This appendix describes how to operate an OpenVMS operating
system in a C2 environment. C2 is a United States government rating
of the security of an operating system; it identifies OpenVMS VAX
and OpenVMS Alpha as an operating system that meets the criteria
of a Division C, class 2 system, as described in
Definition of the C2 Environment. Terminology used in this appendix
is drawn from the United States government's evaluation criteria.
Those versions of OpenVMS that have been evaluated by the
National Computer Security Center (NCSC) are listed in the Evaluated
Products List, which is available from the following source:
