NIST SP 800-113 Guide to SSL VPNs

by National Institute of Standards and Technology

NIST SP 800-113 Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) virtual private networks (VPN) provide secure remote access to an organization’s resources. A VPN is a virtual network, built on top of existing physical networks, that can provide a secure communications mechanism for data and other information transmitted between two endpoints. Because a VPN can be used over existing networks such as the Internet, it can facilitate the secure transfer of sensitive data across public networks. An SSL VPN consists of one or more VPN devices to which users connect using their Web browsers. The traffic between the Web browser and the SSL VPN device is encrypted with the SSL protocol or its successor, the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. Why buy an eBook when you can download a PDF for free? First you gotta find it and make sure it’s the latest version, not always easy. It’s much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com Unlike a PDF, this eBook allows easy page navigation because we bookmarked the Chapters and Appendices. (Don’t judge based on the free sample because that functionality is not activated on the free sample.) Once you buy a copy you will see how easy it is to get to the information you seek - fast.
