About the Common Assessment Method for Standards and Specifications (CAMSS) 

CAMSS is the European guide for assessing and selecting standards and specifications for an eGovernment project, a reference when building an architecture and an enabler for justifying the choice of standards and specifications in terms of interoperability needs and requirements. It is fully aligned with the European Standardisation Regulation 1025/2012. 

CAMSS Assessment 

CAMSS Assessment is a solution which corresponds to the output of an assessment of a standard, technical specification or standard developing/setting organisation using the CAMSS Assessment EIF Scenario. Each assessment produced is considered a CAMSS Assessment once it is approved by the CAMSS Team. Any approved assessment is published by the CAMSS Team and publicly available in Joinup. 

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) v6.0.0

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) v6.0.0 with the Common assessment method for standards and technical specifications (CAMSS). 

IPsec is designed to provide interoperable, high quality, cryptographically-based security for IPv4 and IPv6.  The set of security services offered includes access control, connectionless integrity, data origin authentication, detection and rejection of replays (a form of partial sequence integrity), confidentiality (via encryption), and limited traffic flow confidentiality. Moreover, IPsec includes a specification for minimal firewall functionality,  since that is an essential aspect of access control at the IP layer.

The specification has been developed and maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

The assessment has been performed with the CAMSS Assessment EIF Scenario v6.0.0.
