Re: [threadx-dev] [EXTERNAL] Re: Where to get Common Criteria EAL report

Hi Dr. Heinrich-Theodor,

For 2026, our certification focus will be on the following:
  • Achieve safety certification for ThreadX v6.4.1 (IEC 61508, ISO 26262, etc.)
  • Resume and complete an aborted SESIP security assessment that Microsoft was working on when they contributed ThreadX to the Eclipse Foundation.
The team working on the above is very small, so please consider joining the ThreadX Alliance to provide us with the resources we need to grow the team.

EAL certification is something we could consider for the future, but only if market demand warrants it. I invite anyone with an interest in this particular certification to let me know.

Best Regards,

Frédéric DESBIENS

Hi Bill,

thank you, this helps me further.

 

Are there any plans for a renewal of the common criteria certification or any other security approval, e.g. along IEC62443-4-x for ThreadX and its components?

 

Best Regards

Theo

Hi again,

 

Small correction, the EAL4 certification was completed in 2018 and expired in 2023, as stated in the report.

 

Best regards,


Bill

Hi Dr. Heinrich-Theodor,

 

The EAL4+ certification was done by Express Logic back in 2023 and was based on the 5.11 code base (I think).  Here is a news story about it at the time:

 

https://www.embedded.com/express-logic-to-obtain-common-criteria-eal4-security-certification-for-x-ware-iot-platform-sc/

 

What might be confusing is that the package certified was called “X-Ware IoT Platform SC,” which included ThreadX, NetX Duo, NetX Secure TLS, and NetX MQTT.  I found this certification link at SERTIT:

 

https://sertit.no/certified-products/product-archive/x-ware-iot-platform-sc

 

Here is the NIST link for the NetX Crypto 5.11 SP1 certification:

 

https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/certificate/3394

 

Of course, both of these certifications are for versions that are now quite old, but hopefully this will help!


Best regards,


Bill

Hello,

 

on ThreadX github https://github.com/eclipse-threadx/rtos-docs#eal4-common-criteria-security-certification CC certification to EAL4+ and FIPS 140-2 is mentioned.

Searching the web especially https://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/products/index.cfm and https://www.niap-ccevs.org/productsI didn’t found ThreadX or its components.

 

Do you have hint where to get appropriate CC EAL certificate/report.

 

Kind Regards

Dr. Ing. Heinrich-Theodor Hannen
