[2600] Various devices' claim to P2600 PP conformance
All,
Hardcopy devices ranges from scanner,
printer, fax machine,..., to MFDs. This is how we define the TOE
for the PPs. Therefore, not every TOE can claim conformance to all
SFRs in the PPs we have written so far. Also, not every device has
to deal with the threats listed in the PPs. For example, a scanner
should not have to address copy/print related threats; a printer or a MFD
without fax component should not have to address "fax" related
threats. Consequently, a scanner or a printer or a MFD that does
not have a fax component/function needs not to claim conformance to fax
related SFRs in the PP selected for a particular environment.
I think one way to address this issue
is to clearly state the common set of SFRs that all devices must conform,
and the set of SFRs that must be conformed by each specific type of device/function
in the Conformance Clause. Right now I only see very small set of
threats not belonging to scanner, and another very small set not belonging
to devices without fax.
I don't remember whether we discussed
this in the last P2600 meeting. Please let's discuss your opinions/
suggestions.
Thanks,
-Nancy
