Definition of a Protection Profile (PP): A PP defines
an implementation-independent set of IT security requirements
for a category of TOEs. Such TOEs are intended to meet
common consumer needs for IT security. Consumers can
therefore construct or cite a PP to express their IT
security needs without reference to any specific TOE.
Eurosmart members developed their first Protection Profile
related to smart cards in 1997.
The Eurosmart Security Working Group
is dealing with smart card related Protection Profile
developement since than. Until today about 10 certified
and about the same number of known attempts for smart
card related Protection Profile exist.
You will find in this area presentations
made by Eurosmart members on their work, a
list of certified smartcard related Protection Profiles,
links to useful sites and a list of certified smartcard
products that are compliant or based on a Protection
Profile.
