FPT_ACF_EXT.1.2 #69

Closed kgal closed 9 years ago

kgal commented 9 years ago

Possibly replace with FAU_SAR.1

kgal commented 9 years ago

For the record: FAU_SAR.1.1: The TSF shall provide [assignment: authorised users] with the capability to read [assignment: list of audit information] from the audit records.

FPT_ACF_EXT.1.2: The OS shall implement access controls which prohibit unprivileged subjects from reading: Security audit logs, list of other objects.

I agree there is no need to add it, since it is already covered in FPT_ACF_EXT.1.

You could put FAU_SAR.1 (is there a .1.2 also, that we meet?) into the Appendix D, as it is an implicitly satisfied requirement, with this justification.

Oh I just had to look. FAU_SAR.2 states "The TSF shall provide the audit records in a manner suitable for the user to interpret the information."

This is ridiculous. I think you could still claim all of FAU_SAR.1, just since .1.2 since I find it ludicrous to believe that a system would create audit records that cannot be read.

Yes, there was much snickering at 1.2.

kgal commented 9 years ago

We decided FPT_ACF_EXT.1.2 is clearer than FAU_SAR.1.1, so we're keeping it.
