IPSecVPNon a Android Phone Group 1 AvinashBhashyam Axel Christiansen
Group Project Description • Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a framework of open standards for ensuring private communication over the virtual public network. • The goal of the project is to Use IPsec to create a Virtual Private Network(VPN) on a Android phone.
Tasks allocation • AvinashBhashyam • Research (50%) • Programing (75%) • Report (25%) • Axel Christiansen • Research (50%) • Programing (25%) • Report (75%)
Technical Details • Confidentiality is provided by using Ipsec encryption over a VPN Network. • Integrity checking is to be provided by using the HMAC-MD5. • Authentication is provided by the pre-shared keys and Digital Signatures. • Reply protection and the access control are to provide by periodically changing the pre-shared keys. The key exchange can be performed using the IKE-v2 protocol.
Technical Details (Cont.) • The VPN can be setup in the following manner: • Android Phone to Android Phone • This where the Calling Android Phone is the control for the VPN. • Software,: StrongSwan 4.5, Linux, Android 2.0 Emulator and Android SDK,. • C compiler. • Hardware : Basic Computer with network conative and Android Phone.
Risks and Benefits • Novel aspects of this project: • Setting up a IPsec VPN from mobile phones • Risks/challenges: • Processing power of the mobile is much lower than that of a traditional computer. • Flaws in algorithms,software or configuration setting can be exploited by attackers • Potential applications & benefits: • Data can be communicated securely over public networks. • Sophisticated Mobile Apps can be developed.
Tasks Accomplished by Now • Software has been incorporated in to the android phone. • Demo has been somewhat setup.
Conclusion • Successful implementation of the project has the potential to led to developing Sophisticated mobile applications. • Project may lead to a potential public application.
Demo • A project Demo using Virtual Terminals and VPN gateway.
