First Claim
1. A method for use in a computer system comprising a client and a health registration authority, the health registration authority being configured to accept requests for assertions, the client having a health state described by at least one health claim, the method comprising:
- (A) generating, by a processor executing code stored on a computer-readable medium, an indication of the at least one health claim of the client in a request for an assertion; and
(B) generating, by the processor executing code stored on the computer-readable medium, an indication of at least one health policy that the at least one health claim of the client satisfies in a policy extension field of an X.509 certificate sent with a second request for an assertion.

Abstract
A method is provided for use in a computer system including a client and a health registration authority. The health registration authority is configured to accept requests for assertions, and the client has a health state described by at least one health claim. The method may include an act of including an indication of the at least one health claim of the client in a request for an assertion. A second method is provided for use in a computer system comprising a client, an assertion authority, and a plurality of health policies. The method can include an act of including an indication of at least one health policy that the health claim of the client satisfies in an assertion.

4. A method for use in a computer system comprising a client and an assertion authority, the assertion authority configured to generate assertions associated with the client, the client having a health state described by at least one health claim, the computer system further comprising a plurality of health policies, the health claim of the client satisfying at least one health policy of the plurality of policies, the method comprising:
-
(A) generating, by a processor executing code stored on a computer-readable medium, an indication of the at least one health policy that the health claim of the client satisfies in an assertion; and (B) generating, by the processor executing code stored on the computer-readable medium, an indication of at least one health policy that the at least one health claim of the client satisfies in a policy extension field of an X.509 certificate sent with a second request for an assertion.

5. At least one computer for use with a computer system comprising a client having a health state described by at least one health claim, the computer system further comprising a plurality of health policies, the health claim of the client satisfying at least one health policy of the plurality of policies, the at least one computer comprising at least one processor programmed to:
-
generate, by executing code stored on a computer-readable medium, an indication of the at least one health policy that the at least one health claim of the client satisfies in a request for an assertion; and generate, by executing code stored on the computer-readable medium, an indication of at least one health policy that the at least one health claim of the client satisfies in a policy extension field of an X.509 certificate sent with a second request for an assertion.
