        Speaker: Lisa Lorenzin - Netscreen Technologies
        Topic:  How IPSec VPNs Work (and Don't)

===============================================================

Abstract:  
Ever wondered what, exactly, happens when you bring up an extranet
tunnel to your business partner?  Or why your remote access VPN client
has to be reconfigured when the home office adds a new subnet?  The
first part of the presentation will be an overview of IPSec VPN
terminology and concepts.  The second part will be a hands-on
demonstration - with full IKE trace, so we can see the communications in
both phases of the negotiation - of how an IPSec VPN tunnel is
established between two VPN gateways, including common problems that can
disrupt the negotiation process.

Bio: 
Lisa Lorenzin has been working in the information security field for
seven years and is currently a Senior Systems Engineer for NetScreen
Technologies, a leading developer of ASIC-based Internet security
systems and appliances.  Her experience in the enterprise (BCBSNC) and
service provider (InterLan / Utenzi) arenas has given her ample
opportunities to implement and troubleshoot IPSec VPNs.
