Linux wants to earn your trust (FCW.com)

Federal Computer Week takes a look at Trusted Linux. "TCS officials expect Trusted Linux to be certified under Common Criteria at Evaluation Assurance Level 4, [TCS COO Ed] Hammersla said. The EAL scale runs from 1 to 7, and 7 is the highest score. TCS officials plan to begin beta testing Trusted Linux this fall, Hammersla said. The operating system will form the foundation of a trusted computing base, a system of software, hardware and firmware that enforces a unified security policy."
