UNISYS Corporation A Series MCP/AS Release 3.7

Abstract

The National Computer Security Center (NCSC) has evaluated the security protection provided by the UNISYS A Series product line. The evaluated system is the A Series hardware (see page A-1, Evaluated Hardware Components ) running the Master Control Program/Advanced System Architecture (MCP/AS) 3.7 and the InfoGuard security enhancements (see page B-1, Evaluated Software Components ). The InfoGuard security enhancements must be configured with the CLASS option set to S2, as described in the Security Administration Guide. (1) The security features of the A Series were evaluated against the requirements specified by the Department of Defense Trusted Computed System Evaluation Criteria (DOD 5200. 28-STD), dated December 1985. The NCSC has determined that the highest class at which the evaluated system satisfies all the specified requirements of the Criteria is class C2. The UNISYS A Series system consists of the MCP/AS operating system and InfoGuard security enhancements running on any member of the A Series product line. The system is capable of supporting from a few to a few hundred concurrent terminal users and their applications. MCP/As is written in a high order language tailored to the ALGOL-based hardware architecture. Keywords: Computer hardware; Computer programs; Computer security.
