	Apple - Support - Security - Common Criteria
		Common Criteria, an internationally approved set of security standards, provides a clear and reliable evaluation of the security capabilities of Information Technology products.
		The international scope of Common Criteria, currently adopted by fourteen nations, allows users from other countries to purchase Information Technology products with the same level of confidence, since certification is recognized across all complying nations.
		Common Criteria aids customers in both of these processes through two key components: protection profiles and evaluation assurance levels.

	EAL4+ Common Criteria Certified - BorderWare Technologies Inc.
		The Common Criteria (CC) Certification scheme, also known as ISO standard 15408, was developed in 1999 as the international standard replacing the older C2 rating by the National Computer Security Center (NCSC).
		Common Criteria is a worldwide standard that was co-developed by national security organizations in the United States of America, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and The Netherlands.
		Common Criteria has emerged to become the world standard for certifying software and appliances as it involves formal rigorous analysis and testing to examine all security aspects of a product or system.

	Common Criteria
		The Common Criteria (CC) is an international standard (ISO 15408) for computer security.
		Its purpose is to allow users to specify their security requirements, to allow developers to specify the security attributes of their products, and to allow evaluators to determine if products actually meet their claims.
		As well as the Common Criteria standard, there is also a sub-treaty level Common Criteria MRA (Mutual Recognition Arrangement), whereby each party thereto recognizes evaluations against the Common Criteria standard done by other parties.

		In this article we will explain what the Common Criteria Certification is and what the EAL levels are, why they are important and broaden you horizons in yet another area of systems security.
		The Common Criteria Certification (much like ICSA labs for most Firewall products today), is a certification earned to ‘prove’ that a product such as Microsoft Windows 2000 is ‘certifiably’ tested and proven safe at a certain level.
		Since the Common Criteria is multinational, then that means worldwide use of a certified product should equal more safety, more security for the customers using the product.

	Automating the Common Criteria Evaluation Process (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This lack of supply of CCTLs is further exacerbated by the amount of time it takes to become a CCTL (it may take several years) and by the manual nature of the CC evaluation process.
		Soon after, various countries began initiatives to develop evaluation criteria and by June 1993 sponsoring organizations from several countries pooled their efforts and began a joint activity to align their separate criteria into a single set of practical IT security criteria.
		The outcome of domain analysis includes domain models and architectures that are common to families of applications.

		There is also a related document, the "Common Evaluation Methodology" (CEM), that guides evaluators how to apply the CC when doing formal evaluations (in particular, it amplifies what the CC means in certain cases).
		It can make sure that dependencies between requirements are met, suggest common requirements, and help you quickly develop a document, but it obviously can't do your thinking for you.
