Geo-Encryption - A New Direction to Secure Traditional SSL VPN

Abstract

A novel improved VPN (Virtual Private Network) system based on SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol is discussed to overwhelm the defect of traditional SSL VPN. The concept, critical technique and working process of the geo-secured SSL based VPN are presented in details because they are very important to meet enhanced security requirement which is originally a traditional SSL VPN. Based on the GPS (Global Position System) technology a new scheme to improve the security of SSL VPN is proposed. This scheme enhances current security applications granting access to sensible information and privileges to execute orders only to entities that are in a trusted location. Moreover this system authenticate authorized user but also location of the authorized user.
