A New Method for Creating Efficient Security Policies in Virtual Private Network

One of the most important protocols for implementing tunnels in order to take action of secure virtual private network is IPsec protocol. IPsec policies are used widely in order to limit access to information in security gateways or firewalls. The security treatment, namely (Deny, Allow or Encrypt) is done for outbound as well as inbound traffic by security policies. It is so important that they adjust properly. The current methods for security policies creation as seen in given security requirements are not efficient enough i.e. there are much more created policies than requirements. In this paper, we define a new method to decrease adopted security policies for a specific set of security requirements without any undesirable effect. Our measurement shows that security policies creation will be improved efficiently, and their updating time will be decreased.
