Hello,
Andrew did write:
<<<
The analysis is supported by independent testing of the TOE security
functions, evidence of developer testing based on the functional
specification and high-level design, selective independent confirmation
of the developer test results, strength of function analysis, evidence
of a developer search for vulnerabilities, and an independent
vulnerability analysis demonstrating resistance to penetration attackers
with a low attack potential."
>>>
OpenVMS did show in some contests, that it is resistance also against
penetration attackers with a high (!!!) attack potential. Within a contenst in
USA, only OpenVMS was resistant over 48hours against any attack.
Within all the test regardless of using old one (B,C level of DOD) or the new
one EAL, they do not have hacker, which will hack the system. As Andrew wrotes,
the did use test with low attack potential. OpenVMS do have the old one B2
certifacation. The managment did not get money for a new one certification. I
hope, because everybody knows, that OpenVMS is unhackable.
Best regards Rudolf Wingert
