A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Network Endpoint Assessment Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Network Endpoint Assessment (NEA): Overview and Requirements
Author(s) : P. Sangster, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-nea-requirements-03.txt
Pages : 51
Date : 2007-7-11
This document defines the problem statement, scope and interface
(protocol) requirements between the components of the NEA (Network
Endpoint Assessment) reference model. NEA provides owners of
networks (e.g. an enterprise offering remote access) a mechanism to
evaluate the posture of a system. This may take place during the
request for network access and/or subsequently at any time while
connected to the network. The learned posture information can then
be applied to a variety of compliance oriented decisions. The
posture 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are lacking (or have out of date) security protective mechanisms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 reference
model and terminology are introduced. This model is provided for
informational purposes but is based on the models used by NAC
[CNAC], NAP[NAP] and TNC[TNC].

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-nea-requirements-03.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.
