Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, VXLAN adopts the way of transmitting data in clear text, which creates certain security risks for using VXLAN to transmit data across regions. Therefore, as a gateway device provider, it has become a practical demand to provide a VXLAN mode that supports encrypted data transmission.

Embodiment Construction

[0051] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, specific implementations are now described in detail.

[0052] VXLAN uses plain text to transmit data. There are certain security risks for using VXLAN to transmit data across regions. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method that supports encrypted data transmission in VXLAN mode.

[0053] Such as figure 1 As shown, the gateway VXLAN can choose the encrypted data transmission method, and the VXLAN local end negotiation can choose encrypted data transmission. Before the local end that supports VXLAN encrypted data transmission sends data to the opposite end, it first tries to negotiate the encryption option, and starts data encryption after the negotiation is successful. transmission, including the following steps:

[0054] 1) The VXLAN local end sends an optional encryption request message to the peer end;

[0055] 2) The VXLAN local end waits for ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a gateway VXLAN selectable encrypted data transmission method. A VXLAN home terminal negotiates selectable encrypted data transmission, a home terminal supporting VXLAN encrypted data transmission tries to negotiate an encryption option before sending data to an opposite terminal, and starts data encryption transmission after negotiation succeeds, and the method comprisesthe following steps that the VXLAN home terminal sends a selectable encryption request message to the opposite terminal; the VXLAN home terminal waits for an optional encryption response message; theVXLAN home terminal sends an encrypted message of an agreed plaintext to the opposite terminal; the VXLAN home terminal waits for a key negotiation result message; and after negotiation, the VXLAN home terminal sends the data packet. The VXLAN supports encryptable negotiation and data transmission, and the gateway starts a VXLAN function to negotiate whether to select encryption or not with the opposite end VTEP; the gateway negotiates encryption detailed configuration with the opposite terminal and confirms the consistency of the secret key; the gateway and the opposite terminal start data encryption transmission; and a symmetric encryption mode is selected, so that the security is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for a gateway VXLAN to selectively encrypt data transmission. Background technique [0002] At present, VXLAN (Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network) is a tunneling technology that can establish a layer-2 Ethernet network tunnel on the basis of a layer-3 network, thereby realizing cross-regional layer-2 interconnection. [0003] VXLAN adopts the encapsulation format of encapsulating original Ethernet packets in UDP packets. Encapsulate the original Layer 2 data frame plus the VXLAN header into a UDP packet. The VXLAN header contains a VXLAN identifier (VNI, VXLAN Network Identifier), and only virtual machines on the same VXLAN can communicate with each other. [0004] At present, VXLAN adopts the way of transmitting data in plain text, which creates certain security risks for the use of VXLAN to transmit data across regions. Therefore, as a gateway equipment provider, it has become a practical demand to provide a VXL...
