name: SPD
full_form: Security Policy Database (sometimes also referred to as SPDB)
context: The Security Policy Database (SPD) is a policy instrument to decide which security services are to be offered and in what fashion. The SPD shall be consulted during processing of both inbound and outbound traffic. This also includes traffic that shall not/need not be protected by IPsec. In order to achieve this, the SPD shall have unique entries for both inbound and outbound traffic such that the SPD can discriminate among traffic that shall be protected by IPsec, that shall bypass IPsec or that shall be discarded by IPsec. The SPD plays a central role when defining security policies, both within the internal security domain and towards external security domains. The security policy towards external security domains will be subject to roaming agreements.
