With today's announcement, Oracle has successfully completed Common
Criteria Evaluations at EAL4 -- the highest level generally achieved by
commercial software -- for the following products: Oracle Internet Directory,
a component of Oracle Identity Management; Oracle9i Database Release 2; and
Oracle9i Label Security Release 2. The availability of these products is
essential to security-aware customers who must comply with procurement
policies such as National Security Telecommunications Information Systems
Security Policy (NSTISSP) Number 11, which requires information systems
involved in nation security to have independent measures of assurance and U.S.
Department of Defense Directives. Oracle's security evaluations have long
positioned the company as a leader in delivering secure, independently
evaluated software to organizations in the public and private sectors.
The Common Criteria evaluation of Oracle Internet Directory is a
significant evaluation of Oracle's middleware offering. The evaluation also
complements the recently completed Federal Information Processing Standards
Publication (FIPS) 140-2 evaluation of the Oracle Cryptographic Libraries
Secure Socket Layer, a key component of Oracle Application Server. Together,
these evaluations provide additional assurance to customers that rely on
Oracle for secure middleware capabilities.
As proof of Oracle's ongoing dedication to the Linux platform, the company
completed Common Criteria evaluations for Oracle9i Database Release 2 and
Oracle9i Label Security Release 2 on Novell SuSE Linux. These are the first
evaluations Oracle has completed on the Linux platform and provide customers
with the ability to use independently tested Oracle products with an open
source operating system. Customers can be confident that Linux is built to
run their mission-critical business applications.
"Our recent Common Criteria evaluations solidify Oracle's position as a
leader in security," said Mary Ann Davidson, chief security officer, Oracle
Corp. "These evaluations also underscore our commitment to delivering secure
products on Linux and to extending the formal security evaluation process to
Oracle's entire platform."
