Secure virtual private networks: the future of data communications

The federated database – a basis for biobank-based post-genome studies, integrating phenome and genome data from 600 000 twin pairs in Europe

“…To maximize security, all unneeded connections and network protocols are disabled and centers can only connect to the Hub. Connections are made secure using virtual private network (VPN) tunnels, 10,11 which are initiated from the data-providing centers.…”

ProTru: a provenance‐based trust architecture for wireless sensor networks

“…Development of security practices for networks has always been a popular research area . However, trust in WSNs is an open and challenging research area.…”

Better Securing an Infrastructure for Telework

“…This firewall sits between its internal network and the Internet communications environment. The XYZ firewall serves as a gateway, blocking an unauthorized remote user from accessing the corporation's network if the remote user does not have a valid IP address (Herscovitz, 1999). Because the firewall functions on the network and transport layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model, remote users are able to authenticate to the firewall, receive an IP address that is valid for the local subnet, and then authenticate to the XYZ Citrix server as if they were physically connected to the XYZ in-house network.…”
