the United States and Germany. atsec tested and validated the
security, performance and reliability of the solution against the
Common Criteria Standard for Information Security Evaluation
(ISO/IEC 15408) at EAL4+.

Paul Smith, vice president and general manager, Public Sector,
Red Hat
“We're exceptionally proud that Red Hat JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform has, once again, been granted Common Criteria
Certification. It's an important distinction that tells our
customers that when they use Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application
Platform they're using a Java EE server that's highly secure. In
short, they have the confidence that comes from knowing that their
sensitive applications, services and data is on a platform that
meets these rigorous security standards. Common Criteria
accreditation is a high water mark for security standards. It is a
non trivial effort in terms of labor and economic investment, and
is part of the value of the Red Hat subscription that
differentiates enterprise-class open source from the projects from
which they are derived."
Kenneth Hake, Common Criteria laboratory manager, atsec U.S.
