Does anyone know if EAL certifications are transferrable to subsequent versions of the same software? IE - if version 1.0 of something holds an EAL 4 certification, does that mean that version 2.0 will hold the same certification or does 2.0 have EAL 0 until it's evaluated?

216.54.146.100 19:07, 27 February 2006 (UTC)No, it won't apply. It's for that configuration only, any changes will need to be recertified. Why windows 2000 only has EAL 4 for SP3

What is EAL4+?? Seems most devices are trying for EAL4+ these days instead of EAL4



It might be worth noting that one company is currently seeking an eal 6+ certification for an operating system. I'm not sure if its relevant until they actually get (or don't get) the certification, but some readers may be interested. The press release is here: http://www.ghs.com/news/20050419_SAIC.html
