Lisa Lorenzin from Juniper Networks posted to the official Trusted Computing Group blog regarding the recent TNC PlugFest focusing on TNC IF-MAP Binding for SOAP. I’ve heard about these bi-annual events before, and they do seem like a lot of hard work but fun! It mentions that Open Source projects also participated, but it didn’t [...]

CyberMedia India Online recently published an interesting interview with Steve Hanna of Juniper Networks (he’s co-chair of the Trusted Network Connect working group, not the whole TCG as noted in the article!) on cyber attacks in India. India is an interesting case as they are being attacked by foreign governments, or at least groups funded [...]

I’m a bit baffled by exactly what the benefit is regarding the recent announcement by Triumfant that they have worked with Juniper Networks to integrate TNC into SCAP. I’ve read the article twice and followed all the links, but I’m sadly not much the wiser! Perhaps this is the key: It may sound elemental, but [...]

Sorry I’m a bit slow with the news, but the Trusted Computing Group’s Trusted Multi-Tenant Infrastructure Work Group (that’s longhand for Cloud Security, basically) has now publically launched! The TCG has also published a white paper on Cloud Computing and Security – A Natural Match, that discusses why you want a TPM in the cloud, [...]

An interesting article on the Trusted Computing Group’s (TCG) Infrastructure-Metadata Access Point (IF-MAP) specification has the curious quote that I have used as the title for this article: "IF-Map is Facebook for endpoint devices," said Matt Webster, product management director at Lumeta and cochair of TCG’s Trusted Network Connect (TNC) workgroup, which developed the IF-MAP [...]

The official Trusted Computing Group blog recently announced that the certification program for Trusted Network Connect is now up and running. The first products to get certified are two devices from Juniper Networks and the TNC@FHH open source implementation of the TNC protocol. I think it’s great from not just a purely technical viewpoint that [...]

Network World recently published an article by Andreas M. Antonopoulos looking at how security works (or doesn’t) in the cloud. The basis will be NAC, Network Access Control, as: With NAC you have endpoints (laptops, smartphones, desktops, printers) connecting to switches ad-hoc and in a transient fashion. Security must be coordinated between the stuff that [...]

I seem to be coming across a lot of video recently, so here is Steve Hanna doing a keynote at Interop Mumbai 2009 on Coordinated Security: A New Paradigm. I got the link from Fix Internet Problems, but I’ll directly inline the five-part YouTube videos into the post.
