JBoss is an application server that I keep seeing pop up lately. To their credit they are attempting to get Common Criteria certification.
From GCN:
The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform has embarked on Common Criteria certification, Red Hat announced yesterday. Red Hat oversees the development of this open-source application server software.
The company also announced that its MetaMatrix Data Services Platform will undergo certification. MetaMatrix provides data management capabilities for service-oriented architectures.
JBoss will be going under Evaluation Assurance Level 2, a company spokesperson said. The lab that will do the work has not been chosen yet.
Common Criteria is an internationally standardized framework for characterizing how secure a given software product is under normal operating conditions.
From a security perspective it hasn’t been too bad.
