{{Short description|Communications Security Establishment standard}} The '''Canadian Trusted Computer Product Evaluation Criteria''' ('''CTCPEC''') is a computer security standard published in 1993 by the Communications Security Establishment to provide an evaluation criterion on IT products. It is a combination of the TCSEC (also called ''Orange Book'') and the European ITSEC approaches.
CTCPEC led to the creation of the Common Criteria standard.<ref name="Herrmann2002">{{cite book|author=Debra S.
