A Common Criteria rating of “structurally tested” means the design meets what level of verification?

A. EAL 1

B. EAL 2

C. EAL 4

D. EAL 5

Solution

B. An evaluation that is carried out and meets an evaluation assurance level (EAL) 2 specifies that the design has been structurally tested. Answers A, C, and D are incorrect because EAL 1 = functionally tested; EAL 4 = methodically designed, tested, and reviewed; and EAL 5 = semi-formally designed and tested.
