14 What is the CTCPEC? (Computer Security Evaluation)

The Canadian Trusted Computer Product Evaluation Criteria is
the Canadian equivalent of the TCSEC. It is somewhat more
flexible than the TCSEC (along the lines of the ITSEC) while
maintaining fairly close compatibility with individual TCSEC
requirements. The CTCPEC is available at
<http://www.cse.dnd.ca/Services/Criteria/English/Criteria.html>.

On 21 August 1995, The National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) released a draft National Computer Systems
Laboratoty (NCSL) Bulletin. This draft bulletin adresses the
relationship of low assurance products evaluated under the
TCSEC, ITSEC, and CTCPEC. In the case of the CTCPEC, it is
recommended that if an appropriate C2 rated product is not
available, that CTCPEC products rated with a C2 functionality
profile and T1 assurance be used.
