This family defines functions for exporting user data from the TOE such that its security attributes either can be explicitly preserved or can be ignored once it has been exported. Consistency of these security attributes are addressed by FPT_TDC Inter-TSF TSF data consistency .
FDP_ETC is concerned with limitations on export and association of security attributes with the exported user data.
User notes
This family, and the corresponding Import family FDP_ITC, address how the TOE deals with user data transferred into and outside its control. In principle this family is concerned with the export of user data and its related security attributes.
A variety of activities might be involved here:
a) exporting of user data without any security attributes;
b) exporting user data including security attributes where the two are associated with one another and the security attributes unambiguously represent the exported user data.
If there are multiple SFPs (access control and/or information flow control) then it may be appropriate to iterate these components once for each named SFP.
