March 16, 2009 Based on the results of evaluations against the Basic and Medium Robustness Protection Profiles and comments from vendors and our customers, NIAP has determined that the current U.S. Protection Profile Robustness model needs to be revised. The model assumed that the same assurance levels could be achieved for every technology. Also, the implementation did not create the necessary test plans and documentation needed to achieve consistent results across different products evaluated in different labs.
