Hey Pat, don't hurt your arm patting yourself on the back there!!!

Seriously though this is good news. Any time 'Our' OS gets this sort of recognition it's a good thing. It's still up to each shop to properly implement things, this at least says it can be done. A potential sales edge when up against those 'lesser OSs' :o)

i5/OS has been OFFICIALLY certified for Common Criteria at Evaluation
Assurance Level 4 (EAL 4)!  This is the certification which most closely
matches the old US Government C2 rating.

http://niap.nist.gov/cc-scheme/st/ST_VID4035.html  contains all of the
details.
Also on this page is the e-mail of the IBMer who did the legwork to make
sure it all happened! Feel free to send him an "atta-boy" if you are so
inclined!
