Protection Profiles in Development

The following table lists all US Government Protection Profiles currently being developed and gives a general indication of their current status. PPs that are in the “Public Review Phase” will be linked to the draft profile. Please note that there is no guarantee that the protection files listed will complete evaluation successfully. Technology areas with the [PP Available] icon indicate that a NIAP-validated PP(s) is available for that technology area. Clicking on the icon will take you to the Validated Protection Profile list on the NIAP CCEVS website. For additional information, please send inquiries to pp-comments@niap-ccevs.org.

Draft Protection Profiles in this archive section are no longer in the development process. The process was terminated for various reasons such as, the way we addressed the technology changed, or priority of task or resources to perform the task changed. In any case work is no longer being performed on the profile. However, they are posted here for information purposes since they contain a lot of good information that may be useful to developers or vendors.
