Paul Mayfield MSFT NAP blog

Paul Mayfield is the Group Program Manager for NAP at Microsoft. Here is a comment he made regarding the IF-TNCCS-SoH announcement one week ago.

>>>
We think this announcement is a really good thing and we have already heard some positive feedback around it. It doesn’t, however, represent the end of our standards work. We will continue to participate in the TNC to help develop new standards, particularly in the areas of integrating the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) into solutions like NAP. (Another Interop demo will be the TPM integrated with NAP that we are showing with one of our partners, Wave Systems). We will also continue to participate in the IETF’s Network Endpoint Assessment (NEA) working group to promote interoperability there.

>>>
To extend the NAP platform and create a new method by which the health of a connecting client is evaluated, third-party software vendors must create an SHA for the NAP client, an SHV for the IAS server or the NAP servers that provide or authorize network access, and, if needed, a policy server. If the policy server already exists, such as an antivirus signature distribution server, then only the corresponding SHA and SHV components need to be created. In some cases, a policy server is not needed.

So, it appears that Wave has built the SHA and SHV components and therefore is first-to-market supporting IF-TNCCS-SoH.

Remember, Microsoft is not in the TSS business, and TPM-interoperability would not come from that layer of the software...so, what exactly are Microsoft and Wave working on? CSP development? Licensing?
