Actually, as surprising as it is, NT4 has been certified to be Orange Book C2 (TCSEC, US, non-networked, December 99) and Red Book EC2 (or something like that) (ITSEC, UK, networked, April 99). The only thing it proves is that TCSEC and ITSEC evaluations have become outdated and worthless, IMHO. ;) -alex
