These guidelines are intended for Federal agency use in acquiring trusted systems. DoD Directive 5200.28, Security Requirements for Automated Information Systems (AISs), provides security requirements concerning all protection aspects of automated information systems. It specifies DoD 5200.28-STD, DoD Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC), as the requirement source for trusted computer systems. The second page of DoD 5200.28-STD states: 'This document is used to provide a basis for specifying security requirements in acquisition specifications'
