ABSTRACT
Fig. 1 illustrates the development of the Common
Criteria.
The specific international organizations that are repre-
sentatives to the Common Criteria include:
NIST (United States) NSA (United States) SCSSI (France) NLNCSA (the Netherlands) CSE (Canada) CESG (United Kingdom)
The international recognition of the Common Criteria
comes via the signing of a Mutual Recognition
Arrangement (MRA) between the various countries. The
MRA enables products that have earned Common Criteria
certification to be used in different jurisdictions without the
need for them to be reevaluated and recertified each time.
The recognition of the results of the single evaluations
means that products evaluated in one MRA member nation
can be accepted in the other member nations.
