Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP): A component of the Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) suite used for ensuring secure communication by providing confidentiality, data origin authentication, connectionless integrity, and anti-replay. ESP achieves this by encapsulating the data to be protected, thus hiding the original data and safeguarding the integrity of the transmitted data.
