An Overview of SunScreen SKIP

SunScreen SKIP is Sun Microsystems' implementation of Simple Key-Management for Internet Protocols (SKIP).

SunScreen SKIP is replacement software and upgrade software for any previous version of SKIP for Solaris.

This chapter provides instructions for installing SunScreen SKIP on Solaris, Versions 2.4, 2.5, or 2.5.1 and Solaris for the Intel Platform. Once SunScreen SKIP is installed, configured, and enabled on the systems requiring its services, IP-layer encryption can begin. SunScreen SKIP runs without further administration effort until new systems need to be added or certificate management is required. This chapter also describes how you can protect your locally stored secrets with a password.
