Scope:

This Technical Report provides guidance relating to the construction of Protection Profiles (PPs) and Security Targets (STs) that are intended to be compliant with the third edition of ISO/IEC 15408. It is also applicable to PPs and STs compliant with Common Criteria Version 3.1 [1], a technically identical standard published by the Common Criteria Management Board, a consortium of governmental organizations involved in IT security evaluation and certification.

This Technical Report is not intended as an introduction to evaluation using ISO/IEC 15408. Readers who seek such an introduction should read Part 1 of ISO/IEC 15408.

This Technical Report does not deal with associated tasks beyond PP and ST specifications such as PP registration and the handling of protected intellectual property.
