	Documents are being written concurrent to development, though
we hope to have some documentetation on OSS within a few weeks.

To see the CAPP and LSPP (Controlled Access and Labeled Security Protection Profiles, see:

http://commoncriteria.org/protection_profiles/pp.html

Of the most interest -- skip to the Functional Requirements. That is the driving spec of 'features' needed for each. Effective Assurance requirements are docs required, code control requirements, fault remediation, testing required, formal or informal models, proof of model, mapping of OS onto modeletc -- i.e. all the paper work/administrative stuff ( sizeable requirements, but technically not very interesting). Note that a kludgy or complex implementation of the requirements may require alot more work at the 'proof' stage.
