Description
Today’s increasing use of information technology has led to new methods of storage and processing of information. As a result of the packaging density on silicon, in the form of a microchip and improvements in performance, it is possible to process more and more information in parallel and at speed.
Complex microchips, which are able to process information, unfortunately introduce risks and dangers as well as huge advantages. Dependence on trouble-free functioning, as well as on the effectiveness of the protection measures, which have been carried out at the system and chip levels, has grown a great deal.
One must therefore be aware of the increased opportunities to test important information systems, including hardware against accepted criteria, in order to make the assurance of the security measures more transparent to the manufacturer, operator and user.
This state-of-the-art document supporting the EUCC scheme shall serve as a handbook for the application of CC to hardware components in respect of integrated circuits. This document will be of particular interest to manufacturers, evaluators and certifiers
