Where independent key control fits
Status: aligned. Do not claim a product EAL4+ certificate unless the specific TOE and certificate ID are part of the bid package.
Security target documentation
Architecture and control descriptions written so a security target can reference concrete product behaviour.
Threat modeling and mitigation
Custody models (software, MPC, HSM), network exposure and privilege boundaries documented as mitigations.
Formal security architecture
Separation of key material, authorization checks on every operation, and tamper-evident audit trails.
Independent testing
Penetration testing and independent security assessment as evidence for evaluation-minded buyers.
