1. US20090300707 - Method of optimizing policy conformance check for a device with a large set of posture attribute combinations

A method, apparatus, and electronic device for conforming integrity of a client device 106 are disclosed. A memory 1100 may store a policy tag 404 associated with a subgroup of a group of policies 1102 and having a tag timestamp. A network interface 1060 may receive the certificate of health 300 from the client device 106. A processor 1010 may extract from the certificate of health a certificate timestamp 302 and a policy tag 304. The processor 1010 may access the tag timestamp. The processor 1010 may execute a comparison of the certificate timestamp 302 with the tag timestamp. The network interface 1060 may grant access to a network 104 based in part upon the comparison.
