ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_DECRYPT - 13867 (0x362B)

Error decrypting payload.

Updated: Feb 21, 2026

Technical Meaning

The error code Error_IPSEC_IKE_DECRYPT with the numeric value 13867 and hexadecimal representation 0x362B indicates an issue encountered during the decryption process of IPsec/IKE payload. This error is typically observed in scenarios where the system attempts to decrypt data but fails due to some underlying problem.

Error Details

  • Error Name: Error_IPSEC_IKE_DECRYPT
  • Numeric Code: 13867 (0x362B)
  • Short Description: Indicates an issue during the decryption process of IPsec/IKE payload.

Usage Context

This error is commonly encountered in environments where IPsec or IKE protocols are being used for secure communication. The error can occur at various stages, such as when processing encrypted packets, establishing a security association (SA), or handling key exchanges.

Developer Interpretation

When this error occurs, it suggests that the decryption process has failed due to an issue with the cryptographic operations. This could be caused by invalid input parameters, corrupted data, or other technical issues related to the IPsec/IKE protocol stack.

Common Causes

  • Invalid Parameter Values: Incorrect or malformed input parameters can lead to decryption failures.
  • Corrupted Data: If the encrypted payload is damaged or altered in transit, it may not be decryptable.
  • Unsupported Operations: Certain operations might not be supported by the current configuration or environment.

Related Errors

  • Error_IPSEC_IKE_AUTH_FAIL (13864): Authentication failure during IPsec/IKE negotiation.
  • Error_IPSEC_IKE_NO_CERT (13870): No certificate available for authentication in IKE negotiations.
  • Error_IPSEC_IKE_INVALID_KEY (13869): Invalid key used in the decryption process.

FAQ

Q: What does Error_IPSEC_IKE_DECRYPT mean?

A: It indicates a failure during the decryption of IPsec/IKE payload.

Q: How can I troubleshoot this error?

A: Review the operation context, validate parameters, and ensure that all cryptographic operations are correctly configured.

Summary

Error_IPSEC_IKE_DECRYPT is an indication of a failure in the decryption process within IPsec/IKE protocols. Developers should focus on validating input parameters, ensuring data integrity, and confirming that all cryptographic operations are properly configured to resolve this issue.
