Securing Wargames System Using Effective Virtual Private Network | Bentham Science

摘要

Background: Nowadays, most of the governments and military agencies are using wargames.Data breaches using cyber wargames have mounted to an alarming level and heavy pressureon systems. Effective Virtual Private Network (VPN) is used as an important measure to secure datatransmission against cyber incidents. By using VPN, organizations are able to transfer their servicessecurely over the Internet.Methods: Recent publications and patent are reviewed to find new techniques developed for using aVPN to move non-secure public network resources into a secure private network in order to getmaximum benefits.Results: The aim of this work is to customize a standard VPN to a new extended one. The new extendedsoftware is called EVPNSWS (Effective VPN for Securing Wargames System). EVPNSWSis applied for wargames application. Wargame is applied to work with the wired and wireless connection.In case of wireless connection, EVPNSWS enables ad-hoc VPNs scenarios. Both fightingsides of wargames application by using EVPNSWS transmit a small data size through web-basedapplication system. Implementation results tell us EVPNSWS able to transfer data between twosides of wargames with the same security level in a reasonable time.Conclusion: EVPNSWS is suitable for both fighting sides of wargames application. It enables adhocVPNs because it is easy to configure and install. Transmission time for both sides of wargame isreasonable particularly with transmitting small data size. EVPNSWS was not built for a specific targetenvironment so it is scalable, you can use it in other environments. Finally, all these benefits areachieved with the same security level.
