  1. The roadwarriors <b>carol</b> and <b>dave</b> set up a connection each to gateway <b>moon</b>
  2. using EAP-TTLS authentication only with the gateway presenting a server certificate and
  3. the clients doing EAP-MD5 password-based authentication.
  4. <p/>
  5. In a next step the <b>RFC 7171 PT-EAP</b> transport protocol is used within the EAP-TTLS
  6. tunnel to determine the state of <b>carol</b>'s and <b>dave</b>'s operating system via the
  7. <b>TNCCS 2.0 </b> client-server interface compliant with <b>RFC 5793 PB-TNC</b>. The OS IMC
  8. and OS IMV pair is using the <b>IF-M 1.0</b> measurement protocol defined by <b>RFC 5792 PA-TNC</b>
  9. to exchange PA-TNC attributes.
  10. <p/>
  11. <b>carol</b> sends information on her operating system consisting of the PA-TNC attributes
  12. <em>Product Information</em>, <em>String Version</em>, and <em>Device ID</em> up-front
  13. to the Attestation IMV, whereas <b>dave</b> must be prompted by the IMV to do so via an
  14. <em>Attribute Request</em> PA-TNC attribute. <b>dave</b> is instructed to do a reference
  15. measurement on all files in the <b>/bin</b> directory. <b>carol</b> is then prompted to
  16. measure a couple of individual files and the files in the <b>/bin</b> directory as
  17. well as to get metadata on the <b>/etc/tnc_confg</b> configuration file.
  18. <p/>
  19. Since the Attestation IMV negotiates a Diffie-Hellman group for TPM-based measurements,
  20. the mandatory default being <b>ecp256</b>, with the strongswan.conf option
  21. <b>mandatory_dh_groups = no</b> no ECC support is required.
  22. <p>
  23. <b>carol</b> passes the health test and <b>dave</b> fails because IP forwarding is
  24. enabled. Based on these assessments which are communicated to the IMCs using the
  25. <em>Assessment Result</em> PA-TNC attribute, the clients are connected by gateway <b>moon</b>
  26. to the "rw-allow" and "rw-isolate" subnets, respectively.
