Internet Key Exchange (IKE): A protocol used to set up a security association (SA) in the IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) suite, which is widely employed to secure IP communications over networks. IKE simplifies the process of configuring IPsec connections and ensures security during the process of establishing these connections. It helps negotiate the cryptographic keys used in a security association, providing a reliable framework for exchanging encryption keys and authenticating users.
