ipsec2k


IPsec2k is a home-brewed API library for configuring native Windows IPsec Policy Agent.

Overview

Both Windows 2000 and XP are IPsec-capable, but no offical API was ever released. MS did publish a console application capable of manipulating IPsec policies, and some people wrote wrappers for it.

Both Microsoft Management Console and Microsoft IPsecPol tool are operating with a number of cross-referenced registry entries. Creating a filter, an action or the policy results in the registry being populated with respective keys and values. Assigning (or activating) the policy is done via setting certain value in the registry and then signaling IPsec service via CONTROL interface.

The library defines clear and simple interface for manipulating IPsec policies and replicates MMC and ipsecpol behaviour behind the scenes.
