IF-Map is Facebook for endpoint devices

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 specification.

I’m not really sure how well that analogy works for me – if IF-MAP is Facebook, then what is Farmville? – but regardless, the rest of the article is a good read.
