4. The Global Information Grid (GIG) and the Common Criteria (CC) Global Information Grid Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 (reference (d)) and Title 10, U.S.C., Section 2223 (reference (a)) All DoD and Intelligence Community Computers Information Assurance G&PM: 5.2.20. Consult the IA Technical Framework (IATF) and published Common Criteria (CC) Protection Profiles for guidance regarding common classes of network and system attacks, interoperability and compatibility with the defense-in-depth strategy, and IA solutions that should be considered to counter attacks. 5.2.21. Acquire IA solutions that have been evaluated using the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme based on the National Information Assurance Program (NIAP) process. NIAP - Collaboration between NIST and NSA for security evaluation

5. Common Criteria Sections I.Introduction and General Model II.Security Functional Requirements III.Security Assurance Requirements

6. I.Introduction and General Model Defines general concepts and principals of IT security evaluation. Provides constructs for defining and selecting security objectives Provides guidelines for writing high-level specifications

7. II. Security Functional Requirements Provides functional components

8. III. Security Assurance Requirements Provides assurance requirements Evaluation Criteria of PP and ST Provides evaluation levels with a predefined scale (EAL’s)

9. Common Criteria I. Introduction and General Model

10. Definitions- Target of Evaluation (TOE) — An IT product or system and its associated administrator and user guidance documentation that is the subject of an evaluation. Protection Profile (PP) — An implementation-independent set of security requirements for a category of TOEs that meet specific consumer needs. Security Target (ST) — A set of security requirements and specifications to be used as the basis for evaluation of an identified TOE.

22. Definitions- Package — A reusable set of either functional or assurance components (e.g. an EAL), combined together to satisfy a set of identified security objectives. Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) — A package consisting of assurance components from Part 3 that represents a point on the CC predefined assurance scale.

New Items in CAPP 5.1 Security Audit-lists 19 auditable events All modifications to the values of security attributes Actions taken due to audit storage failure 5.3.2 Strength of Authentication Data Single guess has less than 1/1,000,000 chance Multiple attempts in one minute have less than 1/100,000 chance 5.4 Security Management-specifies requirements and roles. 6.2 Delivery and Operation

31. Labeled Security Protection Profile (LSPP) Version 1.b Developed by NSA Designed to replace B1

32. B1 vs LSPP

33. New Items in LSPP 5.1 Security Audit-lists 19 auditable events All attempts to import user data, including any security attributes Actions taken due to audit storage failure 5.3.2 Strength of Authentication Data Single guess has less than 1/1,000,000 chance Multiple attempts in one minute have less than 1/100,000 chance 5.4 Security Management-specifies requirements and roles. 6.2 Delivery and Operation
