OpenVPN-NL (with PolarSSL) approved by the Dutch Government
Date: 18 Nov 2011OpenVPN-NL released with PolarSSL as crypto-core
It's official! The Dutch government officially approved a hardened version of OpenVPN for use as a 'Departementaal Vertrouwelijk' (Restricted) VPN product. The cool part about it is that it used PolarSSL as the cryptographic core, instead of the standard OpenSSL. The Dutch IT security company Fox-IT adapted the standard OpenVPN to include an abstraction layer and include PolarSSL as it's core.
The resulting OpenVPN-NL is fully open source and available at the official OpenVPN-NL website hosted by Fox-IT. In order to describe all aspects, the Dutch secret service (AIVD) has released an official deployment advisory.
Shout-out
As you can understand, this development is very exciting! The effort that Fox-IT put into adapting both OpenVPN and PolarSSL is amazing! Thank you guys, you rock!
