The Checkmark VPN test is designed to ensure that VPN’s achieve a basic level of functionality in that they:

1. Allow a secure point to point link between two networks
2. Allow a secure point to point link between a roaming client and a network (optional)
3. Enforce a reasonable level of encryption and data integrity for the data contained within the VPN tunnel
4. Provide a secure key-exchange mechanism for all devices participating in a VPN
5. Provide authentication and access control mechanisms to restrict resource access on a per-user or per-group level (optional)
6. Provide packet filtering or proxy services within the tunnel to restrict tunnel traffic to specific protocols or source/destination points (optional)
