"The Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (abbreviated as Common Criteria or CC) is an international standard (ISO/IEC 15408) ...in which computer system users can specify their security functional requirements (SFRs) and security assurance requirements (SARs) through the application of Protection Profiles" (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Criteria). The Common Criteria process is based on two key elements: protection profiles and security targets. Protection profiles (PPs) specify the security requirements and protections for the for the Target of Evaluation - (TOE) , which are considered the security desires or the “I want” from a customer. Security targets (STs) specify the claims of security from the vendor that are built into a TOE. STs are considered the implemented security measures or the “I will provide” from the vendor.
