The specific IT product being evaluated is referred to as the Target of
Evaluation (TOE). The security requirements for that product are described
in its security target. The DEVELOPERS write the security target. The
DEVELOPERS  write the scenerios. So, do you think they are going to pass
evaluation? Can't think of one product that was put forward for
validation, that was then dnied during the testing phase.

Read it once?--Do it every day and still get a kick out of it :)--helps me
get to sleep at night.

Gov. entities are required by NSTISSP #11 and DoDI 8500.2 to purchase
Common Criteria validated roducts, but that does not mean they are secure.

Almost like saying Common Criteria = Good Security as MCSE = Good
sysAdmin. Do we really believe that.

Agree w/ Tom -- Certs are only face value.
