Virtual Private Networks (VPN) Basic Architecture

WHAT IS VPN ?
A virtual private network (VPN) is a computer network in which some of the links between nodes are carried by open connections or virtual circuits in some larger network (e.g., the Internet) as opposed to running across a single private network. The link-layer protocols of the virtual network are said to be tunneled through the larger network.

What a VPN needs ?

VPNs must be encrypted VPNs must be authenticated No one outside the VPN can alter the VPN All parties to the VPN must agree on the security properties
o so no one can read it

VPN means :I dont care how you connect

Private Networks vs. 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

TYPES OF VPN
Intranet VPN. With in organization Extranet VPN.Outside organization Remote access VPN. Employee to Business VLL-Virtual leased lines. VPRN-virtual private routed network. VPDN-virtual private dial-up network. VPLS-virtual private LAN segments.

Device Types
What it means 3 types Hardware Firewall Software

13

Four Protocols used in VPN

PPTP -- Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol L2TP -- Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol IPsec -- Internet Protocol Security SOCKS It is not used as much as the ones above
14

 PPTP: Free from Microsoft

15

Link Layer: L2TP for VPDN (Vir Pvt Dial Net)

16

IPSEC Key Exchange (IKE)

17

ADVANTAGES OF VPN
Cost saving Scalability AND Flexibility Improve Security Reduce Transit Time For Remote Users Operational costs Extend Geographic Connectivity
18

DISADVANTAGES OF VPN
Immature standards VPNs require an in-depth understanding of public network security issues and proper deployment of precautions VPNs need to accommodate protocols other than IP and existing internal network technology Availability and performance depends on factors largely outside of their control
19

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 Enables account information transferred safely within departments & branches

Banking/Financial:

to

be

General Business: Communication between remote employees can

be securely exchanged

FUTURE ASPECT
SECURITY HIGH AVAILABILITY SCALABILITY QOS ( QUALITY OF SERVICE )

CONCLUSION
From this we can conclude that VPN provides a very safe , secure and cost-effective communication infrastructure.
