Trusted Computing Group Pushes Open Spec: Page 2 of 2

"With more than 60 members representing virtually every aspect of computing, networking and security, TCG is in the leading position to develop a nonproprietary specification to help network operators establish security policies requiring endpoints to achieve a minimum level of trust before connecting to their networks," said Jim Ward, president of the TCG board of directors, in a statement. "This specification will help protect networks from damage and illicit access, and complement TCG specifications that protect systems and information."

TCG member companies Hewlett-Packard, Intel, VeriSign, Extreme Networks, Foundry Networks, Funk Software, InfoExpress, Juniper Networks, Meetinghouse Data Communications, Network Associates, Sygate, Symantec, Trend Micro and Zone Labs are each taking part in the development of the spec.
