During the 2000 edition of the IPsec Summit, HSC showcased a very successfull interoperability platform, demonstrating with several vendors that some VPN functions could interoperate at the gateway level. 
During the 2001 edition of the conference next October the experience will be renewed but with very important technical extensions. 
The demonstration platform will perform : 

A) VPN interoperability (gateway to gateway)
B) Certificate based authentication (PKI compliance) 
C) Hybrid IPv4/IPv6 based network 

The demonstration platform, developped and managed by HSC, is still welcoming vendors wishing to demonstrate that their IPsec systems are able to interoperate at the gateway level. Vendors wishing to connect clients on a distant access mode are also welcome.

The demonstrartion network will also integrate a certificate authority component (PKI) 
Above all, the network will be able to implement IPv4 and IPv6 tunnels.
