"Oracle Corp. and IBM are jostling for a federal stamp of approval on Linux,
with both companies  announcing that they will submit their respective software
to certification processes.

"Oracle, of Redwood Shores, Calif., on Thursday will announce that it is submitting
Red Hat Inc.'s Linux Advanced Server for a Common Criteria (ISO 15408) evaluation
at EAL2 (Evaluation Assurance Level 2), according to Mary Ann Davidson, Oracle's
chief security officer.

"For its part, IBM on Wednesday announced that it will work with the Linux community
to enter the Common Criteria certification process for the Linux operating system
early this year and will proceed with a progressive plan for certifying Linux
at increasing security levels through this year and 2004."
