How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Virtual Private Networking Basics
What is a Virtual Private Network?
There have been many improvements in the Internet including Quality of Service, network
performance, and inexpensive technologies, such as DSL. But one of the most important advances
has been in Virtual Private Networking (VPN) Internet Protocol security (IPSec). IPSec is one of
the most complete, secure, and commercially available, standards-based protocols developed for
transporting data.
A VPN is a shared network where private data is segmented from other traffic so that only the
intended recipient has access. The term VPN was originally used to describe a secure connection
over the Internet. Today, however, VPN is also used to describe private networks, such as Frame
Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).
A key aspect of data security is that the data flowing across the network is protected by encryption
technologies. Private networks lack data security, which can allow data attackers to tap directly
into the network and read the data. IPSec-based VPNs use encryption to provide data security,
which increases the network’s resistance to data tampering or theft.
IPSec-based VPNs can be created over any type of IP network, including the Internet, Frame
Relay, ATM, and MPLS, but only the Internet is ubiquitous and inexpensive.
VPNs are traditionally used for:
• Intranets: Intranets connect an organization’s locations. These locations range from the
headquarters offices, to branch offices, to a remote employee’s home. Often this connectivity
is used for e-mail and for sharing applications and files. While Frame Relay, ATM, and MPLS
accomplish these tasks, the shortcomings of each limits connectivity. The cost of connecting
home users is also very expensive compared to Internet-access technologies, such as DSL or
cable. Because of this, organizations are moving their networks to the Internet, which is
inexpensive, and using IPSec to create these networks.
10. Virtual Private Networking Basics
2-2 Virtual Private Networking Basics
v1.0, October 2005
• Remote Access: Remote access enables telecommuters and mobile workers to access e-mail
and business applications. A dial-up connection to an organization’s modem pool is one
method of access for remote workers, but it is expensive because the organization must pay the
associated long distance telephone and service costs. Remote access VPNs greatly reduce
expenses by enabling mobile workers to dial a local Internet connection and then set up a
secure IPSec-based VPN communications to their organization.
• Extranets: Extranets are secure connections between two or more organizations. Common
uses for extranets include supply-chain management, development partnerships, and
subscription services. These undertakings can be difficult using legacy network technologies
due to connection costs, time delays, and access availability. IPSec-based VPNs are ideal for
extranet connections. IPSec-capable devices can be quickly and inexpensively installed on
existing Internet connections.
What Is IPSec and How Does It Work?
IPSec is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard suite of protocols that provides data
authentication, integrity, and confidentiality as data is transferred between communication points
across IP networks. IPSec provides data security at the IP packet level. A packet is a data bundle
that is organized for transmission across a network, and it includes a header and payload (the data
in the packet). IPSec emerged as a viable network security standard because enterprises wanted to
ensure that data could be securely transmitted over the Internet. IPSec protects against possible
security exposures by protecting data while in transit.
IPSec Security Features
IPSec is the most secure method commercially available for connecting network sites. IPSec was
designed to provide the following security features when transferring packets across networks:
• Authentication: Verifies that the packet received is actually from the claimed sender.
• Integrity: Ensures that the contents of the packet did not change in transit.
• Confidentiality: Conceals the message content through encryption.
11. Virtual Private Networking Basics
Virtual Private Networking Basics 2-3
v1.0, October 2005
IPSec Components
IPSec contains the following elements:
• Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP): Provides confidentiality, authentication, and
integrity.
• Authentication Header (AH): Provides authentication and integrity.
• Internet Key Exchange (IKE): Provides key management and Security Association (SA)
management.
Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
ESP provides authentication, integrity, and confidentiality, which protect against data tampering
and, most importantly, provide message content protection.
IPSec provides an open framework for implementing industry standard algorithms, such as SHA
and MD5. The algorithms IPSec uses produce a unique and unforgeable identifier for each packet,
which is a data equivalent of a fingerprint. This fingerprint allows the device to determine if a
packet has been tampered with. Furthermore, packets that are not authenticated are discarded and
not delivered to the intended receiver.
ESP also provides all encryption services in IPSec. Encryption translates a readable message into
an unreadable format to hide the message content. The opposite process, called decryption,
translates the message content from an unreadable format to a readable message. Encryption/
decryption allows only the sender and the authorized receiver to read the data. In addition, ESP has
an option to perform authentication, called ESP authentication. Using ESP authentication, ESP
provides authentication and integrity for the payload and not for the IP header.
Figure 2-1
12. Virtual Private Networking Basics
2-4 Virtual Private Networking Basics
v1.0, October 2005
The ESP header is inserted into the packet between the IP header and any subsequent packet
contents. However, because ESP encrypts the data, the payload is changed. ESP does not encrypt
the ESP header, nor does it encrypt the ESP authentication.
Authentication Header (AH)
AH provides authentication and integrity, which protect against data tampering, using the same
algorithms as ESP. AH also provides optional anti-replay protection, which protects against
unauthorized retransmission of packets. The authentication header is inserted into the packet
between the IP header and any subsequent packet contents. The payload is not touched.
Although AH protects the packet’s origin, destination, and contents from being tampered with, the
identity of the sender and receiver is known. In addition, AH does not protect the data’s
confidentiality. If data is intercepted and only AH is used, the message contents can be read. ESP
protects data confidentiality. For added protection in certain cases, AH and ESP can be used
together. In the following table, IP HDR represents the IP header and includes both source and
destination IP addresses.
Security Association
IPSec introduces the concept of the Security Association (SA). An SA is a logical connection
between two devices transferring data. An SA provides data protection for unidirectional traffic by
using the defined IPSec protocols. An IPSec tunnel typically consists of two unidirectional SAs,
which together provide a protected, full-duplex data channel.
The SAs allow an enterprise to control exactly what resources may communicate securely,
according to security policy. To do this an enterprise can set up multiple SAs to enable multiple
secure VPNs, as well as define SAs within the VPN to support different departments and business
partners.
Figure 2-2
13. Virtual Private Networking Basics
Virtual Private Networking Basics 2-5
v1.0, October 2005
Mode
SAs operate using modes. A mode is the method in which the IPSec protocol is applied to the
packet. IPSec can be used in tunnel mode or transport mode. Typically, the tunnel mode is used for
gateway-to-gateway IPSec tunnel protection, but transport mode is used for host-to-host IPSec
tunnel protection. A gateway is a device that monitors and manages incoming and outgoing
network traffic and routes the traffic accordingly. A host is a device that sends and receives
network traffic.
• Transport Mode: The transport mode IPSec implementation encapsulates only the packet’s
payload. The IP header is not changed. After the packet is processed with IPSec, the new IP
packet contains the old IP header (with the source and destination IP addresses unchanged)
and the processed packet payload. Transport mode does not shield the information in the IP
header; therefore, an attacker can learn where the packet is coming from and where it is going
to. Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 above show a packet in transport mode.
• Tunnel Mode: The tunnel mode IPSec implementation encapsulates the entire IP packet. The
entire packet becomes the payload of the packet that is processed with IPSec. A new IP header
is created that contains the two IPSec gateway addresses. The gateways perform the
encapsulation/decapsulation on behalf of the hosts. Tunnel mode ESP prevents an attacker
from analyzing the data and deciphering it, as well as knowing who the packet is from and
where it is going.
Note: .AH and ESP can be used in both transport mode and tunnel mode.

Key Management
IPSec uses the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol to facilitate and automate the SA setup and
the exchange of keys between parties transferring data. Using keys ensures that only the sender
and receiver of a message can access it.
IPSec requires that keys be re-created, or refreshed, frequently so that the parties can communicate
securely with each other. IKE manages the process of refreshing keys; however, a user can control
the key strength and the refresh frequency. Refreshing keys on a regular basis ensures data
confidentiality between sender and receiver.
Understand the Process Before You Begin
This manual provides examples of how to configure a secure IPSec VPN tunnel. This document
assumes the reader has a working knowledge of NETGEAR management systems.
NETGEAR, Inc. is a member of the VPN Consortium, a group formed to facilitate IPSec VPN
vendor interoperability. The VPN Consortium has developed specific scenarios to aid system
administrators in the often confusing process of connecting two different vendor implementations
of the IPSec standard. The examples in this manual follow the addressing and configuration
mechanics defined by the VPN Consortium. Additional information regarding inter-vendor
interoperability may be found at http://www.vpnc.org/interop.html.
It is a good idea to gather all the necessary information required to establish a VPN before you
begin the configuration process. You should understand whether the firmware is up-to-date, all of
the addresses that will be necessary, and all of the parameters that need to be set on both sides. Try
to understand any incompatibilities before you begin, so that you minimize any potential
complications which may arise from normal firewall or WAN processes.
If you are not a full-time system administrator, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the
mechanics of a VPN. The brief description below in this document will help. Other good sources
include:
• The NETGEAR VPN Tutorial – http://www.netgear.com/planetvpn/pvpn_2.html
• The VPN Consortium – http://www.vpnc.org/

VPN Process Overview
Even though IPSec is standards-based, each vendor has its own set of terms and procedures for
implementing the standard. Because of these differences, it may be a good idea to review some of
the terms and the generic processes for connecting two gateways before diving into to the
specifics.
Network Interfaces and Addresses
The VPN gateway is aptly named because it functions as a “gatekeeper” for each of the computers
connected on the Local Area Network behind it.
In most cases, each gateway will have a “public” facing address (WAN side) and a “private” facing
address (LAN side). These addresses are referred to as the “network interface” in documentation
regarding the construction of VPN communication. Please note that the addresses used in the
example.
Interface Addressing
This document uses example addresses provided the VPN Consortium. It is important to
understand that you will be using addresses specific to the devices that you are attempting to
connect via IPSec VPN.
It is also important to make sure the addresses do not overlap or conflict. That is, each set of
addresses should be separate and distinct.

It will also be important to know the subnet mask of both gateway LAN Connections. Use the
worksheet in Appendix A to gather the necessary address and subnet mask information to aid in
the configuration and troubleshooting process.
Firewalls
It is important to understand that many gateways are also firewalls. VPN tunnels cannot function
properly if firewall settings disallow all incoming traffic. Please refer to the firewall instructions
for both gateways to understand how to open specific protocols, ports, and addresses that you
intend to allow.

Setting Up a VPN Tunnel Between Gateways
An SA, frequently called a tunnel, is the set of information that allows two entities (networks, PCs,
routers, firewalls, gateways) to “trust each other” and communicate securely as they pass
information over the Internet.
The SA contains all the information necessary for Gateway A to negotiate a secure and encrypted
communication stream with Gateway B. This communication is often referred to as a “tunnel.”
The gateways contain this information so that it does not have to be loaded onto every computer
connected to the gateways.

Each gateway must negotiate its Security Association with another gateway using the parameters
and processes established by IPSec. As illustrated below, the most common method of
accomplishing this process is via the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol which automates some
of the negotiation procedures. Alternatively, you can configure your gateways using manual key
exchange, which involves manually configuring each paramter on both gateways.
The IPSec software on Host A initiates the IPSec process in an attempt to communicate with
Host B. The two computers then begin the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) process.
IKE Phase I.
a. The two parties negotiate the encryption and authentication algorithms to use in the IKE
SAs.
b. The two parties authenticate each other using a predetermined mechanism, such as
preshared keys or digital certificates.
c. A shared master key is generated by the Diffie-Hellman Public key algorithm within the
IKE framework for the two parties. The master key is also used in the second phase to
derive IPSec keys for the SAs.
IKE Phase II.
a. The two parties negotiate the encryption and authentication algorithms to use in the IPSec
SAs.
b. The master key is used to derive the IPSec keys for the SAs. Once the SA keys are created
and exchanged, the IPSec SAs are ready to protect user data between the two VPN
gateways.

Data transfer. Data is transferred between IPSec peers based on the IPSec parameters and keys
stored in the SA database.
IPSec tunnel termination. IPSec SAs terminate through deletion or by timing out.
VPNC IKE Security Parameters
It is important to remember that both gateways must have the identical parameters set for the
process to work correctly. The settings in these examples follow the examples given for Scenario 1
of the VPN Consortium.
VPNC IKE Phase I Parameters
The IKE Phase 1 parameters used:
• Main mode
• TripleDES
• SHA-1
• MODP group 1
• pre-shared secret of "hr5xb84l6aa9r6"
• SA lifetime of 28800 seconds (eight hours)
VPNC IKE Phase II Parameters
The IKE Phase 2 parameters used in Scenario 1 are:
• TripleDES
• SHA-1
• ESP tunnel mode
• MODP group 1
• Perfect forward secrecy for rekeying
• SA lifetime of 28800 seconds (one hour)

Testing and Troubleshooting
Once you have completed the VPN configuration steps you can use computers, which are located
behind each of the gateways, to ping various addresses on the LAN-side of the other gateway.
You can troubleshoot connections using the VPN status and log details on the NETGEAR gateway
to determine if IKE negotiation is working. Common problems encountered in setting up VPNs
include:
• Parameters may be configured differently on Gateway A vs. Gateway B.
• Two LANs set up with similar or overlapping addressing schemes.
• So many required configuration parameters mean errors such as mistyped information or
mismatched parameter selections on either side are more likely to happen.
