The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association (IEEE-SA) selected Atsec Information Security Corp. to test and certify the protection profiles being developed to work with IEEE 2600 - Standard for Information Technology: Hardcopy System and Device Security.
The IEEE 2600 standard defines security requirements (including but not limited to authentication, authorization, privacy, integrity, device management, physical security and information security) for manufacturers, users and others on the selection, installation, configuration and usage of hardcopy devices and systems including printers, copiers and multifunction devices.
In addition to the main standard, the four protection profiles being developed concern the security requirements of different types of devices, said the IEEE.
A protection profile is a combination of threats, security objectives, assumptions, security functional requirements, security assurance requirements, assumptions and rationales, according to the IEEE.
The IEEE 2600 standard and the four protection profiles are being developed by the Hardcopy Device and System Security Working Group, which is a standards project sponsored by the IEEE Information Assurance Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society.
