Providing CEM observation reports

Annex C

Providing CEM observation reports

C.1

Introduction

1887

The Common Evaluation Methodology Editorial Board (CEMEB) provides this

 

document to their sponsoring organisations for use within the IT security

 

evaluation community. However, it recognises that this use may motivate

 

observations and/or comments on the document for consideration in future

 

versions.

1888

This annex details a mechanism by which to comment on the CEM. This

 

mechanism consists of a report format, the CEM Observation Report (CEMOR),

 

to be used to articulate an observation. Any observations should be submitted

 

through the sponsoring organisations listed in the Foreword of the document.

1889

Any comments should be submitted in the CEMOR format provided. This will

 

allow the CEMEB to process all comments in a common and methodical way. All

 

reviewers should include, where possible, substitution text or a clear resolution for

 

any of the conceptual problems, inconsistencies or technical difficulties identified.

C.2

Version 1.0

 

Providing CEM observation reports

 

$9: A verdict should be something that is the result of analysis. If a verdict is not

 

yet reached, it should be called something other than a verdict. An inconclusive

 

verdict could imply that the work was completed but questions remained (i.e., the

 

evaluator did not know whether it passed or failed.)

 

$10: Change the CEM to have two verdicts: pass and fail. Before a verdict is

 

reached should just be denoting as ‘awaiting verdict.’

 

$$

1902

Several CEMORs may be combined into a single submission. If this is done, fields

 

$1 through $4 need appear only once at the beginning. For each CEMOR

 

submitted, Fields $5 through $10 would appear next. The $$ shall appear

 

following the last CEMOR.
