Trusted Network Connect (TNC) HOWTO¶

The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) has defined and released an open architecture and a growing set of standards for endpoint integrity called Trusted Network Connect.

strongSwan supports both the older XML-based IF-TNCCS 1.1 "TNC Client-Server Interface" and the latest IF-TNCCS-2.0 "TLV Bindings" but currently not the IF-TNCCS SoH 1.0 "State of Health Protocol Bindings" used by Microsoft's Network Access Protection (NAP) framework. The TCG IF-TNCCS 2.0 protocol is equivalent to the IETF "Posture Broker (PB) Protocol Compatible with Trusted Network Connect" (PB-TNC) defined by RFC 5793.
