This session presents an overview of certification and accreditation standards applicable to software-based systems deployed in environments requiring high robustness. These standards were developed to define methodologies for independent validation of security and safety properties in software-based systems. The standards define levels of assurance with each increase in level offering more confidence in software correctness. High robustness systems require higher certification levels such as DO-178B Level A and Common Criteria EAL6+. These higher levels necessitate a significant increase in certification effort which translates to increases in product cost. The session focuses on these higher certification levels and discusses places where standards overlap leading to a possible reuse of artifacts and subsequent cost savings.
