- Electronic Copies of the U.S. Federal Criteria for IT Security
-
- NIST now has available the draft U.S. Federal Criteria (this is a
- preliminary draft that will eventually replace the Orange Book) for
- Information Technology Security (FC), Volume I, "Protection Profile
- Development" and Volume II, "Registry of Protection Profiles" in
- both postscript and in ascii format. The FC can be obtained
- electronically through the Internet or via a modem to the NIST
- Computer Security Bulletin Board. Due to the large size of the
- files, the files have been compressed using Unix compress and
- Pkzip. An uncompressed version is also available.
-
- Internet Access
- The files can be obtained through Internet by either ftp or by
- Internet accessible e-mail.
- FTP to csrc.nist.gov or to 129.6.54.11. Log in as "anonymous" and
- use your Internet address as the password. The FC files can be
- found in the directory /bbs/nistpubs. The filenames are as
- follows:
-
- Postscript Ascii
- fcvol1.ps.Z (Unix compressed) fcvol1.txt.Z (Unix compressed)
- fcvol2.ps.Z (Unix compressed) fcvol2.txt.Z (Unix compressed)
- fcvol1.ps (not compressed) fcvol1.txt (not compressed)
- fcvol2.ps (not compressed) fcvol2.txt (not compressed)
- fcvol1ps.zip (Pkzip compressed) fcvol1.zip (Pkzip compressed)
- fcvol2ps.zip (Pkzip compressed) fcvol2.zip (Pkzip compressed)
-
- For Internet accessible e-mail, send an e-mail message to
- docserver@csrc.nist.gov. Leave the subject blank and on the first
- line of the message type:
- send filename
-
- Another file can be requested at the same time by repeating the
- send message on the next line. The filename must be entered in
- lower-case, e.g., "send fcvol1.ps."
-
- Modem Access
- To obtain a copy through modem access, dial 301-948-5717
- (300-2400/8/N/1) or 301-948-5140 (9600/8/N/1). The files to
- download are as follows:
-
- Postscript Ascii
- fcvol1ps.zip (Pkzip compressed) fcvol1.zip (Pkzip compressed)
- fcvol2ps.zip (Pkzip compressed) fcvol2.zip (Pkzip compressed)
- fcvol1.ps (not compressed) fcvol1.txt (not compressed)
- fcvol2.ps (not compressed) fcvol2.txt (not compressed)

- Registering Your Name
- When you receive an electronic copy of the draft FC, please let us
- know by sending your name, mailing address, telephone, and e-mail
- address to the address listed below. If you distribute the
- document to additional people in your organization, please send us
- the same information on those people as well. We will put the
- names into our database for any further announcements related to
- the effort. NIST will be sending out a LIMITED NUMBER of hard
- copies, but due to the substantial expense of sending out such a
- large document, we urge people to receive the document via
- electronic means.
-
- Comments
- We are soliciting technical, substantive comments on the document.
- The deadline for comments is March 31, 1993. All those who
- contribute substantive comments will be invited to a two-day
- workshop some time in April or May 1993 to resolve the comments. The
- workshop will be held in the Washington-Baltimore area in a
- to-be-announced location.
-
- Please send your comments to:
-
- lynch@csmes.ncsl.nist.gov
-
- or, if you prefer, you can send us a 3.5" or 5.25" diskette in
- MSDOS or UNIX format (please indicate which) to:
-
- Federal Criteria Comments
- ATTN: Nickilyn Lynch
- NIST/CSL, Bldg 224/RM A241
- Gaithersburg, MD 20899
-
- We would prefer to receive electronic copies of comments and/or
- name registrations, but we will also accept hardcopy comments/name
- registrations at this same address. You can also
- contact us via the following fax:
