VPN - A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. Applications running across a VPN may therefore benefit from the functionality, security, and management of the private network. Encryption is a common, although not an inherent, part of a VPN connection

Cryptool - an open-source project that focuses on the free e-learning software CrypTool illustrating cryptographic and cryptanalytic concepts. According to 'Hakin9', CrypTool is worldwide the most widespread e-learning software in the field of cryptology.
