Relating Functionality Class and Security Sub-profile Specifications

This document is a deliverable item from Joint Task 1 (JT01) whose terms of reference are defined in the Joint Workplan for cooperation on Security of Information Systems [1]. The objectives of JT01 are to: (a) Establish a common set of security functionality classes, representative of international and regional market-driven needs. (b) Develop a common approach to the creation of profiles from these security functionality classes consistent with current regional and international activities. (c) Create guidelines to support the prototyping of such profiles and their interpretability. This document describes methods for relating security functionality classes being proposed by various security evaluation criteria standardization efforts and security sub-profile specifications stemming from profiling of Open Systems standards. It is intended to fulfil item "b" of the JT01 workplan, "Description of the approach for expressing functionality classes with regard to OSE standards."
