About Common Criteria
Common Criteria, the first international standard for IT security evaluation, opens the way to worldwide mutual recognition of evaluation results. The National Information Assurance Partnership, a joint program sponsored by the National Security Agency and the National Institute of Standards and Technology is the program that implements Common Criteria in the United States. This partnership between the public and private sectors helps organizations select commercial off-the-shelf information technology (IT) products that meet their security requirements and helps manufacturers of those products gain acceptance in the global marketplace. Twenty countries now recognize the Common Criteria as the official third-party evaluation criteria for IT security procedures.
