This will be the first public demonstration of an interoperable virtual private network (VPN). The secure VPN will be demonstrated at the InteropNet Applications Forum at NetWorld+Interop 98 Atlanta from October 21-23 at the Georgia World Congress Center The Georgia World Congress Center or GWCC is the major convention center in Atlanta.

In addition to demonstrating its interoperable secure VPN solution over the InteropNet, with IPSec and ISAKMP/Oakley, RADGUARD will create a secure VPN between their booth (#904), the InteropNet Applications Forum, and the company's U.S. headquarters in New Jersey. RADGUARD's VPN will be joined by Information Resource Engineering (IRE), and the two companies will pass IPSec encrypted and authenticated traffic over a VPN tunnel using hypertext transfer protocol See HTTP. (protocol) Hypertext Transfer Protocol - (HTTP) The client-server TCP/IP protocol used on the World-Wide Web for the exchange of HTML documents. It conventionally uses port 80. Latest version: HTTP 1.1, defined in RFC 2068, as of May 1997. (HTTP HTTP in full HyperText Transfer Protocol Standard application-level protocol used for exchanging files on the World Wide Web. HTTP runs on top of the TCP/IP protocol. ). The encrypted web page being transmitted over the InteropNet will be displayed for attendees at the show. To create the VPN, RADGUARD has supplied the cIPro-VPN, a hardware-based IPSec gateway, and IRE has supplied SafeNet/Soft-PK, a public key encryption See public key cryptography. and authentication utility, and Windows 95/NT client software. "Show attendees will be able to witness, for the first time, an interoperable VPN created with ICSA-certified products from two different vendors," said Ronen Kenan, president of RADGUARD Inc.
