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.
