What EAL rating means?

Evaluation Assurance Level
An Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) is a category ranking assigned to an IT product or system after a Common Criteria security evaluation. The level indicates to what extent the product or system was tested. A product or system must meet specific assurance requirements to achieve a particular EAL.

Does the EAL provide any indication on the security of the product?

It is important to understand that the EAL level does not measure the level of security of the product that is under evaluation, but rather measures the degree to which the product’s security is tested. Therefore, a higher EAL does not necessarily indicate a more secure system.

The Common Criteria allow for seven Evaluation Assurance Levels (EALs), which will be discussed further. An overview of the common criteria can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Criteria.

What’s the difference between EAL 1 and 7?

The scope of the evaluation. The EAL levels imply that certain assurance components (SARs) are included. You can roughly say that assurance components define how deep and thoroughly something is tested/evaluated. Then there are also the security functional requirements (SFRs), written down in a security target.

What do you need to know about EAL levels?

Longer explanation: If you take a look at the EAL levels: Each EAL level introduces a set of security assurance components (SARs) that must be included in the evaluation such that the EAL level is met.

Which is the most stringent of the Common Criteria?

Common Criteria lists seven levels, with EAL 1 being the most basic (and therefore cheapest to implement and evaluate) and EAL 7 being the most stringent (and most expensive).
