The conference is an annual event and running on it's 13th year. ICCC offers certification/validation strategies and evaluation laboratories. The first conference happened in year 2000, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
The other objective was to unify the security evaluation standards existing at this time: the European ITSEC standard. Governments globally should make sure that that whatever products they use comply with key security criteria, and are standardized and work with existing technology.
Common Criteria is an international standard for evaluating IT product security and assurance. The standard drives mutual recognition of secure IT products and is considered a mandatory requirement for purchasing network security products by governments worldwide. The conference this year will happen in Pullman Montparnasse Hotel, Paris, France between Sept. 18-20, 2012
