ISO/TS 17574:2004

ISO/TS 17574:2004 gives guidelines for the preparation and evaluation of security requirements specifications, referred to as Protection Profiles (PP) in ISO/IEC 15408 and ISO/IEC TR 15446, for the production of PPs and security targets. A PP is a set of security requirements which meet specific needs for a category of products or systems. A typical example would be a PP for OBEs to be used in an EFC system. In this case the PP would be an implementation-independent set of security requirements for the OBEs meeting the operators' and users' needs.
