Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA)
The National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) serves as the U.S. representative to the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA), Composed of 31 member nations.
The purpose of this Arrangement is to ensure IT products evaluated according to the terms of the CCRA are mutually recognized by all member nations, allowing industry to evaluate products once and sell to many nations.
The U.S. Government and its foreign partners in the Arrangement share the following objectives with regard to evaluations of IT products and protection profiles:
Ensure evaluation of IT products and protection profiles are performed to high and consistent standards and contribute significantly to confidence in the security of those products and profiles.
Increase the availability of evaluated, security-enhanced IT products and protection profiles for national use.
Eliminate duplicate evaluations of IT products and protection profiles.
Continuously improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of security evaluations and the certification/validation process for IT products and protection profiles.
