What types of evaluations does DSD perform?
• AISEP evaluations and certificates • DSD Cryptographic Evaluations (DCE) • high grade cryptographic evaluation • high assurance evaluation • other DSD discrete evaluations. What is the difference between an AISEP evaluation and an AISEP certification? AISEP evaluations are conducted by an AISEF. AISEP certification is performed by the ACA. An AISEP evaluation applies the CC Evaluation Methodology (CEM) against CC assurance requirements. The evaluation aims to produce a standardised and repeatable result that facilitates mutual recognition of certifications across CCRA participating schemes. An AISEP certification represents the validation of the evaluation activities and results to the certifying body’s regulatory framework. The ACA’s regulatory framework is defined in the AISEP Publications (AP) 1 to 4. What is a DSD Cryptographic Evaluation (DCE)? DSD performs cryptographic evaluations independently of the AISEP; although a DCE may compliment an AISEP evaluation. ICT products progr
