Re: Why can't ESP authenticate IP header?



In RFC-2406 (ESP), in "Introduction," it says:

"ESP is used to provide confidentiality, data origin authentication,
connectionless integrity, an anti-replay service (a form of partial
sequence integrity), and limited traffic flow confidentiality."

How can it provide "data origin authentication" in transport mode?
