Definition
-CC
-Evaluation Assurance 1-7
-Most commonly accepted as secure for commercial applications is EAL 4
-Lower than 4 is not secure
Term
EAL-1
Definition
Functionality - Correct operation, threats are not serious
Term
EAL-2
Definition
Structure: Low to moderate level of security
Term
EAL-3
Definition
Methodology: An analysis supported by testing, selective independent confirmation of the vendor test results, vendor search for obvious vulnerabilities
Term
EAL-4
Definition
Methodology and Design: Evaluation moderate to high level of independently assured security, unconventional products
-Minimum level for govt.
Term
EAL-5
Definition
Semiformal Design - High level security in a planned development, rigorous approach Resistance to pen attackers with a moderate attack potential
Term
EAL-6
Definition
Development of specialized security products, application in high risk situations. Resistance to penetration attackers with high attack potential
Term
EAL-7
Definition
Formal Design: Used in the development of security products for application in EXTREMELY HIGH RISK situations. Evidence of vendor testing, independent confirmation.

IMA Integrity Measurement Architecture
Definition
-Open Source Alternative that creates a measured runtime environment
-List of components that need to load
-Anchors that list to TPM
Term
IMA
Definition
-a runtime measurement list
-can be linked to TPM
-used to attest to the system's runtime integrity
Term
Integrity Measurement Architecture
Definition
Provides the following services:
- Collect – measure a file before it is accessed.
- Store – add the measurement to a kernel resident list and, if a hardware Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is present, extend the IMA
-PCR
- Attest – if present, use the TPM to sign the IMA PCR value, to allow a remote validation of the measurement list.
Term
EMI Leakage
Definition

RF signals caused by data streams from keyboards, hard drives, network connections, video display

Term
EMI Injection
Definition

Modifiying security through injecting EMI to change sensor or other input
