The Common Criteria (CC) certification framework defines a widely recognized, multi-domain certification scheme that aims to provide security assurances about IT products to consumers. However, the CC scheme does not prescribe a monitoring scheme for the CC practice, raising concerns about the quality of the security assurance provided by the certification and questions on its usefulness. In this paper, we present a critical analysis of the CC practice that concretely exposes the limitations of current approaches. We also provide directions to improve the CC practice.
