Proposal for MWSF'08
Abstract
International standards have been established (regardless of operating system) to provide for a standard set of controls and for monitoring of and between unlike systems. These standards allow for a common and consistent set of controls to ensure that dissimilar systems are sufficiently secured according to a well documented specification. The US Government uses the standard called Common Criteria to audit computing systems, and many businesses also use these auditing tools. OS X has the basic components built in, but additional software tools and configuration are required. In this session you will learn how Common Criteria tools came to be how to install the additional tools and and configure your system so that your system will conform to Common Criteria standards.Additional Comments (mods from 2007)
This talk will be largely but not entirely composed of the contents of the Common Criteria Tools presentation of MacWorld 2007. The changes will be a reduction (but not elimination) in discussion of Classic, which is no longer present on Intel Macs. It will necessarily include an addition of installing Common Criteria tools on Intel Macs, which are significantly - and importantly - different from PPC Macs. Finally, it will include a slightly expanded discussion of creating filters in BSM.
Later I'll post the bullet point topics that I plan to cover.
