Wang Laboratories Incorporated MicroControl

Abstract

The National Computer Security Center (NCSC) examined the security protection mechanisms provided by Wang's MicroControl Version 1.0650 and 1.0660 MicroControl is a subsystem, not a complete trusted computer system. Therefore, it was evaluated against the Computer Security Subsystem Interpretation (CSSI). Specifically, the applicable requirements for this evaluation included identification and authentication (I&A), discretionary access control (DAC), and audit. Subsystems are designed to be installed on automatic data processing (ADP) systems. Specifically, subsystems are designed to add a level of assurance to an ADP system that has limited or ineffective security mechanisms. However, subsystems are not intended to protect information of an ADP system which processes classified information because subsystems may not be capable of maintaining the integrity of classified information.
