(AR 380-380;)
  • The assurance, under all conditions, that a system will reflect the logical correctness and reliability of the operating system; the logical completeness of the hardware and software that implement the protection mechanisms; and the consistency of the data structures and accuracy of the stored data. In a formal security model, integrity is interpreted more narrowly to mean protection against unauthorized modification or destruction of information. (MTR-8201;)
