Annotation

The Recommendation I International Standard on Security Frameworks for Open Systems addresses the application of security services in an Open Systems environment, where the term "Open System" is taken to include areas such as Database, Distributed Applications, Open Distributed Processing and OSI. The Security Frameworks are concerned with defining the means of providing protection for systems and objects within systems, and with the interactions between systems. The Security Frameworks are not concerned with the methodology for constructing systems or mechanisms. The Security Frameworks address both data elements and sequences of operations (but not protocol elements which may be used to obtain specific security services.

These security services may apply to the communicating entities of systems as well as to data exchanged between systems, and to data managed by systems.

This Recommendation | International Standard addresses the integrity of data in information retrieval, transfer, and management:

1) defines the basic concept of data integrity;

2) identifies possible classes of integrity mechanism;

3) identifies facilities for each class of integrity mechanisms;

4) identifies management required to support the class of integrity mechanism;

5) addresses the interaction of integrity mechanism and the supporting services with other security services and mechanisms.

A number of different types of standard can use this framework, including:
