Abstract
Group Virtual Private Networks (Group VPNS) are provided for different types of machines in a data processing network. Security groups are defined by a security policy for each member. Security policies and encryption keys are deployed to members of a security group using an IPSec network infrastructure with authentication via VPN mechanisms. The group VPNs provide a trusted IP network that can leverage and co-exist with security access control technologies, such as endpoint security that controls client network access or application security that controls user access to enterprise applications.
