VPN: Virtual Private Network

Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow users to securely access remote networks via the internet. There are four main types of VPNs: trusted VPNs, secure VPNs, hybrid VPNs, and provider-provisioned VPNs. VPNs use protocols like IPSec, PPTP, and L2TP to securely tunnel network traffic between devices. They provide security measures like encryption using keys and authentication to protect data. VPNs offer benefits like increased mobility and scalability but also challenges around standards and traffic unpredictability. Quality of service features ensure acceptable response times over VPN connections. VPN use is growing as more companies adopt them for their security, productivity and cost advantages.

INTRODUCTION

What is a VPN?
Introduction: What is a VPN?
 Virtual

 Private

 Network
Introduction to VPN
Introduction (continued):
 Four Categories:
• Trusted VPN

• Secure VPN

• Hybrid VPN

• Provider-provisioned VPN
VPN TOPOLOGY

How does a VPN work?


VPN Topology: Types of VPNs
 Remote access VPN

 Intranet VPN

 Extranet VPN
VPN Topology: Remote Access
VPN
VPN Topology: Intranet VPN
VPN Topology: Extranet VPN
VPN Topology: Advantages and
Disadvantages of VPN
 Advantages:

• Greater scalability
• Easy to add/remove users
• Reduced long-distance telecommunications
costs
• Mobility
• Security
VPN Topology: Advantages and
Disadvantages of VPN
 Disadvantages

• Lack of standards
• Understanding of security issues
• Unpredictable Internet traffic
• Difficult to accommodate products from
different vendors
VPN Topology: What is needed?
 Existing hardware (Servers, workstations,…)
 Internet connection

 VPN - Router/Switch

 Software to create and manage tunnels

 Security Device such as firewall


VPN Topology: How it works
 Operates at layer 2 or 3 of OSI model
• Layer 2 frame – Ethernet
• Layer 3 packet – IP
 Tunneling

• allows senders to encapsulate their data in IP


packets that hide the routing and switching
infrastructure of the Internet
• to ensure data security against unwanted viewers,
or hackers.
VPN COMPONENTS

What are the components


of VPN?
VPN Components
 Protocols

 Security

 Appliances
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
Example of packet encapsulation
VPN Components: Security

 Encryption

• Technique for scrambling and unscrambling


information
• Unscramble – called clear-text
• Scrambled information – cipher-text
VPN Components: Security
 Keys
• Secret code that the encryption algorithm uses to
create a unique version of cipher-text
• 8-bits keys = 256 combinations or two to the eighth
power
• 16-bits keys = 65,536 combinations or two to the 16th
power
• 56-bits keys = 72,057,594,037,927,900 or two to the
56th power
• 168-bits keys …
VPN Components: Security
 Authentication

• Determine if the sender is the authorized


person and if the data has been redirect or
corrupted
• User/System Authentication
• Data Authentication
VPN Components: Appliances
 Intrusion detection firewalls
• Monitors traffic crossing network parameters
and protects enterprises from unauthorized
access
• Packet-level firewall checks source and
destination
• Application-level firewall acts as a host
computer between the organization’s network
and the Internet
VPN PRODUCTIVITY AND
COST BENEFITS

How can companies benefit


from VPN?
VPN Productivity and Cost
Benefits: Benefits
 Extends geographic connectivity

 Boosts employee productivity

 Improves Internet security

 Scales easily
VPN Productivity and Cost
Benefit: Costs
 Costs associated with implementing VPN
• In House implementation
• Outsourced implementation
• Middle Ground implementation
QUALITY OF SERVICE
(QoS)

WHAT IS QoS?
What is QoS?
VPN Productivity and Cost
Benefits: Quality of Service
 Question: “Do I get acceptable response
times when I access my mission critical
applications from a remote office?”
QoS Options
 Two models are available for QoS
functionality:

• Differentiated Services Model (DiffServ)


• Integrated Services Model (IntServ)
Differentiated Services Model
(DiffServ)
Integrated Services Model
(IntServ)
THE FUTURE OF VPN

Where is VPN headed?


Future of VPN
 VPN popularity
• Companies choosing VPN
• Cost efficient?
• New way of communicating?
Future of VPN: Companies with
VPN
CONCLUSION
