Data General Corporation Advanced Operating System/Virtual Storage (AOS/ VS). Revision 7.60
Abstract
The security protection provided by Data General Corporation's Advanced Operating System/Virtual Storage (AOS/VS) revision 7.60 operating system running on the ECLIPSE MV/Family of 32-bit super-minicomputers has been examined by the National Computer Security Center (NCSC). The security features of AOS/VS were examined against the requirements specified by the 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 AOS/VS satisfies all the specified requirements of the Criteria is class C2. AOS/VS, using the specified requirements of the Criteria is class C2. AOS/VS, using the specified hardware and software (see Appendices A and B), configured and operated as described in the Trusted Facility Manual, has been assigned a class C2 rating. A system that has been rated as being a C2 system provides a Trusted Computing Base (TCB) that enforces a discretionary (need-to-know) access control mechanism and audits the security relevant actions of individual users.
