Security Requirements

Security Requirements Overview​

Projects are made up of a security level, and security levels are made up of one or more security requirements.

Security requirements are the operating source for the projects. A requirement is a condition for a user to be certified, such as U.S. Citizenship or ITAR training. Certifying a user for one of these requirements in the system means an admin ticking a box that says "Yes, user X satisfies the Y requirement".

  • Requirements have additional properties beyond a name and a description.
  • A requirement may specify a max lifespan for certifications.

For example, the ITAR Training requirement may only allow users to be certified for up to a year at a time, meaning each user must be re-certified annually.

Additionally, some requirements may not require an expiration for certifications. For example, certifications for U.S. Citizenship may be created with no expiration, meaning the user never has to be re-certified.

  • A security requirement is an individual requirement such as having a non-expired license.
  • Certifications can be updated at any period of frequency.

Offering users the appropriate security requirements is a system admin duty. tiCrypt is not responsible for checking that "Joe Smith" has a non-expired license. Requirements are also tools used within the system to help keep track of user certificates.
