Re: Common Criteria Certification

To double-check my own understanding, I verified with the program manager responsible for our participation in certification programs. Common Criteria evaluation will begin soon.

And speaking of stymied, I'm at a loss to make the link between my knowing your email and the spouse of an MSRC employee! Just so that everyone here knows: you are all welcome to email me privately. If I have to forward your mail to someone else to get an answer, I cut out all identifying information first. Only I will know your email/phone/blood type/credit history/temperature of your ass in your chair. :)

Steve, this came from someone who is married to a Microsoft person in the
MSRC. (Now you understand why I prefer not to contact you privately.) We were
told that Microsoft has chosen to pursue a different certification but that
it is not the Common Criteria. We know of no other certifications, and we are
close to the NSA here. We can't seem to get any more information than that.
The account team is stymied. Thank you, we will watch for the posting on
CCEVS.

I wanted to try to find out from you where you heard this information,
because it's wrong. We are indeed pursuing Common Criteria (ISO/IEC 15408)
certification for both Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. In fact, we
expect both to be listed at
http://www.niap-ccevs.org/cc-scheme/in_evaluation.cfm in a few weeks.
