Improve network security using this comprehensive RSA Security-endorsed guidebook

Implement IPSec across a virtual private network and you'll ensure the highest level of network security available. This authoritative book explains IP security protocols, ways to implement these protocols and VPN interoperability. Written in conjunction with and fully endorsed by the experts at RSA Security, this book offers comprehensive coverage of the technological components of IPSec and its underlying architecture. It also includes a case study detailing the configuration of a VPN client and security gateway with PKI components. For safeguarding your system and improving security across your network, this is the most definitive guide to IPSec.

This book will show you how to:

• Understand the technological components of IPSec

• Get details on symmetric-key cryptographic algorithms-including AES and the other 4 AES finalists, CAST, Blowfish, IDEA, RC2, RC5, and Skipjack

• Assess the relative strength and speed of cryptographic algorithms

• Get details on elliptic curve cryptography, digital signature standard, Diffie-Hellman key exchange, hash functions and message authentication code

• Learn the differences between private and symmetric-key cryptosystems

• Understand PKI infrastructure and the managed certificate protocol

• Gain insight into Security Association (SA) and key management

• Implement VPN solutions in a variety of scenarios
