Elements of Security
Identity
Accurately identify users
Determine what users are allowed to do
Integrity
Ensure network availability Provide perimeter security Ensure privacy

By exchanging public keys, two devices can determine a new unique key (the secret key) known only to them

Provides dynamic or static translation of private addresses to registered IP addresses Eliminates readdressing overheadLarge admin. cost benefit Conserves addressesHosts can share a single registered IP address for all external communications via port-level multiplexing Permits use of a single IP address range in multiple intranets Hides internal addresses

Ensure the network

infrastructure remains available
TCP Intercept Route authentication
www.cisco.com
11-21
TCP Intercept
Request Intercepted Connection Established
Connection Transferred
Protects networks against denial of service attacks TCP SYN flooding can overpower server and cause it to deny service, exhaust memory, or waste processor cycles TCP Intercept protects network by intercepting TCP connection requests and replying on behalf of the destination
www.cisco.com
11-22
Route Authentication
Home Gateway
Internet
Trusted Source
Enables routers to identify one another and verify each others legitimacy before accepting route updates Ensures that routers receive legitimate update information from a trusted source
www.cisco.com
11-23
IntegrityPerimeter Security
Integrity also means ensuring the safety of the network devices and the flows of information between them Control access to critical network applications, data, and services
Access control lists, firewall technologies, content filtering, CBAC, authentication
CBAC = Context Based Access Control
www.cisco.com
11-24
Access Lists
Standard
Filter source address only Permit/deny entire protocol suite
Extended
Filter source, destination addresses Inbound or outbound Port number Permit/deny specific protocols Reflexive Time-based

11-25
What Is a Firewall?
All traffic from inside to outside and vice versa must pass through the firewall Only authorized traffic, as defined by the local security policy, is allowed in or out
www.cisco.com
11-27
Proxy Service
To the outside world, it appears as if all sessions terminate at a single host.
Proxy servers hide IP addresses, so they are not exposed to the outside world. Certain proxy servers also can examine content, so they can limit what can be done and what can not be done

What Is IPSec?
Network-layer encryption and authentication
Open standards for ensuring secure private communications over any IP network, including the Internet Data protected with network encryption, digital certification, and device authentication
Implemented transparently in network infrastructure Includes routers, firewalls, PCs, and servers Scales from small to very large networks

IPSec Everywhere!

IKEInternet Key Exchange

IKE is the mechanism IPSec uses to set up Security Associations (SAs) IPSec provides the packet level processing while IKE negotiates security associations IKE does 3 things: Negotiates its own policy Performs an exchange of key-material using authenticated DiffieHellman DES = Data Encryption Standard Negotiates the IPSec SA MD5 = Message Digest algorithm 5
3DES, MD5, and RSA Signatures, OR IDEA, SHA, and DSS Signatures, OR Blowfish, SHA, and RSA Encryption
RSA = Rivest-Shamir-Adleman algorithm IDEA = International Data Encryption Algorithm SHA = Secure Hash Algorithm DSS = Digital Signature Standard
IDEA, SHA, and DSS Signatures

How IPSec Uses IKE

1. Outbound packet from Alice to BobNo IPSec security association yet
4. Packet is sent from Alice to Bob protected by IPSec SA

2. Router As IKE begins negotiation with router Bs IKE

3. Negotiation complete; router A and router B now have complete IPSec SAs in place

EncryptionDES and 3DES

Data Encryption Standard
Widely adopted standard with IPSec Encrypts plain text, which becomes cyphertext DES performs 16 rounds of encryption Triple DES (3DES)
The 56-bit DES algorithm runs three times
Accomplished on a VPN client, server, router, or firewall
