Abstract
This paper examines the use of NAT with IPsec as a transparent security mechanism. It discusses the security needs and solutions that define how to combine IPsec and NAT. Because of the inherent limitations of current proposed solutions, this paper proposes an end-to-end security architecture using IPsec in the NAT/DHCP environment with a formal validation to the proposed architecture using an automatic protocol analyser called Hermes. This paper is builds upon works previously published.
