Common Criteria
The Common Criteria (CC) is an international standard for computer security. It provides assurance that the process of specifying, developing, and evaluating a computer security product has been conducted in a rigorous manner. The CC originated out of three standards -- ITSEC, a European standard, developed in the early 1990s by France, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and also used by some other countries including Australia and New Zealand; TCSEC (also called the "Orange Book"), the US standard, and CTCPEC, the Canadian standard. CC was produced by unifying these pre-existing standards, so that companies selling computer products for defence or intelligence use would only need to have them evaluated against one set of standards. As well as the CC standard, there is also a sub-treaty named Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA). This was established between Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States in 1998, whereby each party thereto recognises evaluations against the Common Criteria standard approved by other parties. Australia and New Zealand joined the CCRA in 1999.

This survey provides the most up to date and authoritative analysis of computer network attack and computer misuse trends in Australia over the last 12 months. The survey aims to raise awareness of the complex nature of computer security issues, identify areas of concern and, where appropriate, to motivate organisations to take a more active role in protecting their systems.

Cyber Traps
In government and private sectors there is an increasing reliance on the Internet and other electronic enabling facilities for carrying out day-to-day business. This paper is designed to raise awareness of the crime, misconduct and security risks inherent in the cyber environment. It may be particularly useful for managers with limited technical knowledge.

Information Security
Every organisation has privileged information, some of which may be financially or politically valuable. Such information should be subject to an appropriate degree of internal control, as would be applied to physical assets. Narelle George, Misconduct Prevention Officer, Queensland Crime and Misconduct Commission, and Prue Gordon have prepared a paper on this subject. © Crime and Misconduct Commission
