Computer Media Security Considerations: DOE (Department of Energy) Order 5635.1A and DOE Order 5637.1

摘要

This paper suggests that the examples for marking computer and word processing media and the written specifications for marking word processing media, contained in Chapter III, DOE Order 5635.1A, are technically incorrect. SNLA study indicates that strict compliance can lead to damage to the computer media drive and/or media itself. A model for technically appropriate marking is recommended which would facilitate longer distance visual identification of sensitive media, allow proper human readable identification of the classification levels, categories, special access/handling, and accountability/control data as applicable to the specific media. A diskette labeling example is provided which will meet the model requirements and which will not adversely act to cause damage to either the computer drive or the media. 5 refs., 15 figs.
