Software Inventory Message and Attributes for PA-TNC
RFC 8412, “Software Inventory Message and Attributes for PA-TNC”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2018 by C. Schmidt, D. Haynes, C. Coffin, D. Waltermire, J. Fitzgerald-McKay. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document extends "PA-TNC: A Posture Attribute (PA) Protocol Compatible with Trusted Network Connect (TNC)" (RFC 5792) by providing specific attributes and message exchanges to allow endpoints to report their installed software inventory information to a NEA Server, as defined in "Network Endpoint Assessment (NEA): Overview and Requirements" (RFC 5209).
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
