Detailing Key IPsec Functionality
IPsec in Windows Server 2012 provides for the following key functionality that, when combined, provides for one of the most secure solutions available for client/server encryption:

• Data integrity—The integrity of IPsec packets is enforced through ESP headers, which verify that the information contained within an IPSec packet has not been tampered with.
