Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP have an IPSec feature. IPSec is also supported in an IPv6 environment. However, IPv6 does not support the encryption of payload data. The Windows IPv6 IPSec feature can, at present, be used to authenticate the server and to prevent data repudiation. Also, at present, the Windows IPv6 IPSec does not support Internet Key Exchange (IKE), an automatic exchange mechanism.
