The security architecture of the Internet Protocol known as IP Security (IPsec) is the most advanced effort in the standardization
of Internet security. IPsec provides secure communication between two IP nodes, called IPsec peers. These types of communications
are essentially sets of Security Associations (SAs) and define which protocol should be applied to packets. To implement IPsec
cooperation with key management protocol- either manual or automated-, it is required prior to the security association management
tool and database(SADB). This paper proposes the design and implementation of SA management method oriented to IP security.
