IKEv2 stands for Internet Key Exchange version 2. IKEv2 VPN is used to refer to IKEv2 / IPSec, the combination of two protocols that set up a VPN connection.
IKEv2 handles the security association (the negotiations of what kind of security will be used) between your device and the VPN server, and IPSec carries all the data transmission.
IKEv2 VPN is extremely secure.
To establish an IKEv2 VPN connection requires a combination of four cipher algorithms: Encryption Algorithms, Integrity Algorithms, Pseudo-random Functions, and Key Exchange Algorithms.
- Encryption AlgorithmsPrevent anyone else gets to knows the original content of the information.
- Key Exchange AlgorithmAllows two devices to establish a shared secret over an unsecured network without having shared anything beforehand.
- Integrity AlgorithmsMake sure the data has not been tampered with or modified by a middle man attack.
- Pseudo-random FunctionsMake sure there is no efficient algorithm can distinguish between functions to secure encryption scheme.
No one else could know what information you sent or received besides yourself or the peer you are communicating to.
As a cutting-edge VPN connection protocol, IKEv2 was supported and implemented by almost all of the modern operating systems in recent years.
