This led to the development of security requirements in the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification framework. In 2003 FISMA Project, Now the Risk Management Project, launched and published requirements such as FIPS 199, FIPS 200, and NIST Special Publications 800–53, 800–59, and 800–6. Then NIST Special Publications 800–37, 800–39 ...
FIPS 140-2 Level 3 adds requirements for physical tamper-resistance (making it difficult for attackers to gain access to sensitive information contained in the module) and identity-based authentication, and for a physical or logical separation between the interfaces by which "critical security parameters" enter and leave the module, and its ...
Security Level 2 improves upon the physical security mechanisms of a Security Level 1 cryptographic module by requiring features that show evidence of tampering, including tamper-evident coatings or seals that must be broken to attain physical access to the plaintext cryptographic keys and critical security parameters (CSPs) within the module ...
Quality and acceptance vary worldwide for IT security credentials, from well-known and high-quality examples like a master's degree in the field from an accredited school, CISSP, and Microsoft certification, to a controversial list of many dozens of lesser-known credentials and organizations.
Cybersecurity Capacity Maturity Model for Nations (CMM) is a framework developed to review the cybersecurity capacity maturity of a country across five dimensions. [1] The five dimensions covers the capacity area required by a country to improve its cybersecurity posture. [2]
Part 2: Security Functional Components – Provides a catalog of security functional requirements (e.g., access control, encryption, and audit functions). [16] Part 3: Security Assurance Components – Specifies assurance levels (EAL1–EAL7), representing the depth and rigor of security evaluations. [17]
The intent of the higher levels is to provide higher confidence that the system's principle security features are reliably implemented. The EAL level does not measure the security of the system itself, it simply states at what level the system was tested. To achieve a particular EAL, the computer system must meet specific assurance requirements ...
The security policy must be explicit, well-defined, and enforced by the computer system. Three basic security policies are specified: [6] Mandatory Security Policy – Enforces access control rules based directly on an individual's clearance, authorization for the information and the confidentiality level of the information being sought. Other ...
