Protocol Adaption of NAC in Mobile Telecommunication Networks

The NAC (network access control) technology which enforces the endpoint access decision based on the collected endpoint security status information and platform measurement information has been developed by various companies and has been widely deployed in intranets. Besides intranet, mobile telecommunication networks also find NAC is required. This paper introduces the main NAC solutions in industry and analyzes the essential of current NAC technologies in the perspective of protocol. And then this paper describes the explicit requirement of remote platform integrity validation which may utilize the NAC in the mobile telecommunication networks and discuss a feasible way of implementing the NAC technology into a scenario by using protocol adaption of EAP over IKEv2.
