This section describes the requirements for a C2 system and explains the documentation that the OpenVMS product provides to support such a system.
A C2 environment is one that meets the United States Defense Department's criteria for trusted computer systems and that contains only those hardware and software components of the trusted computing base (TCB) that were included in the government's evaluation of the OpenVMS operating system.
The criteria for C2 systems are defined in the Department of Defense Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria, published by the Department of Defense Computer Security Center (DOD 5200.28-STD). They include the following:
Access controls, which if used, can identify individual users as well as groups of users
User accountability through login procedures that clearly identify a user
Auditing of security-relevant events
Resource isolation so objects are erased before being reallocated
The trusted facility manual is intended for the system administrator. The C2 trusted facility manual includes the following:
