Disclosed are an abnormal Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) packet
control system and method using IPSec configuration and session data
which detects whether or not the packets encrypted by an Encapsulating
Security Payload extended header are abnormal by using IPSec
configuration and session data tables without decrypting them, thereby
blocking harmful packets. The IPSec packet control system comprises: an
extended header processing unit that receives an IPSec packet and
extracts the data to be used in traffic control; check units for checking
the packets in the stages of IPSec configuration and IPSec communication
that receive the extracted data to determine whether or not the IPSec
packet has passed; and a control unit that allows the IPSec to pass or to
be blocked according to a determination result from the check units for
checking the IPSec configuration and communication packets, whereby the
abnormal IPSec packets are blocked using the IPSec configuration and
session tables without decryption and encryption thereof, thereby
processing the IPSec packet without performance degradation.
