29 January 2024

The TOE Overview is a required part of the Introduction of a PP-Module.

It should enumerate the Base PPs and describe how the PP-Module extends the TOE type of each Base PP.

the TOE type of the PP-Module may either be the same as that of the PP-Module Base or may introduce specificities required to meet the purpose of the PP-Module;

the PP-Module may introduce further usage and major security features in addition to those stated in the PP-Module Base;

the PP-Module can specify particular non-TOE hardware, software and/or firmware compliant with the statement in the PP-Module Base.

The PP-Module Author may include other information in the TOE Overview or elsewhere in the Introduction. Other information commonly found in Introductions are sections regarding Compliant Targets of Evaluation and the TOE Boundary.
