Re: [2600] additional comments for the PP Guide



Brian –

 

I’ll add these to the list of post-meeting comment resolutions and put them in the “Errata” section of the PP Guide.

OK, maybe these won't make it into the next draft -- sorry, I should have sent these a few days ago. They are errata resulting from our response to the recent Observation Report from NIAP:

  1. App Note 114 is incorrectly worded. An earlier draft of FPT_FDI_EXP.1 included a requirement to specify an authorized role, and App Note 114 referred to that requirement. When we removed that requirement (deferring to dependencies on FMT_SMR.1 and FMT_SMF.1), the app note should have been reworded so that it referred to the dependencies and not to FPT_FDI_EXP.1 itself.
  2. FMT_MTD.1 should have been iterated as a component. Instead, the elements within FMT_MTD.1 were iterated within FMT_MTD.1. ST Authors may correctly iterate the components, but in any case, evaluators should be aware that the intention was to iterate the component and should allow conforming STs to either correct or repeat this structural iteration error.
  3. There is a minor error in the typographical notation of FDP_ACF.1(b). Where it says "based on the following: users and [assignment: list of TOE functions and the security attribute(s) used to determine the TOE Function Access Control SFP]", the intention is that "users and" is a refinement that is separate from the assignment that follows. The correct notation is "based on the following: users and [assignment: list of TOE functions and the security attribute(s) used to determine the TOE Function Access Control SFP]".
