Trusted Network Connect
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2017) |
Trusted Network Connect (TNC) is an open architecture for network access control, promulgated by the Trusted Network Connect Work Group (TNC-WG) of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG).[1][2][3]
History
[edit]The TNC architecture was first introduced at the RSA Conference in 2005.[4] TNC was originally a network access control standard with a goal of multi-vendor endpoint policy enforcement.[5]
In 2009 TCG announced expanded specifications which extended the specifications to systems outside of the enterprise network.[6] Additional uses for TNC which have been reported include Industrial Control System (ICS), SCADA security,[7][8] and physical security.[9]
Specifications
[edit]Specifications introduced by the TNC Work Group:[10]
- TNC Architecture for Interoperability
- IF-IMC - Integrity Measurement Collector Interface
- IF-IMV - Integrity Measurement Verifier Interface[11]
- IF-TNCCS - Trusted Network Connect Client-Server Interface[12]
- IF-M - Vendor-Specific IMC/IMV Messages Interface
- IF-T - Network Authorization Transport Interface[13]
- IF-PEP - Policy Enforcement Point Interface[14]
- IF-MAP - Metadata Access Point Interface
- CESP - Clientless Endpoint Support Profile
- Federated TNC[6]

TNC Customer Adoption
[edit]The U.S. Army has planned to use this technology to enhance the security of its computer networks.[16]
The South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services has tested a TNC-SCAP integration combination in a pilot program.[17]
