AVA_MSU.1    Examination of guidance

Objectives

The objective is to ensure that misleading, unreasonable and conflicting guidance is absent from the guidance documentation, and that secure procedures for all modes of operation have been addressed. Insecure states should be easy to detect.

Dependencies:

ADO_IGS.1 Installation, generation, and start-up procedures
ADV_FSP.1 Informal functional specification
AGD_ADM.1 Administrator guidance
AGD_USR.1 User guidance

Developer action elements:

AVA_MSU.1.1D  The developer shall provide guidance documentation.

Content and presentation of evidence elements:

AVA_MSU.1.1C  The guidance documentation shall identify all possible modes of operation of the TOE (including operation following failure or operational error), their consequences and implications for maintaining secure operation.

AVA_MSU.1.2C  The guidance documentation shall be complete, clear, consistent and reasonable.

AVA_MSU.1.3C  The guidance documentation shall list all assumptions about the intended environment.

AVA_MSU.1.4C  The guidance documentation shall list all requirements for external security measures (including external procedural, physical and personnel controls).

Evaluator action elements:

AVA_MSU.1.1E  The evaluator shall confirm that the information provided meets all requirements for content and presentation of evidence.

AVA_MSU.1.2E  The evaluator shall repeat all configuration and installation procedures to confirm that the TOE can be configured and used securely using only the supplied guidance documentation.

AVA_MSU.1.3E  The evaluator shall determine that the use of the guidance documentation allows all insecure states to be detected.
