Department of Defense Mail Guard for High Robustness Environments

Abstract

This Protection Profile (PP) specifies the information security requirements for DoD Mail Guards for High Robustness Environments. The Mail Guard specified in this PP sits between two protected network enclaves at different classification levels, controlling the flow of electronic messages sent between the two networks. The protection approach employs various processing, filtering, and data-blocking techniques in an attempt to provide data sanitization (e.g., downgrade) or separation between enclaves. Besides enforcing an information flow policy and providing services for confidentiality and integrity of mail messages, the Mail Guard provides identification and authentication, trusted path and audit capabilities and has been designed with a high degree of assurance. The specific functional and assurance requirements are contained in Section 5 of this document.
