What is a Security Target?

A Security Target is the document that defines the Target of Evaluation (TOE), that is, the product configuration and version, and scope of security functionality being evaluated. The CC allows the TOE to be all or part of a product or system.  The Security Target is put together using CC constructs and includes a threat model, environmental assumptions, security objectives, security functional requirements and security assurance requirements.  A Security Target may conform to a Protection Profile but  may be optional in some schemes). A Security Target (written by vendor) goes beyond a Protection Profile (written by consumer) by including a description of how the product achieves the defined requirements.
