ABSTRACT

The Common Criteria represents the outcome of a series of efforts to develop criteria for evaluation of IT security that are broadly useful within the international community. As the Common Criteria is implemented, users need in-depth answers to questions:

Why do we have a Common Criteria?
Wasn't the TCSEC good enough?
Why do I care about it?
What are the current issues related to the use of the Common Criteria?
What is a protection profile?
