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.

 Became popular as more employees worked in


remote Locations

 Terminologies to understand how VPNs work.


Private Networks
&
Virtual Private Networks

 Employees can access the network


(Intranet) from remote locations.

 Secured networks.

 The Internet is used as the backbone for


VPNs

 Saves cost tremendously from reduction of


equipment and maintenance costs.

 Scalability
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.

 Datagrams – contains data, destination and


source information.

 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.

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

 SOCKS – is not used as much as the


ones above

Types of Implementations

What does “implementation” mean in


VPNs?

Three types:
 Intranet – Within an organization
 Extranet – Outside an organization
 Remote Access – Employee to Business
Virtual Private Networks (VPN) Basic Architecture
Device Types
What it means

Three types-
Hardware
Firewall
Software
Device Types: Hardware
Usually a VPN type of router

Pros Cons
• Highest network • Cost
throughput • Lack of
• Plug and Play flexibility
• Dual-purpose
Device Types: Firewall
More security?

Pros Cons
• “Harden” Operating • Still relatively
System costly
• Tri-purpose
• Cost-effective
Device Types: Software
Ideal for 2 end points not in same org.
Great when different firewalls implemented

Pros Cons
• Flexible • Lack of
• Low relative cost efficiency
• More labor
training
required
• Lower
ADVANTAGES
&
DISADVANTAGES
Advantages: Cost Savings
Eliminating the need for expensive long-
distance leased lines
Reducing the long-distance telephone
charges for remote access.
Transferring the support burden to the
service providers
Operational costs

Cisco VPN Savings Calculator


Advantages: Scalability
 Flexibility of growth

 Efficiency with broadband technology


Disadvantages
VPNs require an in-depth understanding of public
network security issues and proper deployment of
precautions

Availability and performance depends on factors


largely outside of their control

Immature standards

VPNs need to accommodate protocols other than


IP and existing internal network technology
Applications: Site-to-Site VPNs

Large-scale encryption between multiple


fixed sites such as remote offices and central
offices

Network traffic is sent over the branch office


Internet connection

This saves the company hardware and


management expenses
Site-to-Site VPNs
Applications: Remote Access
 Encrypted connections between mobile or remote
users and their corporate networks

 Remote user can make a local call to an ISP, as


opposed to a long distance call to the corporate
remote access server.

 Ideal for a telecommuter or mobile sales people.

 VPN allows mobile workers & telecommuters to


take advantage of broadband connectivity. i.e.
DSL Cable
Industries That May Use a VPN
 Healthcare: enables the transferring of confidential patient
information within the medical facilities & health care
provider

 Manufacturing: allow suppliers to view inventory & allow


clients to purchase online safely

 Retail: able to securely transfer sales data or customer info


between stores & the headquarters

 Banking/Financial: enables account information to be


transferred safely within departments & branches

 General Business: communication between remote


employees can be securely exchanged
Statistics From Gartner-Consulting*
Remote access for
employees working out 90%
of homes
Remote access for
employees while 79%
traveling
Percentages
Site-to-site connectivity
between offices 63%
Access to network for
business 50%
partners/customers

0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%

Some Businesses using a VPN

CVS Pharmaceutical Corporation upgraded their


frame relay network to an IP VPN

ITW Foilmark secured remote location orders,


running reports, & internet/intranet
communications w/ a 168-bit encryption by
switching to OpenReach VPN

Bacardi & Co. Implemented a 21-country, 44-


location VPN
Where Do We See VPNs Going in the Future?

VPNs are continually being enhanced.


Example: Equant NV

As the VPN market becomes larger, more


applications will be created along with more VPN
providers and new VPN types.

Networks are expected to converge to create an


integrated VPN

Improved protocols are expected, which will also


improve VPNs.
