This paper will consider how Common Criteria evolved, how it is defined and how it is used in practice. As an example we will look at how Common Criteria is applied to smart card evaluations. This paper will not attempt to define in detail Common Criteria, nor should the reader expect to understand it in sufficient detail to be able to immediately participate in evaluations. It will, however, give a gentle introduction to what is a complex and demanding evaluation methodology.
