SAFE VPN: IPSec Virtual Private Networks in Depth
The "SAFE VPN: IPSec Virtual Private Networks in Depth" white paper discusses in detail the design and security of IPSec VPNs, including specific design considerations and best-practice recommendations for enterprise IPSec VPN deployment. This white paper considers VPN design at various levels, from the remote-user network design all the way up to a distributed large network VPN design. The design objectives used in the SAFE VPN white paper include
- The need for secure connectivity
- Reliability, performance, and scalability of the design
- Options for high availability
- Authentication of users and devices in the VPN
- Secure management of the VPN and devices attached
- Security and attack mitigation before and after IPSec tunnels
