Overheard question of the day: Could you please get EAL level 4

OpenBSD is already used in the .mil sector, just not in high security
networks because of what you stated. However I'm pretty sure some
entity outside regular OenBSD developers would have to persue that
costly process.
In my own opinion EAL level 4 cert has some serious issues. A lot of
what you get is Process and Procedure done by some large corporate
entity. What you find is code revs rarely go through certification.
For example Cisco ASA / Pix have to run pretty old code to get EAL 4
cert.
