Teaching high-assurance internet protocol encryption (haipe) using opnet modeler simulation tool
Tae H. Oh, Sumita Mishra, Yin Pan · 2009
HAIPE is a primary encryption technology in the Department of Defense (DoD) Networks and has been a critical architecture component of net-centric operation. It is a fairly new encryption technology similar to Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), and it is not easy to teach different components of HAIPE in a traditional classroom environment. However, Optimum Network (OPNET) Modeler tool with extensive features of HAIPE offers practical experience of the encryption technology to students. A combination of theoretical teaching and practical experience provide easier and in-depth understanding of the technology. This paper discusses how the OPNET Modeler tool can benefit students in the understanding of HAIPE technology and discusses the features in the tool offers that can be used for effective teaching. Lastly, this paper discusses how this tool can be used to meet configuration, visual, and trade-off learning objectives.
