Red Hat goes for Common Criteria approval

Red Hat has joined with IBM and software maker Trusted Computer Solutions (TCS) to enter Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for evaluation under the Common Criteria security scheme. Red Hat expects its upcoming RHEL 5 to achieve Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL 4), the highest level generally achieved by commercial software. The Common Criteria is an ISO standard recognised by more than a dozen national governments as well as large businesses with stringent security requirements. The increasing levels of certification achieved by Linux distributions are an important milestone for the platform's maturity, because many organisations can't run software that doesn't have the right certification.
