This section applies to software, hardware and software-hardware tools in the computer and automated systems used for cryptographic protection against unauthorized access to information processed, stored, accumulated and transmitted in computing systems built on the basis of individual computers, computer complexes and local area networks located within the same controlled zone.

The provisions of this section may also be applied in the case of several controlled zones, provided that the communication between them is carried out using channels protected by means of ZAS or CIPF equipment, through which, in accordance with the current regulatory documents, the transmission of classified information of the corresponding classification is permitted (see paragraph 6.15 of this section).

6.2. Organizational and methodological management of the work on the creation and operation of the cryptographic information protection tool, certification of the cryptographic information protection tool, as well as control over the status and development of this area of work are carried out by the State Technical Commission of Russia and the Main Cipher Authority of the country through a number of specialized organizations authorized by them.

6.3. With the help of the cryptographic information protection tool, protection against unauthorized access to non-classified and official information, as well as to information classified as “Secret,” “Top Secret,” and “Special Importance” can be implemented.

6.4. When developing a cryptographic information protection tool (or a computer technology product containing a cryptographic information protection tool) intended to protect classified information of any classification, as well as to protect valuable and especially valuable information[4], the technical specifications for the cryptographic information protection tool must be agreed upon with the State Technical Commission of Russia and the Main Encryption Authority of the country.

Along with the technical specifications, a configuration diagram of the protected computer equipment or automated system, a description of the structure of the information objects to be protected (indicating the maximum secrecy classification), as well as data on the characteristics of the access and the proposed administrative structures of the users must be sent.

6.5. Based on the results of reviewing the initial data, the above-mentioned bodies provide the developer of the cryptographic information protection tool with recommendations on the use of one of the certified encryption algorithms, as well as (if necessary) a description of its cryptographic scheme, cryptographic constants, test examples for checking the correctness of the algorithm implementation, recommendations on the construction of the key cryptographic information protection tool system, and a number of other documents.

6.6. Based on the documents received, the developer implements the cryptographic information protection tool in the form of a software or hardware product and, with the involvement of specialized organizations, prepares the necessary materials for certification of the cryptographic information protection tool in accordance with the Certification Regulation.

The acceptance of the prototypes obtained as a result of development is carried out by a commission created by the Customer of the cryptographic information protection tool. The commission must include representatives of the State Technical Commission of Russia and the Main Cipher Authority of the country.

6.7. Certification of the cryptographic information protection tool is carried out on a cost-accounting basis. Positive certification of the cryptographic information protection tool is completed by issuing a certification certificate.

6.8. The use of cryptographic information protection tools that have not been certified in the established manner for protection against unauthorized access to classified information of any classification, as well as valuable and especially valuable information, is prohibited.

6.9. When implementing an AS containing a certified cryptographic information protection tool and provided that this AS is intended for processing classified information with a classification no higher than “Top Secret” or for processing valuable information, no additional permission to operate the certified cryptographic information protection tool is required (except for cases specifically stipulated in the certification certificate for the cryptographic information protection tool).

For AS intended for processing information classified as «Special Importance» or for processing particularly valuable information, written permission must be obtained from the State Technical Commission of Russia and the Main Cipher Authority of the country for the operation of the cryptographic information protection tool as part of a specific AS.

6.10. The operation of the cryptographic information protection tool used to protect classified or valuable information must be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Instructions being developed for ensuring the safety of the operation of the cryptographic information protection tool as part of the AS and the Instructions on the procedure for using current replaceable keys.

An organization operating the AS must create an information security service (body) that is responsible for implementing the measures provided for by the above instructions.

6.11. The secrecy classification of current replaceable keys and corresponding key documents when protecting information from unauthorized access using cryptographic information protection tools must correspond to the maximum secrecy classification of information encrypted using these keys.

Media with key documentation of the cryptographic information protection tool recorded on them are accounted for, stored and destroyed as ordinary documents of the corresponding secrecy classification in accordance with the Instruction on Ensuring the Secrecy Regime No. 0126-87.

6.12. CIPF without entered cryptographic constants and active replaceable keys have a secrecy classification corresponding to the classification of the cryptoscheme description. CIPF with loaded cryptographic constants has a secrecy classification corresponding to the classification of the cryptographic constants. The secrecy classification of CIPF with loaded cryptographic constants and entered keys is determined by the maximum classification of the keys and cryptographic constants contained in the CIPF.

6.13. The ciphertext obtained by encrypting open secret information of any classification using CIPF is non-secret.

External data carriers (magnetic tapes, disks, cassettes, floppy disks, etc.) with encrypted information can be sent, stored and accounted for as non-secret if they do not contain and have not previously contained open secret information.

6.14. Unprotected communication channels may be used to transmit ciphertext obtained by encrypting non-classified information using a cryptographic information protection tool outside the controlled area.

If the initial information (before encryption) was classified as “For Official Use Only,” then only a certified cryptographic information protection tool may be used.

6.15. To transmit ciphertext obtained by encrypting information classified as «Secret» or higher using cryptographic information protection tools outside the controlled area, communication channels protected by communication encryption equipment must be used, for which permission to transmit classified information has been obtained in accordance with applicable regulatory documents. In this case, no special permission to operate cryptographic information protection tools is required.

The procedure for creating encryption equipment, i.e. cryptographic means of various types (hardware and software-hardware), intended to protect information transmitted outside the controlled area via unprotected communication channels, is regulated by the Regulation on the development, manufacture and operation of encryption equipment, state and departmental communication and control systems and weapons systems using encryption equipment.

6.16. Responsibility for proper compliance with the rules for the operation of cryptographic information protection tools (including during the period of acceptance testing) is assigned to the management of enterprises operating these cryptographic information protection tools.

6.17. Control over compliance with the requirements of the operating instructions for the cryptographic information protection tool is assigned to the information security services of the enterprises operating these cryptographic information protection tools.
