1. The RECON/Guard System prototype is now available for full
Government Confidence Testing and Operational Evaluation. The Guard
System resides in the and is also accessible
from the Office of Central Reference (OCR) area, GH44 Hqs., as
discussed in Reference 1. OCR maintains the RECON database and the
RECON-Test database, the latter of which is being used for the Guard
program.
2. The previous two weeks were spent completing the final major
debugging of the Guard System (all variants) and the OCR RECON-test
database. During this period, the Guard System security function
(no unauthorized data release) was maintained under all encountered
error conditions. The remaining primary activities of the RECON/
Guard program will involve operational and security evaluations of
the Guard System. These evaluations will be conducted by OCR and
OS/ISSG respectively under the guidance of the J. P. Anderson Co.
(the RECON/Guard program advisor). If the COINS network Host Access
System (HAS) becomes available during this final evaluation phase,
the HAS will be incorporated into the Guard System evaluation effort
with the Guard Test System (GTS) emulating the OCR RECON-Test
database. The GTS, which can emulate the HAS and/or the OCR
RECON-Test database, is being used in the HAS emulation mode at this
time. This mode will be sufficient for the RECON/Guard program
requirements.
