if it is - not the recipient. It is the encryption function that provides this service by - transforming intelligible (unencrypted) data into unintelligible (encrypted) - data. -- Authentication: A service that ensures that a piece of data comes from where - it is supposed to come from. -- Integrity: A service that consists in ensuring that data has not been tampered - with accidentally or fraudulently. -- Replay Protection: A service that prevents attacks by re-sending a valid - intercepted packet to the network for the same authorization. This service is - provided by the presence of a sequence number. -- Key management: Mechanism for negotiating the length of encryption keys - between two **IPSec** elements and exchange of these keys. - -An additional means of protection would be to do the monitoring between users -and the cloud as a **CASB** will provide. - -<!-- section-config --> - -Domain | Object | Recommendations ------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- -Application-Cloud-Transport-1 | Integrity, confidentiality and legitimacy | Should implement IPSec standards. - -<!-- end-section-config --> |
