Title

Hardware Separation

Control

Employ hardware separation mechanisms to implement security function isolation.

Discussion

Hardware separation mechanisms include hardware ring architectures that are implemented within microprocessors and hardware-enforced address segmentation used to support logically distinct storage objects with separate attributes (i.e., readable, writeable).

Assessment objective

SC-03(01) hardware separation mechanisms are employed to implement security function isolation.
