3 Terms, Definitions and Abbreviations
3.1 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the terms and definitions specified in GB 17859-1999 and GB/T 20271-2006 and those listed below apply.
3.1.1
Security of operating system
Representation for confidentiality, integrity and availability of information stored, transported and processed in operating system.
3.1.2
Security technology of operating system
All security technologies required for realizing security of various operating systems.
3.1.3
Security subsystem of operating system
A generic term for security protection devices in operating system, including hardware, firmware, software and combined entity responsible for implementing security policy. It establishes basic security protection environment for operating system and provides additional user service required for security operating system.
Note: SSOOS (security subsystem of operating system) is the TCB of operating system according to the definition of TCB (trusted computing base) in GB 17859-1999.
3.1.4
SSOOS security policy
A set of rules for the management, protection and distribution of resource in SSOOS. One SSOOS may contain one or more security policies.
3.1.5
Security function policy
Security policy adopted to realize the function required for SSOOS security element.
3.1.6
Security element
Compositions of security content contained in the security techniques requirement of each security protection grade in this standard.
3.1.7
SSOOS security function
The function provided by all hardwares, firmwares and softwares correctly implementing SSOOS security policy. The realization of each security policy constitutes a SSOOS security function module. All security functions of a SSOOS jointly constitute the security function of SSOOS.
3.1.8
SSF scope of control
The scope of subject and object involved with SSOOS operation.
