The mode of maximum security ensures the protection of information containing state secrets of any degree of secrecy.

The development of NIS built into the OS was another important change. The main security mechanisms - a closed software environment, mandatory integrity control, mandatory access control and guaranteed erasure of deleted data - now work independently of each other, which allows the user to more flexibly configure the security system taking into account the peculiarities of a particular information system. Mandatory integrity control automatically protects system and user from files unauthorized changes: you can create more isolated integrity levels (which allowed you to implement additional isolation), containers there is network filtering of packets by classification labels in the protocol, and IPv6 the file now server Samba supports mandatory access control on all versions of the SMB protocol.

Another key point is that the reissued certificate spells out the presence of database management system functions and a virtualization environment in the product. This further confirms the correctness of the use of built-in virtualization tools and DBMS in protected systems, as well as the implementation of security measures.

Other changes include support for an extended repository and updating key components: the main domain of FreeIPA - up to version 4.8.5, the file server of SambaDC - up to 4.12.5, the office suite of LibreOffice - up to 7.1. The product includes a secure edition of PostgreSQL 11.10 and network monitoring tools Zabbix 5.0.4. The OS also supports container virtualization.

For the convenience of users, the OS added color schemes, a login theme, the design of taskbar icons and the Start menu, installed the Astra Fact interface font, an analogue of the familiar proprietary Verdana, and also expanded the range of proprietary and third-party integrated applications.

Certificate of FSTEC of Russia for compliance with the requirements for the first level of trust

On April 8, 2020, Astra Linux GC of Companies, a Russian operating system developer, and the testing laboratory of JSC NPO Echelon announced the successful completion of the certification of the Astra Linux Special Edition special-purpose operating system release "Smolensk" version 1.6 according to the first level of trust in the means of technical protection of information and ensuring the security of information technologies in the certification system of the SSI FSTEC of Russia. The obtained certificate confirms the right to use Astra Linux Special Edition in information systems that process restricted information, including personal data, service, commercial and other types of secrets, including state secrets of the highest level of secrecy - "of particular importance."

Astra Linux Special Edition

In 2019, the Astra Linux Special Edition operating system was certified by the testing laboratory of JSC NPO Echelon in the certification system of the FSTEC of Russia in the 1st class of protection for information security requirements for general-purpose operating systems of type "A." In accordance with the requirements specified in the information message of the FSTEC of Russia dated March 29, 2019 No. 240/24/1525, and according to the Order of the FSTEC of Russia dated 30.07.2018 No. 131 and the Information Security Requirements approved by it, establishing levels of trust in information security tools and information technology security tools, " coming into force on June 01, 2019, the Astra Linux Special Edition special purpose operating system was to pass mandatory certification according to the strictest, 1st, level of trust.

In preparation for the certification tests during 2018-2019, the development infrastructure was significantly reorganized in Astra Linux GC: software procedures for supporting the life cycle of safe development (SDL) were created and implemented; with the involvement of experts of JSC NPO Echelon Institute of System Programming of the Russian Academy of , methods and means of verification and secure development were introduced, a trust stand was put into operation, within the framework of which the possibility of automated verification of software for potential errors by means of static and dynamic code analysis was implemented.

The reissued certificate No. 2557 confirms that the special-purpose operating system Astra Linux Special Edition release "Smolensk" version 1.6 fully meets all the requirements of the regulator up to the 1st level of trust and information protection class, inclusive, which ensures the legality of its use in IT systems of such customers as government bodies, state corporations and other structures working with information of any level of confidentiality and degree of secrecy.

File:Aquote1.png
The requirements of the FSTEC of Russia establish really strict standards for compliance with the safety and security of software. If during the development process the product does not have a quality control system and vulnerability detection tools, then it is impossible to pass certification by levels of trust. The higher the level (1st - maximum), the stricter the requirements and better investigated the product itself: more complex tools are used to check its program code, provide quick search, localization and elimination of the error. For quality control, we use unique scientific and technological solutions and tools both of our own development and obtained as a result of many years of partnership with the ISP RAS and JSC NPO Echelon. This is what allowed the Astra Linux GC team, in cooperation with experts from the testing laboratory of JSC NPO Echelon, specializing in integrated information security, to carry out a set of works and test tests for certification as soon as possible.

- comments Peter Devyanin, chief researcher Astra Linux GC
File:Aquote2.png

File:Aquote1.png
Certification of information protection tools for compliance with the highest level of trust is a very rare occurrence in our country. The FSTEC of Russia has significantly increased the requirements not only for the SMT itself, but also for the processes of their development, as well as for test laboratories and the testing tools used by them. During the tests, experts from JSC NPO Echelon used not only proprietary tools, such as AK-VS 3.0, PIK-Echelon, AppChecker, but also third-party tools. I would like to express my special gratitude to the representatives of the Astra Linux GC for their assistance. Astra Linux Special Edition introduced AK-VS 3.0 software, which allows you to automate all checks determined by the requirements of the regulator, which significantly reduces the time for testing,

The specialists of both companies have completed a set of work on the integration of the CryptoPro CSP crypto provider and Astra Linux software in order to provide users of the operating system with an intuitive graphical interface for creating and verifying enhanced qualified electronic signature of documents. The integration is carried out with respect to the suite of office and graphical desktop applications included in the operating system so that the user can easily, easily and quickly use the capabilities of, for example, a file manager to solve the problem of previewing an electronic document and then checking or creating an electronic signature.

Astra Linux Special Edition

Within the framework of the project, special work was organized, the results of which are aimed at confirming the legal significance of using the software tools included in the operating system that interact with the cryptographic information protection tool to create and verify an electronic signature.

The use of electronic signature is regulated by the Federal Law of 06.04.2013 No. 63-FZ "On Electronic Signature." It establishes the types of electronic signatures, the rules for their issuance and use, as well as the recognition of the legal force of signed documents.

File:Aquote1.png
Now the electronic signature is widely used in the interaction of state bodies, legal entities and individuals in legally significant electronic document management, with participation in public procurement, for reporting and in many other cases. The scope of her appeal is constantly growing. Everyone who regularly deals with electronic document management should highly appreciate our refinement, including because EPs can now be created and checked directly from the file manager without connecting to the EDMS. The service is really relevant for a wide range of users,
