OSI-Security and Relations with other Security Standards

Abstract

Within NATO it is acknowledged that it is an advantage if standard civil information technology products can be used for military purposes. For this, military security requirements should be met. The OSI Security Architecture addresses only one of the relevant security issues. Other relevant issues are: security in (open) systems, security in distributed applications and secure information technology products. This paper describes the relations of the OSI Security Architecture with other areas of security and other standards in these areas. An emphasis is put on civil standards for the evaluation of security in information technology products. This study has been performed as part of the PhD-project SEDIS(Securable Distributed Information Systems). This project aims at a better understanding of and contribution to security in distributed information systems.
