GPOS SRG: General Purpose Operating System Security Requirements Guide

This General Purpose Operating System (GPOS) Security Requirements Guide (SRG) provides the technical security policies and requirements for applying security concepts to systems. This SRG specifies security requirements for commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) or government- off-the-shelf (GOTS) general purpose operating systems (GPOSs) in networked environments. An operating system conformant to this SRG may be operated as a server system within a data center or a client system used directly by one or more human users. This guide assumes operation within a single security domain. Cross-domain solution (CDS) and Multi-Level Security (MLS) requirements are beyond the scope of this guide.
