Abstract
A data model for abstracting customer-defined VPN security policy information. By employing this model, a VPN node (computer system existing in a Virtual Private Network) can gather policy configuration information for itself through a GUY, or some distributed policy source, store this information in a system-defined database, and use this information to dynamically negotiate, create, delete, and maintain secure connections at the IP level with other VPN nodes.
