Common Criteria Overview

Common Criteria (CC) for information technology is an international agreement. Several countries have signed this agreement to assess the information technology products based on standardized criteria. In the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA), the participants have mutually agreed to recognize the product evaluations conducted in authorized laboratories in other countries. The authorized laboratories use a common methodology for information technology security evaluation.

CC Configuration Overview

CC configuration provides the steps required to duplicate the CC compliance evaluation configuration for your device with Junos OS. This is referred to as the evaluated configuration. This evaluated configuration ensures your device, sometimes referred as target of evaluation (TOE), adheres to the evaluation standards mentioned in Table 1.
