atsec achieves Common Criteria Certification for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 5.3 at EAL4
Austin, TX - atsec information security is pleased to announce the successful Common Criteria Certification of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 5.3 at EAL 4 (augmented for flaw remediation) with the Controlled Access Protection Profile (CAPP). Under Common Criteria, products are evaluated against strict standards for various features, including security functionality, development environment, security vulnerability handling, documentation of security-related topics, and product testing.The evaluation covers a potentially distributed, but closed, network of Dell 11th Generation PowerEdge servers running the evaluated version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and also includes the evaluated version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux running under Xen on the Dell 11th Generation PowerEdge servers. The cryptography provided by OpenSSL, which is used by security-enforcing components, was tested using the Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) established by NIST. This validation demonstrates the compliance of the OpenSSL cryptographic algorithms with a reference implementation.
The certification of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 5.3 through NIAP’s Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) adds another open-source operating system to atsec's portfolio of more than 60 OS evaluations during the course of the last decade. Staff members at atsec have extensive experience with ITSEC and Common Criteria — some dating back to the 1980's.
The evaluation technical report and the certificate will be available on the NIAP web site and also on the Common Criteria portal:
