Development of an Enhance Virtual Private Network for Secure Data Transmission

Eke Florence Ugbah, Amanze Bethran Chibuike

Abstract

The demand for secure data transmission has become critical as the digital landscape evolves, particularly in environments with resource-constrained devices such as Internet of Things (IoT) systems, mobile devices, and embedded systems. Traditional Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) often suffers from significant overhead, resulting in high latency, increased energy consumption, and reduced performance on such devices. The aim of this paper is to develop an Enhanced VPN, specifically for secure and efficient data transmission in constrained environments. The researcher was motivated by the need of having a Virtual Point Network, that works seamlessly even in poor operating conditions, by optimizing demands on the host station. Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) were adopted in achieving development of Enhanced VPN. This paper contributes to secure communication in low-power and high-mobility environments, such as IoT networks, remote monitoring systems, and mobile applications. By addressing the limitations of traditional VPNs, this paper paves the way for more efficient and scalable solutions in secure data communication.
