IPsec
In computing, Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a secure network protocol suite that authenticates and encrypts packets of data to provide secure encrypted communication between two computers over an Internet Protocol network. It is used in virtual private networks (VPNs).

strongSwan
strongSwan is a multiplatform IPsec implementation. The focus of the project is on authentication mechanisms using X.509 public key certificates and optional storage of private keys and certificates on smartcards through a PKCS#11 interface and on TPM 2.0.
Openswan
In the field of computer security, Openswan provides a complete IPsec implementation for Linux and FreeBSD.
Dead Peer Detection
feature of some IPsec VPN implementations
FreeS/WAN
FreeS/WAN, for Free Secure Wide-Area Networking, was a free software project which implemented a reference version of the IPsec network security layer for Linux. The project goal of ubiquitous opportunistic encryption of Internet traffic was not realized, although it did contribute to general Internet encryption.
