How does the SECURITRE/N2O Interface work?
The specifics of how this interface is used are documented in the N2O manuals. The diagram below illustrates the function of the interface itself: When the user attempts to access N2O (or any function of N2O), N2O calls the security system (RACF, ACF2, or TOP SECRET) through SECURITRE to verify that the user has the appropriate authorization. The security system verifies that the user is authorized and communicates the response back to N2O through SECURITRE. N2O then reacts appropriately, either allowing or denying access.
