As I have been talking a lot about the coverage of the Trusted Computing Group’s (TCG) Trusted Network Connect (TNC) workgroup, and about the open source reaction to anything TCG-related, I thought it would be interesting to list some of the open source initiatives underway to support the TNC protocols.
To support these projects, the TCG [...]

I spoke too soon, the Interop round-up continues, this time with Curt Franklin giving his views. As with Jon Oltsik, one of his highlights was also NAC (Network Access Control) 2.0 and the Trusted Computing Group’s (TCG) IF-MAP (Interface for Metadata Access Point) protocol. He addresses the IT professional when he makes this recommendation for [...]
