Interpretive analysis of the Joint Maritime Command Information System (JMCIS) Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) Local Area Network (LAN) security requirements

Abstract

The primary purpose of this thesis is to provide an analysis for each of the specific security requirements established for the Joint Maritime Command Information System (JMCIS) Sensitive Compartment Information (SCI) local area network. The development of JMCIS and its importance within the interopcrability arena of Department of Defense (DoD) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C41) systems is discussed. A description of the components for the SCI local area network and supporting computer security principles is presented. The author employs the criteria established in the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC) and other authoritative sources to evaluate and interpret the security requirements under the broad category of Technical (Computer) Security Requirements for the JMCIS SCI local area network. The results of the analysis support the JMCIS SCI local area network developer's selected security requirements.
