Common Criteria is an international standard for evaluating IT security. It was developed by a consortium of

countries to replace a number of existing country-specific security assessment processes, and was intended to establish

a single standard for international use. Currently, fourteen countries officially recognize the Common Criteria. Several

version of IOS IPsec and Cisco routers have now been evaluated under the Australasian Information Security

Evaluation Program (AISEP) against the ITSEC or the Common Criteria.
