rfc2402: IP Authentication Header
rfc2403: The Use of HMAC-MD5-96 within ESP and AH
rfc2404: The Use of HMAC-SHA-1-96 within ESP and AH
rfc2405: The ESP DES-CBC Cipher Algorithm With Explicit IV
rfc2406: IP Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
rfc2407: The Internet IP Security Domain of Interpretation for ISAKMP
