International Business Machines Corporation VM/SP with RACF
Abstract
The security protection provided by the International Business Machines Corporation VM/SP with RACF operating system software as described in Appendix B, running on one of the IBM 370 processors listed in Appendix A and configured in an appropriately trusted manner as described in the Trusted Facilities Library 28 has been examined by the National Computer Security Center (NCSC). The security features of VM/SP with RACF were examined against the requirements specified by the DoD Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria 40(the Criteria) dated 26 December, 1985 in order to establish a candidate rating. The NCSC evaluation team has determined that the highest class at which VM/SP with RACF satisfies all the specified requirements of the Criteria is class C2. A system has been rated as being a C division system provides for discretionary (need-to-know) protection and, through the inclusion of audit capabilities, for accountability of subjects and the actions they may initiate. Such a system is expected to run in an environment of cooperating users processing data at the same level of sensitivity.
