The risks of network security continues to linger in a rapidly expanding age of electronic commerce were huge volumes of sensitive corporate and personal data is constantly being transmitted over fixed and wireless networks, exposing legitimate network users to unwarranted network infiltration’s by unscrupulous individuals. IP Security provides a secure solution to the problem of network security breeches and provides the key benefits of reduced costs and flexibility on traditional wide area networks. If you are evaluating or implementing an IP Security solution, this two day course will focus on providing you with an independent approach by examining the essential components of ~IP Security and VPNs to give you an outstanding grasp of current standards and technologies available to fully achieve your technology and business goals. Objectives: This comprehensive and interactive course will enable you to: Learn how to effectively deploy an integrated VPN based service Improve performance and reduce downtimes to enhance network services Develop flexible methods in deploying mobile computing, teleworking and branch networking Design and Implement secure, cost-effective extranet connections with business partners/customers Reduce communications costs and ongoing cost of ownership and determine the ROI Manage and maintain an effective VPN solution Day One Business Opportunities and Benefits of VPNs This section will determine the business opportunities in the deployment of VPN solutions. Delegates will evaluate the return on investment that a VPN service is expected to generate and the key business markets for this form of service provision. The true costs of implementation of VPNs will be examined, modelling the various VPN services and cost of ownership. VPNs target market Key drivers of VPN uptake Success factors for VPNs VPN benefits Winning business models for operators VPN Access models Open Internet/walled garden/sandbox Pricing policy Revenue saving and sharing VPNs in Mobile communication Supporting the 21st century flexible workforce New classes of applications VPN Scaling & Integration VPN & Wireless LANs VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKING STRUCTURE The concepts of IP Networking and the VPN technologies will be examined. In addition the concepts and requirements of IP Security – IPSec will be explored. Motivation behind VPNs IP Security – IPSec IP Sec specifications The need for Authentication Use of Authentication Header AH Header Format and Fields Normalised Fields AH Modes of Operation Data integrity and AH AH Processing and Procedures Encryption requirements The need for ESP ESP headers and packet format Modes of ESP usage ESP Algorithms selection ESP and / or AH authentication Key Management Requirements ISAKMP and OAKLEY ISAKMP Headers ISAKMP Phases Negotiation Procedures Exchange Types and their Usage Key Management & Exchange – IKE Different IKE options and modes Two Phases Key Exchange Benefits IKE & Subnets Maximum Key Exchanges IKE Phases IKE Modes: Main; Aggressive; Quick; New Group IKE & OAKLEY groups QoS requirements in VPNs IPSec VPN With Tokens/Smartcards & Biometrics Integration With Third party Authentication Servers Day Two IMPLEMENTING Virtual Private Networks The Project cycle from planning and design through implementation are explored. The various options, hardware/software manufacturers and services providers are evaluated for service selection.
