[LFX-2025-Sep-Nov] Improving Ipsec's Stability and Ease of Use

[LiZhenCheng9527]

What would you like to be added:
According to the situation of Kmesh IPsec features, combined with the user's actual use scenarios, simplify the user's configuration steps and improve the ease of use of IPsec. And improve IPsec stability by means of testing and refactoring functions, etc.
Why is this needed:
Communication encryption is an important functional feature of the Service Mesh to ensure communication security. Kmesh uses IPsec to implement this feature. However, Kmesh lacks the reliability maintenance and ease of use enhancements for Kmesh. Therefore, we should optimize the reliability and ease of use of IPsec in addition to its implementation.

@LiZhenCheng9527 Hi, I was thinking for applying for this project for LFX mentorship, is there any requirements such contributions or any time zone constraints?

[LiZhenCheng9527]

When using the kmeshctl secret command to create an IPsec configuration, if a random key is used, it can simplify the command by having the user not generate the random key themselves, but instead letting kmeshctl generate it on their behalf.

1. The old method of use involves running the command: kmeshctl secret --key=$(dd if=/dev/urandom count=36 bs=1 2>/dev/null | xxd -p -c 64)
2. The new method of use simplifies this by allowing commands like kmeshctl secret create, where the tool generates the key automatically.

No. We have no time zone restrictions and welcome developers from around the world to join the Kmesh community.

Should we also consider multi clusters scenarios here?
