TL SET, Security Editor Tool from Trusted Labs, Updated for Common
Criteria version 3.1
A
number of Protection Profiles in CC version 3.1 come with the tool
– Trusted Labs, a leader in security consulting for
converging services, today announces that its security editing tool, TL
SET, has been updated for Common Criteria 3.1 - the new version of the
international standard for IT security evaluations.
Included in this update are six new certified Protection Profiles -
originally written for the Common Criteria versions 2.3 and 3.0 - which
Trusted Labs has converted to the Common Criteria version 3.1. These
Protection Profiles, certified by DCSSI (the French certification
body), are now integrated within TL SET and address the following
applications:
- On-the-fly mass storage encryption
- IP encryptor
- Client VPN
- Electronic signature creation module
- Electronic signature verification module
- Time-stamping system.
TL SET will soon also include the new version of
PP9911 Protection Profile for smart card operating systems adapted for
Common Criteria version 3.1, expected to be ready by Q1 2009. Trusted
Labs was commissioned by DCSSI as the leader and technical editor of
the working group - which includes the main smart card vendors and
Eurosmart representatives - adapting the PP9911 Protection Profile.
Claire Loiseaux, CEO of Trusted Labs, comments: "Clients already call
on us for new CC version 3.1 projects. Trusted Labs can now support its
customers to start new CC evaluations or to migrate products to the new
CC version."
What is a Protection Profile?
A Protection Profile states the security problem for a given IT system
and specifies the security requirements to address that problem,
without stating how these requirements are to be implemented. It can
serve as a template for the Security Target needed for a Common
Criteria evaluation. The six Protection Profiles that come with TL SET
provide a standard and approved set of criteria against which to
evaluate all digital products.
What is TL SET?
TL SET is a security editing tool that automates security specification
methodology, making it easier and faster to create a Security Target or
a Protection Profile, while giving more reliable results. Heavily used
by Trusted Labs consultants, this tool is also available to Trusted
Labs customers and partners willing to develop in-house security
specification capabilities for their products and services.
