Computer Associates International, CA-ACF2/VM Release 3.1

Abstract

The security protection provided by Computer Associates' Access Control Facility 2/Virtual Machine (CA-ACF2/VM) add-on package release 3.1 running with IBM's Virtual Machine/System Product (VM/SP) Release 4.0 or IBM's Virtual Machine/System Product High Performance Option (VM/SP HPO) Release 4.2 operating system has been examined by the National Computer Security Center (NCSC). The security features of CA-ACF2/VM were examined against the requirements specified by DoD Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (the Criteria), dated December 1985, in order to establish a candidate rating. The NCSC evaluation team has determined that the highest class at which CA-ACF2/VM could satisfy all the specified requirements of the Criteria is class C2. CA- ACF2/VM, using the specified hardware and software (see Appendices A and B), configured and operated in the most secure configuration as described in the Trusted Facility Manual, has been assigned a class C2 rating. Note that this evaluation does not include the operating systems on the individual user virtual machines or objects protected by those operating systems. Keywords: Computer security, Computer programs.
