What is IKEv2? How does it work? Let's get to know each other.

What is IKEv2?

IKEv2 is a protocol developed by Microsoft in 1999, enhanced by Cisco in 2004, and standardized by IETF in 2010. It is officially named Internet Key Exchange version 2. Compared to older VPN protocols, IKEv2 has several clear advantages: fast connection speed, ability to smoothly connect across multiple devices, strong security, and high adaptability for dynamic network changes.

Is IKEv2 secure?

IKEv2 is one of the most secure VPN protocols available. It supports 256-bit encryption and works with leading encryption algorithms like Camellia, AES, and Blowfish. It is secure because the connection is initiated by both parties, so there is no chance for packet injection from external sources.

Is IKEv2 fast?

Yes, IKEv2 is one of the fastest VPN protocols available. It operates on UDP and uses port 500, which reduces latency. The efficient message exchange process leads to faster VPN connections.
