  1. Home Workers Node How to extend Intranet security to the home

  2. Requirements • Secure enough to be acceptable by intranet security officers • intrusion • denial of service • Convenient enough to be acceptable by employees • intranet should feel local at home • full internet access

  3. Evil spouse Local net Evil ISP employee e-box Access net Evil hacker ISP Internet Who cares Firewall Intranet Resource (e.g. Web) System overview Client (e.g. PC)

  4. Universe splitter • DNS requests are intercepted • Intranet names are assigned a local private range IP address • Name + IP nr. registered at guard • Packages with these addresses are forwarded to guard • Guard tunnels packages if profile allows • NAT used for Internet access

  5. ? people.ericsson.se 10.0.0.14=people.ericsson.se ? 10.0.0.14 GET ? Ab%$12AnC^6as*mS (SSL) ? 195.16.78.12 GET Logical view ? www.apple.com Client (e.g. PC) Guard DNS DNS 10.0.0.14 ! 17.254.0.91 ! ? www.apple.com 17.254.0.91 ! e-box Proxy device Guard ? 17.254.0.91 GET www. apple. com Firewall proxy people. ericsson. se Profiles

  6. Spouse attack • Only defined local clients can access guard services • Profile at firewall defines limited resource access • Auditing • Login can be strengthened by SMS login

  7. ISP attack • Eavesdropping impossible due to SSL link between guard and firewall • Denial of service can be prevented with multiple ISPs

  8. Hacker attack • Private IP range used for intranet aliases are skipped by every router • e-box does not allow remote login • No forwarding of external packets via guard • Only access is from client on local net. This requires physical access (e-box alarm system?)

  9. Guard DNS • Act as DNS server for local net • Detect requests for intranet services • Assign private IP number as alias • Inform guard of assignment • If not known, forward to system DNS • Simple package, can be written in Java (IBM has done it)

  10. Proxy device • Intercept IP packets in guard range • Push packets to Guard • Very simple Linux device driver. Many examples available • Written in C

  11. Guard • Create an SSL tunnel over the internet to the firewall • Authenticate secure • Inform firewall of private aliases • Forward packets both ways • SSL software freely available

  12. Firewall • Accept tunnels from guards • Authenticate • Forward packets if they are allowed by the profile of the e-box • Manage the profiles of the employee • Certificates • Self care Company policies • Standard solutions?

  13. Strengths • Allows any type of client • PCs • Web pads • Offers full internet access • games, LDAP, applets • Allows multiple intranets if e-box is trusted • No special cards

  14. Weaknesses • Local net is not fully secure • No standard software • New concept, requires convincing security officers
