Re:"C2" and "security" (Score 2)

Another thing everyone must realize is that there is really no such thing as saying a piece of hardware or software is C2 ccertified. It is capable of receiving a C2 certification, meaning that if the entire system (hardware and software)is installed correctly and configured correctly to the C2 standards it can receive a C2 certification. A C2 certification is only awarded on an installed system of both hardware and software. Its certification is based on the physical installation itself rather than some inherent capability of a piece of hardware or software. So, if the entire system is not installed in its final location and completly setup it cannot be C2 certified.
