My reading of this announcement is that the products listed meet certain quality assurance certifications, not that there are new "certifications" available for these products. I know the Common Criteria certfication is a security products certification used to identify products that have been evaluated and meet a designated level of standards. The Common Criteria is used in government circles; when they want to buy equipment to meet a certain security level, they look at the Common criteria and find a product that meets that security spec. So, if a manufacturer can get his product certified and on the list, good things will come from it.
If you go to this web site, it has a bit of an explanation and a list of products certified or being evaluated from Austalia's point of view: http://www.dsd.gov.au/infosec/aisep/EPL.html Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=65702&t=65676 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
