Weby: Network Access Control (NAC)

NAC (Network Access Control) is, as the name implies, about controlling "who" is allowed access to the server and "under what conditions".

The "who" aspect is already covered by the means to effect strong authentication. The "under what conditions" is really the crux in NAC. The condition must be verifiable and the client must not be in a situation to lie. And that can only be done using the TPM and some corresponding measuring algorithm on the client side. If not, NAC is essentially worthless.

So, anybody offering NAC solutions - even CISCO - have simply no other choice that to integrate the TPM (Client) and EEE (NAC Server) into their architecture. The clock is ticking....
