Informal Correspondence
Parent: SA-17
Description
Require the developer of the system, system component, or system service to: a. Produce, as an integral part of the development process, an informal descriptive top-level specification that specifies the interfaces to security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware in terms of exceptions, error messages, and effects; b. Show via [organization-defined parameter] that the descriptive top-level specification is consistent with the formal policy model; c. Show via informal demonstration, that the descriptive top-level specification completely covers the interfaces to security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware; d. Show that the descriptive top-level specification is an accurate description of the interfaces to security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware; and e. Describe the security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware mechanisms not addressed in the descriptive top-level specification but strictly internal to the security-relevant hardware, software, and firmware.
