Talk:Evaluation Assurance Level

message: Does anyone know if EAL certifications are transferrable to subsequent versions of the same software? IE - if version 1.0 of something holds an EAL 4 certification, does that mean that version 2.0 will hold the same certification or does 2.0 have EAL 0 until it's evaluated?

message: On their homepage at <http://www.lynuxworks.com/solutions/security.php>, it is stated that "the new LynxSecure separation kernel from LynuxWorks is the only operating system that supports both Common Criteria EAL-7 and DO-178B level A" and this seems to be in contradiction to the wording in the wikipedia article that "the Tenix Interactive Link Data Diode Device has been evaluated at EAL7 augmented, the only product to do so".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.233.18.20 (talk) 08:51, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The text describing the levels appears to have been copied from somewhere. I see this material on several other websites. It may be in the standard, but that standard may itself be under a restricted copyright. Any ideas? GreenReaper (talk) 22:26, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

message: In http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/products_OS.html#OS is stated that Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 are EAL1 (not EAL4) certified. I removed those systems from the section about EAL4. Can anyone verify this case further?
They were EAL1 and EAL4 was in evaluation, the source is from when it was still being evaluated. It wasn't updated on the main list but other pages on the site list the current rating. See http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/files/epfiles/st_vid10291-st.pdf
"The evaluation determined the Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 TOE to be Part 2 extended, and to meet the Part 3
Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL 4) augmented with ALC_FLR.3 requirements."

is a link to a device that has EAL-7 - a Secure Optical Switch - However Compucat was bought by Raytheon so there is no indication of the current availability of the device (and/or Compucat's other E6 devices)

message: I recently read about seL4 ( Paper here ), the biggest claim of which is that it is formally verified, which seems to meet EAL7.  If so, as the first formally verified kernel it may deserve mention.  Can anyone confirm this?  One of NICTAs proposals for seL4 Future of Trust in Computing claims that seL4 would meet EAL7 easily.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.119.79 (talk) 02:42, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
