Webinar

Abstract: A Virtual Private Network (VPN) protocol establishes a secure "tunnel" between two parties on the Internet, providing a private encrypted channel while using public networks. Several VPN protocols have been developed and are widely used, such as IPsec and OpenVPN. In this talk, we present WireGuard, a state-of-the-art VPN protocol that achieves better performances and improved ease of use. After an introduction to VPNs and the network settings, we are going to explore WireGuard's Authentication Key Exchange protocol, based on the Noise framework, and discuss the cryptographic properties achieved.
