NIST Cerberus: An IPsec Reference Implementation Cerberus is a leading edge prototype and reference implementations of emerging network layer Internet security (i.e., IPsec)
technologies. Implemented as a kernel module for the Linux operating system, the Cerberus prototype provides complete support for IPsec authentication and encryption services in both tunnel (i.e., firewall)
and transport (i.e., host) mode. Cerberus provides a policy engine, security association database, and support for numerous, algorithm specific, security transforms. The initial release of Cerberus supports
IPv4 with manual key management. Subsequent releases will add IPv6 support and integration of a prototype implementation of the Internet Security Association Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP). For more information on the Cerberus Project see:
