Week 8 Assignment – IPsec, SLL/TLS Standards, and VPN Security
Overview
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) provide a secure data flow between two endpoints. There are not only different types of VPNs, but there are also different Internet security standards for implementing security in these different VPN types.
In this assignment, you will classify the three different types of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). You will compare the features of the IPsec and SLL/TLS Internet security standards. You will then evaluate these two Internet security standards for implementing security in the three different types of VPNs.
Instructions
Write a 3–5-page paper in which you:
- Classify the three different types of Private Networks (VPNs).
- Distinguish the characteristics of each type in terms of configuration (e.g., host-to-host), transmission technology (e.g., multiplexing), and ease of implementation.
- Compare the two different Internet security standards of IPsec and SLL/TLS in terms of features they provide for security, strengths, and weaknesses.
- Evaluate the IPsec and SLL/TLS standards for implementing security in the three different types of
- VPNs.
- Your evaluation for each VPN type should include the VPN type, your proposed Internet standard for implementing security in this type of VPN, and the rationale behind your evaluation.
- Reflect on your learning experience in this assignment, the lessons you learned, and how this experience would apply to your personal or professional life.
