This family defines the rules for the protection, from unauthorised modification, of TSF data during transmission between the TSF and a remote trusted IT product. Examples of this data are TSF critical data such as passwords, keys, audit data, or TSF executable code.
User notes
This family is used in a distributed system context where the TSF is exchanging TSF data with a remote trusted IT product. Note that a requirement that addresses modification, detection, or recovery at the remote trusted IT product cannot be specified, as the mechanisms that a remote trusted IT product will use to protect its data cannot be determined in advance. For this reason, these requirements are expressed in terms of the "TSF providing a capability" which the remote trusted IT product can use.
