ABC are the right answers!

According to the Internet RFC 2408, the ISAKMP protocol offers the following services to the network: A. It relies upon a system of security associations. B. It provides key generation mechanisms. C. It authenticates communicating peers. Explanation: ISAKMP (Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol) relies upon a system of security associations (SAs) to establish and manage security parameters between communicating peers. It provides key generation mechanisms to establish the cryptographic keys needed for secure communication. It authenticates communicating peers, ensuring that both parties in the communication are valid and authorized. Protection against threats, such as DoS attacks and replay attacks, is often associated with the security services provided by IPSec, which works in conjunction with ISAKMP.
