International Standards for operating systems

by jaqui . Updated 20 years, 10 months ago

In response to a question raised about the existence of such a beast, I contacted the member organisation of the ISO for Canada. Here is thier response:

In 1990, the ISO & IEC identified the need for international standards evaluation criteria to be used globally as they relate to IT security, computer systems, and networks. This is called the Common Criteria. The US, Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom & the Netherlands were the first to collaborate on the criteria. Here is a link to the Canadian Common Criteria site:

ISO & IEC have a committee called JTC1 (or Joint Technical Committee 1) that has many subcommittees and working groups assigned with standardizing systems, process, workflows, etc, as they related to computers and networks. The following 3 standards were published by JTC1/SC 27:
ISO/IEC 15408-1:1999 ?Information technology — Security techniques — Evaluation criteria for IT security — Part 1: Introduction and general model
