In this era of cloud computing, data is accessed from anywhere anytime. For security concerns, data is exposed while data is at rest and data is in motion. Data in motion is referred to data in transition as it is moved from a stored state to same or another form to a different location. This mobility nature of data has driven the need for secure remote access from remote locations, end points, platforms and environments. Leased lines are supposed to be the most secured connection for remotely accessing the data but at the same time, it is not the cost effective solution and it restricts user’s ubiquitous connectivity. As a cost effective measure to attain security and confidentiality of data, organizations are using legacy Internet Protocol Security (IPSEC) and Secure Socket layer (SSL) VPN solutions to remotely access their data. In this paper, a VPN Tunnel inside another VPN Tunnel is being proposed for higher security for the data in transition.}, }
