Canadian Trusted Computer Product Evaluation Criteria
The Canadian Trusted Computer Product Evaluation Criteria (CTCPEC) is a computer security standard published in 1993 by the Communications Security Establishment to provide an evaluation criterion on IT products. It is a combination of the TCSEC (also called Orange Book) and the European ITSEC approaches.
CTCPEC led to the creation of the Common Criteria standard.<ref name="Herrmann2002">Template:Cite book</ref>
