VPN Presentation

VPN allows users to securely access a private network from a remote location over a public network like the Internet. It uses encryption and tunneling protocols to create a secure connection between devices. There are four main protocols used in VPN - PPTP, L2TP, IPsec, and SSL. VPN provides authentication, access control, confidentiality and integrity of data being transmitted over the public network. It encrypts data before sending and decrypts upon receipt, protecting data from being read or altered during transmission.

VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK

Introduction: What is a VPN?


Virtual Private Network

Traditional Connectivity

What is VPN?
Virtual Private Network is a type of private

network that uses public telecommunication, such as the Internet, instead of leased lines to communicate.
A VPN enables you to send data between two

computers across a shared or public internetwork.

Remote Access Virtual Private Network

Brief Overview of How it Works


Two connections one is made to the Internet and

the second is made to the VPN. Firewalls VPNs allow authorized users to pass through the firewalls. Protocols protocols create the VPN tunnels.

Four Critical Functions


Authentication validates that the data was sent from

the sender. Access control limiting unauthorized users from accessing the network. Confidentiality preventing the data to be read or copied as the data is being transported. Data Integrity ensuring that the data has not been altered

Encryption
Encryption -- is a method of scrambling data

before transmitting it onto the Internet.


Public Key Encryption Technique
Digital signature for authentication

Tunneling
A virtual point-to-point connection made through a public network. It transports encapsulated datagrams.
Original Datagram Encrypted Inner Datagram Datagram Header Outer Datagram Data Area

Data Encapsulation [From Comer]

Two types of end points: Remote Access Site-to-Site

Four Protocols used in VPN


PPTP -- Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol L2TP -- Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol IPsec -- Internet Protocol Security

VPN Components: Protocols


IP Security (IPSec) Transport mode Tunnel mode
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Voluntary tunneling method Uses PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)

VPN Components: Protocols


Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) Exists at the data link layer of OSI Composed from PPTP and L2F (Layer 2 Forwarding) Compulsory tunneling method

Types of Implementations
