CCEVS Objectives
NIST and NSA have the following objectives in developing, operating, and maintaining an evaluation and validation scheme:
The scheme is intended to serve many communities of interest with very diverse roles and responsibilities. This community
includes IT product developers, product vendors, value-added resellers, systems integrators, IT security researchers,
acquisition/procurement authorities, consumers of IT products, auditors, and accreditors (individuals deciding the fitness
for operation of those products within their respective organizations). Close cooperation between government and
industry is paramount to the success of the scheme and the realization of its objectives. |
