Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a protocol used to establish a secure, authenticated communication channel between two parties, typically for VPN connections. It's a key part of the Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) protocol suite. IKE's main function is to negotiate and manage the security associations (SAs), which define the specific algorithms and keys used for secure communication.
