VPN Benefits
• Save Money (Reduce NW Costs by 30-60%)
– Eliminate long distance charges
– Reduce private leased line charges
• Increase Business Speed and Flexibility
– Internet can be accessed everywhere through many
technologies
– Internet capacity is available on demand
6
VPN Technology
• Basic VPN Concepts
– Tunneling
– Encryption
– Authentication
• Associated VPN Concepts
– Routing
– Firewalling
– Load Balancing
7
Basics: Tunneling
Internet
Definition
Tunnels are a method of transmitting private data over public
networks
Tunnels employ a technique called “encapsulation”
Secure Tunnels are tunnels that guarantee the privacy and integrity
of the transmitted data and the authenticity of the parties
communicating
Standards Alternatives
PPTP, L2F, L2TP (Layer 2, Remote Access Only, Not Secure)
IPSec (Layer 3, Remote Access AND LAN-to-LAN, Strong Security)
Tunneling Benefits
hides network topology and application information
connect “un-routed” networks across the Internet
8
Basics: Encryption
• Encryption Ensures the Privacy and
Integrity of Transmitted Data
• Encryption Terms
–
–
–
–
DES - encryption standard (also known as 56-bit)
3DES - 168-bit encryption standard; most secure
Public and Private keys
IKE - Internet Key Exchange
• Level of Security Is Dependent On:
– Strength of the underlying algorithm
– Key length (512, 1024, or 2048-bit)
– Frequency of key change
9
Basics: Authentication
• Authentication
Guarantees the Identity
and Authority of the VPN
Participants
• Choices Include:
– Technologies: passwords,
challenge phrase, tokens with onetime passwords, and X.509 digital
certificates
– Products: NT Domains, NDS,
RADIUS, SDI, Entrust, Shiva CA
• A VPN Solution Should Allow
You to Choose the
Authentication Method That
Matches Your Needs

Case Studies - Open University
(Intel / Shiva VPN Solution)
Remote Access
14
Case Study - Open University
ISSUES
– Security for remote users (encryption, tunneling,
authentication)
– Sensitive information (Course material, etc)
– Long distance charges for oversea students
– Protect internal network with Firewall
– Same username and password in different
applications(e.g. RAS, VPN, Mail, etc)

Case Study - Open University
• Open University:
– An University base in Hong Kong
• SOLUTION
– Shiva VPN Client provides access through VPN tunnels
– Security with encryption, tunneling and digital certificates
– No long distance charges
– ICSA-Certified firewall in Shiva VPN Gateway
– In process of replacing frame relay with office to office
VPN across the Internet
