IDENTIX, Inc. IDX-50 Version 7

Abstract

IDX-50(1) Version 7, has been evaluated by the National Computer Security Center (NCSC). IDX-50 is considered to be a security sub-system rather than a complete trusted computer system. Therefore, it was evaluated against a relevant subset of the requirements in the Department of Defense Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC), dated December 1985. Specifically, the features included in this evaluation were Identification and Authentication (I&A) and Audit of the I&A. The NCSC evaluation team has determined that the IDX-50 can apply these features to any host system which provides the ability to accept I&A information from the IDX terminal. The host must be able to make access decisions based on the information received and create an audit trail from the information. The host software which provides these features must be protected from modification by users. The IDX-50 system does not include any host software. Keywords: Computer hardware, Computer security, Test and evaluation.
