+.
+.B pt-tls-client
+is a simple client using the PT-TLS (RFC 6876) transport protocol to collect
+integrity measurements on the client platform. PT-TLS does an initial TLS
+handshake with certificate-based server authentication and optional
+certificate-based client authentication. Alternatively simple password-based
+SASL client authentication protected by TLS can be used.
+.P
+Attribute requests and integrity measurements are exchanged via the PA-TNC (RFC
+5792) message protocol between any number of Integrity Measurement Verifiers
+(IMVs) residing on the remote PT-TLS server and multiple Integrity Measurement
+Collectors (IMCs) loaded dynamically by the PT-TLS client according to a list
+defined by \fI/etc/tnc_config\fR. PA-TNC messages that contain one or several
+PA-TNC attributes are multiplexed into PB-TNC (RFC 5793) client or server data
+batches which in turn are transported via PT-TLS.
