Use of the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC) for Complex, Evolving, Multipolicy Systems.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide a methodology to assist the heads of DoD components to procure, certify, and accredit existing, evolving, multipolicy systems against the TCSEC 4 requirements, consistent with the guidance provided in the TNI 2 and the TDI 3. This methodology must come to grips with the problems that exist in current operational command and control systems. The intended audience is anyone concerned with any aspect of these objectives. A more immediate goal, once these ideas have been finalized, is to develop a STRAWMAN follow-on version of Volume 2 of the Procurement Guideline Series "Language for RFP Specifications and Statements of Work - An Aid to Procurement Initiators 5," but it will apply to complex systems. This will provide a way to extend the guideline's application from the procurement of Evaluated Products List (EPL) 6 products (or the equivalent) to procurement of integrated systems, encouraging maximum use of EPL products in the system development/evolution.
