Synopsis

For commercial product developers who have to write or want to hire someone to write Common Criteria documentation, Writing Common Criteria Documentation is a must-read. Drawing upon over a dozen years of experience with the Common Criteria, Wes Higaki has written his follow-on to Successful Common Criteria Evaluations: A Practical Guide for Vendors. This time, he gets down to the details of producing the complex set of documents required for Common Criteria product security evaluations. He provides plain language explanations for the documentation requirements as well as tips and examples of how to efficiently write these documents. The book covers all of the documentation required for Evaluation Assurance Levels EAL2 and EAL4 including: Security Target, Configuration Management, Secure Delivery, Secure Development, Lifecycle Model, Flaw Remediation, Security Architecture, Functional Specifications, Design, Test, and Vulnerability Analysis.
