A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Requirements for Network Endpoint Assessment (NEA)
Author(s) : H. Khosravi, et al.
Filename : draft-khosravi-nea-requirements-01.txt
Pages : 18
Date : 2006-6-27
This document defines the interface (protocol) requirements between
the components of the NEA (Network Endpoint Assessment) conceptual
architecture. NEA provides owners of networks (e.g. an enterprise
offering remote access) a mechanism to learn the operational state
or posture of a system requesting network access and then apply this
knowledge to the network admission decision. In this case,
operational posture refers to information about the configuration
and use of hardware and software capabilities available or running
on the system. This information is frequently useful for detecting
systems that are lacking (or have out of date) security protective
mechanisms (e.g. anti-virus, firewall.)
In order to provide context for the requirements, a conceptual
architecture and terminology is introduced. This architecture is
provided for informational purposes but is based on the models used
by NAC[9], NAP[10] and TNC[8].

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-khosravi-nea-requirements-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
