FTA_SSL.3     TSF-initiated termination

User application notes

FTA_SSL.3 TSF-initiated termination, requires that the TSF terminate an interactive user session after a period of inactivity.

The PP/ST author should be aware that a session may continue after the user terminated his/her activity, for example, background processing. This requirement would terminate this background subject after a period of inactivity of the user without regard to the status of the subject.

Operations

Assignment:

In FTA_SSL.3.1 the PP/ST author should specify the interval of user inactivity that will trigger the termination of an interactive session. If so desired, the PP/ST author could, through the assignment, specify that the interval is left to the authorised administrator or the user. The management functions in the FMT class can specify the capability to modify this time interval, making it the default value.
