Background

The desire for a mobile version of the CherryTree VPN server was first
raised by COG/NOD Cherry Blossom users in 2010

WG tasked the Cherry Blossom contractor to perform a study of the
concept. SRI delivered a study report “Deployable Cherry Blossom VPN
Server” in January 2011

Cherry Blossom v5.0 System Requirements Specification (SRS) was
created in October 2011 and updated in February and March 2012 to
include a formal requirement for a mobile VPN server capability

Fedora Core 10 was specified as the VPN server OS

A formal Critical Design Review (CDR) was held on 22 March 2012 at
the contractor facility

•
WGB held two meetings with COG/OSD/CNB, one involving a secure
telephone conversation with the CB contractor, in April 2012 to discuss
infrastructure implications of hosting the mobile VPN server on ICON
