5 Further Work

jTNC has been implemented to enable the development of Java applications that support TNC and its most current bindings. Hereby, the goal of the development was to create a software library that can be integrated into various applications, which need TNC. Therefore, jTNC has a modular design, which enables the addition of other bindings in the future (e.g. Tunneled EAP). However, currently no further bindings have been added, which means the addition of further bindings has to be tested and verified in the future. Furthermore, because jTNC was developed for a prototype application, the library is mostly tested for its functionality for now. This implies that there need to be more tests such as limit tests for robustness and interoperability tests with other TNC applications. However, for the functionality tests an NAR and NAA have been developed as examples using different self-implemented exemplary IMC and IMV types. The NAR was also involved in a first interoperability test with the open source firewall strongSwan ¹⁰ already.

To get the latest information on small development tasks look for a file called TODO located in the doc folder of the jtnc-core umbrella Maven project. For example, a support for the Simple Authentication and Security Layer has to be added to the SocketTransportConnection.
