Explanation
The Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC), commonly called the 'Orange Book,' was published in 1983 by the NCSC on behalf of the US Department of Defense. It defined security evaluation criteria and trust levels (D, C1, C2, B1, B2, B3, A1) for computing systems. ITSEC is the European equivalent. DIACAP and NIACAP are US government accreditation frameworks, not evaluation criteria documents, and were developed by different bodies (DoD and CNSS respectively).
