Trusted Network Connect

Trusted Network Connect (TNC) is an open architecture for network access control, promulgated by the Trusted Network Connect Work Group (TNC-WG) of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG).

[1][2][3] The TNC architecture was first introduced at the RSA Conference in 2005.

[4] TNC was originally a network access control standard with a goal of multi-vendor endpoint policy enforcement.

[6] Additional uses for TNC which have been reported include Industrial Control System (ICS), SCADA security,[7][8] and physical security.

[16] The South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services has tested a TNC-SCAP integration combination in a pilot program.
