98
Q

Two Firewall Modes

A

Transport Mode: In transport mode, only the IP packet data is encrypted, but the header of the packet is not..

Tunnel Mode: Tunnel mode, HEADER AND PACKET DATA IS ENCYRPTED. The source and destination IP addresses are encrypted and an ESP header is added followed by a new IP header…When IPSec is used in tunnel mode, entire packets, rather than just the payload, are encrypted. This mode is designed for use in gateway-to-gateway TUNNEL IS MORE SECURE.

Q

Which Firewall mode only encrypts IP Packet Data and NOT Header

100
Q

Which of the two FW modes are more secure and why.
