Issue:
Some content and presentation (C&P) elements in the CC assurance
requirements
refer to characteristics of the TOE or the assurance and not to the
content and
presentation of evidence about the TOE or the assurance.
Interpretation
The C&P elements cover both the content of the evidence and the characteristics of the TOE or the assurance being address by that component. The CC is intrepreted as detailed in the specific change below.
Specific
Changes
To address this interpretation, the following changes are made to CC v2.1, Part 3, paragraph 50: "and what information the evidence shall convey" is changed to ", what information the evidence shall convey, and, when considered appropropriate, specific characteristics that either the TOE or this assurance must possess."
Rationale
This interpretation
recognizes that C&P elements cover both the content of the
evidence
and the characteristics of the TOE or the assurance being address by
that
component.
