Thinklogical Achieves Prestigious Accreditation For Common Criteria EAL-4 Certification For Its Line Of VX Routers
Published May 12, 2011

Thinklogical, a leading provider of fiber optic routing and extension solutions, announced that it has received accreditation for Common Criteria Part 3, EAL-4 for their VX320, VX160, and VX40 switches.
Thinklogical is the only supplier that has established an Information Assurance (IA) methodology across high-end video switching equipment to meet EAL-4 certification requirements.
Common Criteria is an internationally recognized set of guidelines, which define a common framework for evaluating security features and capabilities of Information Technology products. The standard consists of several predetermined evaluation assurance levels, each one more stringent than the last. Once completed, Common Criteria certifications are accepted by NATO through the Common Criteria Recognition Agreement (CCRA).
The VX Optical Routing solutions support any video format at any resolution, with no frame or pixel loss, as well as any computer or video related peripheral data. When deployed with Thinklogical Velocity Extenders, the resulting system is the only Common Criteria, EAL-4 certified solution providing multi-classification secure computing and video routing within the same chassis.
“The Thinklogical VX family of fiber optic matrix routers is the only solution available on the market that is protocol agnostic, and combines 6.5 Gbps per port performance in a switch platform that can scale to a full 320 x 320 matrix”, said Kevin Keefe, Vice President of Engineering. “Thinklogical’s EAL-4 certification is a significant milestone for the company and establishes a new industry benchmark for secure optical routing solutions.”
Common Criteria EAL-4 accreditation confirms that the unique and proprietary VX technology provides secure data separation in restrictive switching environments where secure access between source and destination end points is critical. This provides the ability to establish “Red/Black” levels of access within a single system, which is critical in complex, multi-layered secure military and government environments. This solution also meets the regulatory and security demands in the Energy and Utilities markets.
