Technical Advisory Approval of Security and Secureness

"Technical Advisory Approval of Security and Secureness" is not a single, universally standardized term. It generally refers to a formal review and decision process where a designated technical advisory body evaluates whether a product, system, or project meets specified security (protection against threats) and secureness (reliability, safety, or functional robustness) requirements, and then grants an approval or recommendation.

🛡️ Core Meaning and Context

The phrase combines three distinct concepts:

• Technical Advisory: A group of experts providing guidance or a formal advisory document.
• Security: Protection against malicious threats (e.g., cyberattacks, unauthorized access).
• Secureness: Often used to imply reliability, safety, or being free from danger or risk (sometimes overlapping with "safety" in certain contexts).

🏗️ Typical Approval Workflow (Example: Smart Card Certification)

Many formal approval schemes follow a structured path involving a Technical Expert Confirmation (TEC) or similar body. Based on the German DK Approval Scheme, a typical process looks like this:

1. Registration & Evaluation: The applicant registers the product. A Security Evaluator (SEV) performs a security evaluation (checking if it meets security requirements), and a Test Lab (TL) performs a functional test.
2. Formal Check by Approval Office (AO): The AO formally checks the evaluation report. If there are deviations or unclear points, the report may be rejected or sent back for clarification.
3. Technical Expert Confirmation (TEC): If required, the AO checks Technical Expert Confirmations regarding applicability and coherence of attached certificates.
4. Assessment & Decision: A Steering Committee (SC) assesses compliance. The SEV presents results. The outcome can be:
   • Accepted without condition (no deviation).
   • Accepted without condition (toleration of deviation).
   • Rejected (rework necessary).
   • Escalated to an Approval Council.
5. Final Approval: Based on the SC's assessment, the Approval Council (AC) makes the final decision to grant the approval.
