Security Associations (SAs): The crucial relationships between two or more entities that outline how they will utilize security services to ensure secure communication. An SA encapsulates all necessary parameters like encryption algorithms, cryptographic keys, and authentication techniques, offering a defined pathway for the secure exchange of data. SAs are widely used in protocol suites like Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of communications.
