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.[5]
In 2009 TCG announced expanded specifications which extended the specifications to systems outside of the enterprise network.[6] Additional uses for TNC which have been reported include Industrial Control System (ICS), SCADA security,[7][8] and physical security.[9]
