How does GRE Labs ensure security?

GRE Labs, as a Layer Zero Project, likely employs a variety of security measures to ensure the integrity and safety of its on-chain user application (UA) that runs an Ultra Light Node (ULN). While specific details about GRE Labs’ security features are not readily available, it’s worth noting that projects of this nature often use established security protocols.

For instance, Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels are often secured with IPSec encryption¹. IPSec is a collection of protocols that provide encryption for sensitive data and ensure end-to-end integrity of data¹. It was used to support the encryption of unicast IP packets¹.

There are two ways to implement encryption over a GRE tunnel: Crypto Maps and Tunnel IPsec Profiles¹. Encrypting traffic in a GRE tunnel using crypto maps is not recommended because of its limitations which IPsec profiles have addressed¹.
