Abstract :
A variety of authentication methods to verify the identity of valid users can be implemented with IPSec (IP security), including shared secret, token cards and digital certificates. For a large extranet implementation, the easiest method is public key infrastructure (PKI) using digital certificates. This article gives telecommunications managers, network planners and engineers a more detailed look at how PKI works in a virtual private network (VPN) environment.
