The levels of security are defined in the Trusted Computer System
Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC, also known as the Orange Book  - it's cover
is orange; it is also a Defense Department standard, DoD 5200.28-STD).
It is part of the rainbow series, so called because the various
reference books, all on the subject of computer security, have
different colored covers - e.g., Orange Book, Red Book, etc.).  They are
available upon request from the National Computer Security Center, 9800
Savage Road, Fort George Meade, Maryland, 20755-6000.  A university
library might well already have a copy, possibly even a full set of the
rainbow series.
