Common Criteria is an international standard (ISO/IEC 15408) for computer security certification. This
standard is a set of requirements, tests, and evaluation methods that ensures that the Target of Evaluation
complies with a specific Protection Profile or custom Security Target. For more information, see the security
target document for specific Cisco Catalyst switch models and Cisco IOS Releases at:
