Description
Powering IPsec encryption and integrity in NSX Edge and NSX Controller is the VMware's Linux Cryptographic Module. The Tunnel mode of the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) protocol performed by an IPsec Service kernel stack, such as NETKEY, utilizes the VMware's Linux Cryptographic Module to encrypt, decrypt, and perform integrity checks on data entering and exiting the NSX Edge virtual appliance.
