Angelos Keromytis: OpenBSD IPsec stack

6 pm, Soho Apple Store at 103 Prince Street

A presentation will be made on the OpenBSD IPsec stack and the related
subsystems that make it work (or not). These include the mbuf tags, the
Cryptographic Framework, and the isakmpd key-management daemon. We will begin
with a brief introduction of IPsec from a 30,000 ft. view, and proceed to the
various IPsec components in the OpenBSD kernel.
