SKIP

 

SKIP

Simple Key-Management for Internet Protocol – SKIP differs from ISAKMP

 

in the area of negotiation. In SKIP, all of the security parameters are identified

 

within each SKIP secured packet in the form of a SKIP header. The

 

cryptographic algorithms defining the VPN services in a SKIP VPN are

 

predefined, instead of negotiated dynamically as in ISAKMP.

Smart Card

A special type of credit-card like authentication device (assigned to an

 

individual user) that offers a greater degree of private network access security.

Split Tunneling

Split tunneling allows the remote client to simultaneously maintain both a VPN

 

(secure) connection and a clear connection. This function is active by default,

 

however, disabling Split Tunneling turns it off allowing only secure VPN traffic

 

from the remote client’s computer. Control of Split Tunneling is normally set

 

when the Dyna-Policy configuration download to the remote client’s computer

 

occurs.

SSL

Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol that provides authentication for servers and

 

browsers as well as secure communications between a web server and

 

browser. Used by the VPNmanager Console to communication with the security

 

gateways and the Directory Server.

Syslog

Syslog enables each security gateway in the VPN to provide logging data to a

 

specified destination for historical purposes.

T

 

Triple DES

A cryptographic algorithm based on DES that encrypts a block of data three

 

times with different keys.

U

 

User Groups

User Groups are logical groups in which individual VPN user members reside.

 

User Groups have a single-level hierarchy. Users can belong to more than one

 

User Group.

V

 

VPN

Virtual Private Network. A VPN allows the sending of sensitive, secured data

 

through an unsecure network like the Internet by using dynamically created

 

connections between member of the VPN.
