Deliverable D6 : Analysis of Security and Safety Standards and Codes of Practice

This paper is the result of the analysis of a selected set of internationnal standards in the Security, Safety and Quality fields. It addresses railways, nuclear, telecommunication, aeraunotics and space domains.

The dependability concepts and the terminology used are partially based on the results of PDCS-2 project (Predictably Dependable Computing Systems, Esprit action n°6362).

Analysis of the documentation was made following a scheme which allows to identify the areas covered by each document and those which are not covered.

Deliverables D7/8 : Criteria for the assessment of dependable systems (draft 1)

Historically the security and the safety communities have developped separately regulatory frameworks, so certifying systems uses very different processes and criteria in the two areas. In the published literature security and safety are suggested to be merged in dependability bringing all systems attributes: availability, reliability, safety, confidentiality, integrity and maintenability. The criteria and framework presented in this document are a first step of an unified approach to gain confidence in dependable systems, security as well as safety critical. The document describes and defines the dependability concepts, the assessment process activities, the levels of confidence and the assessment criteria. This first draft will be enhanced with the results from trials and mappings with different areas (railways, aeronautic, space, telecommunications, nuclear, etc..). It is published to the attention of assessment people, standardisation committees and other interested parties for comments.
