ADV_HLD.3    Semiformal high-level design

Dependencies: 

ADV_FSP.3 Semiformal functional specification
ADV_RCR.2 Semiformal correspondence demonstration

Developer action elements:

ADV_HLD.3.1D  The developer shall provide the high-level design of the TSF.

Content and presentation of evidence elements:

ADV_HLD.3.1C  The presentation of the high-level design shall be semiformal.

ADV_HLD.3.2C  The high-level design shall be internally consistent.

ADV_HLD.3.3C  The high-level design shall describe the structure of the TSF in terms of subsystems.

ADV_HLD.3.4C  The high-level design shall describe the security functionality provided by each subsystem of the TSF.

ADV_HLD.3.5C  The high-level design shall identify any underlying hardware, firmware, and/or software required by the TSF with a presentation of the functions provided by the supporting protection mechanisms implemented in that hardware, firmware, or software.

ADV_HLD.3.6C  The high-level design shall identify all interfaces to the subsystems of the TSF.

ADV_HLD.3.7C  The high-level design shall identify which of the interfaces to the subsystems of the TSF are externally visible.

ADV_HLD.3.8C  The high-level design shall describe the purpose and method of use of all interfaces to the subsystems of the TSF, providing complete details of all effects, exceptions and error messages.

ADV_HLD.3.9C  The high-level design shall describe the separation of the TOE into TSP-enforcing and other subsystems.

Evaluator action elements:

ADV_HLD.3.1E  The evaluator shall confirm that the information provided meets all requirements for content and presentation of evidence.

ADV_HLD.3.2E  The evaluator shall determine that the high-level design is an accurate and complete instantiation of the TOE security functional requirements.
