Resource Access Control Facility (RACF), Version 1, Release 5.

Abstract

The security features of RACF/MVS were evaluated against the requirements specified by the DoD Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria dated 15 Aug 1983 and found to satisfy all the requirements of evaluation Class C1. The Department of Defense Computer Security Center (DoDCSC) was established in January 1981 to encourage the widespread availability of trusted computer systems for use by facilities processing classified or other sensitive data. In the first quarter of FY83, International Business Machines Inc., (IBM), requested that the DoDCSC evaluate their commercially available Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) Program Product Version 1, Release 5 for the OS/VS2 MVS operating systems as specified in the RACF general Information Manual. MVS is an IBM operating system for its 303x, 308x, 370/158, and 370/168 processors. Keywords include: Trusted computer system evaluation criteria, Resource access control facility, C1, EPL, DoDCSC, RACF, IBM, and MVS.
