Abstract

A trusted network connect method for enhancing security, it pre-prepares platform integrity information, sets an integrity verify demand. A network access requestor initiates an access request, a network access authority starts a process for bi-directional user authentication, begins to perform the triplex element peer authentication protocol with a user authentication service unit. After the success of the bi-directional user authentication, a TNC server and a TNC client perform bi-directional platform integrity evaluation. The network access requestor and the network access authority control ports according to their respective recommendations, implement the mutual access control of the access requestor and the access authority. The present invention solves the technical problems in the background technologies: the security is lower relatively, the access requestor may be unable to verify the validity of the AIK credential and the platform integrity evaluation is not parity. The present invention may simplify the management of the key and the mechanism of integrity verification, expand the application scope of the trusted network connect.
