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-04.txt
Pages : 50
Date : 2007-8-28
This document defines the problem statement, scope and 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systems that are lacking or have out of date security protective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 such as: anti-virus and host-based firewall software.
In order to provide context for the requirements, a reference
model and terminology are introduced.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-nea-requirements-04.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.
