Trusted Computing Exemplar: Confuguration Management Plan

Abstract

This document describes the Life Cycle Management Plan for the development of a high assurance secure product. A high assurance product is one for which its users have a high level of confidence that its security policies will be enforced continuously and correctly. Such products are constructed so that they can be analyzed for these characteristics. Lifecycle activities ensure that the product reflects the intent to ensure that the product is trustworthy and that vigorous efforts have been made to ensure the absence of unspecified functionality, whether accidental or intentional. The purpose of this document is, first, to describe the high-level procedures and policy for Configuration Management (CM), and, second to create a CM plan that aims to ensure the integrity of the configuration items, track changes to the configuration items, and ensure that only authorized changes are made to the configurations items.
