Summary The NSA High Assurance Platform (HAP) Program is an effort to define a framework for the development of high confidence computing components for use in a range of operational contexts. To help validate the applicability of emerging hardware and software technologies, and the effective use of the target Computing Platform in different operational use-scenarios, the HAP Program also develops interim HAP reference implementations. The HAP Release 2 (HAPR2) implementation is ongoing. This proposal is to conduct research to develop a set of commercially achievable security requirements for the HAPR2 implementation that can be incorporated into the Computing Platform Architecture and Security Criteria (CPC) specification for the HAP Program. This investigation will also include a preliminary study of composition of assumable platform instances from HAP-conformant platform components.
