a virtual private network (vpn) creates a secure, encrypted connection over a less secure network, such as the public internet it allows users to send and receive data as if their computing devices were directly connected to a private network, thereby providing enhanced security, privacy, and access to restricted resources vpn integrations integrating a vpn with cryptohub provides a robust framework for securing the cryptographic keys and certificates that underpin the vpn's security this ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of the data transmitted over the vpn vpn integrations handle several important tasks, including securing cryptographic keys protect the private keys used for vpn authentication and data encryption within a fips validated hardware boundary managing the key lifecycle automate the generation, rotation, and revocation of cryptographic keys used by vpn gateways and clients enforcing security policies define and enforce policies for cryptographic operations, ensuring that all vpn connections adhere to organizational security requirements authenticating vpn clients strengthen client authentication by storing client certificates and keys on a hardware token or a centralized key management server simplifying certificate management streamline the issuance, renewal, and revocation of digital certificates for vpn infrastructure and users centralizing audit and logging provide a unified audit trail of all cryptographic operations and key management activities related to the vpn enhancing performance offload cryptographic operations from the vpn gateway to a dedicated hsm, improving performance and reducing latency integrations the following guide helps you leverage the full capabilities of your vpn infrastructure, providing step by step instructions and best practices for seamless integration with vpn systems openvpn docid\ nroiy4agwtddvbzlkbezz
