Using L2TP Protocol in Cloud Infrastructure with IoT for Secure and Robust Communication

Abstract

Security is the major issue in networking world and it is extremely critical for business continuity. In this paper, VPN is deployed between virtual Cloud and physical IoT devices to obtain faster communication with security allowing transferring of data proficiently and safely. L2TP technology is used to achieve VPN connectivity with two phase authentication and encryption of data, which results as a secure and fast tunnel for data transfer minimizing time from 240ms to 140ms. This will provide a new way to transmit data securely and in less time. Other VPN technologies such as IPsec and SSL can be incorporated with this technique, which can further enhance the data rate and make the connection more secure.
