What are Trusted and Untrusted Network?

Hi,

What are Trusted and Untrusted Network?

Trusted network is an open architecture for Network Access Control. The aim is to enable operators of network for providing endpoint integrity at each every network connection, which provides interoperability.

Untrusted Networks are controlled and configured by their owners. It could cause improper access to sensitive data. For this reason the systems are isolated on a separate sub-net and not allowed a direct access too many computer services.

Thanks

Trusted network
Computers on the trusted network can transparently access such departmental services as NFS (home and project disks), NIS (distributed account and other information), printers, software packages, etc. Acces to this network is limited to machines administered by the Lab Staff, in order to secure sensitve data and maintain the availability of departmental resources. Users should not attempt to connect their personal machines to this network. A curent list of machines on the trusted network can be found here.

Untrusted network
In most cases, computers on the untrusted network are controlled and configured by their owners. Since this could potentially allow improper access to sensitive or personal data, or could cause operational disruptions to the production computer network, these machines are isolated on a separate sub-net, and are not given direct access to many core departmental computer services.

Trusted networks allow data to be transferred transparently. The machines using a trusted network are usually administered by an administrator to ensure that private and secured data is not leaked. Access to this network is limited. Computers using trusted networks are more secure and confidential because of strong firewalls.

Untrusted networks are usually administered by the owners. They can allow improper access to sensitive or personal data. These machines are usually separate. Such machines could me more prone to attacks.

a network that follows the authentication rules or else we set up a firewall in our network if there is no such things happen like only authorised person can access than else it means that the network is trusted. if the unauthorised person can also access the network means the network is not trusted.
