IPsec Virtual Private Network Fundamentals eBook Download

An introduction to designing and configuring Cisco IPsec VPNs

Understand the basics of the IPsec protocol and learn implementation best practices Study up-to-date IPsec design, incorporating current Cisco innovations in the security and VPN marketplace Learn how to avoid common pitfalls related to IPsec deployment Reinforce theory with case studies, configuration examples showing how IPsec maps to real-world solutions

IPsec Virtual Private Network Fundamentals provides a basic working knowledge of IPsec on various Cisco routing and switching platforms. The book is written using a layered approach, starting with basic explanations of why IPsec was developed and the types of organizations relying on IPsec to secure data transmissions. The book covers the design and implementation of IPsec VPN architectures using an array of Cisco products, starting with basic concepts and proceeding to more advanced topics including high availability solutions and public key infrastructure (PKI).

A Lot of Information with a Slight Cisco Emphasis
The introduction to this book clearly states that it is intended for engineers, consultants, administrators and others who have an interest in securing their networks with Cisco routers and VPN products. (The book is from Cisco Press, isn't it?)

The explanations of VPN are quite well done, to be sure.

I get the feeling that the typical sysadmin who deploys IPsec between her 2 networks that need a VPN, won't actually need to know much of the cryptographic discussion in the book.
