To create a pro-consumer and pro-business infocomm environment, IDA formulates infocomm-related policies, standards, codes of practice and advisory guidelines aimed at leveling the playing field for infocomm service providers and empowering consumers and businesses with more choices.

IDA plays an active role in developing Singapore’s pool of globally-competitive infocomm talent and an infocomm-savvy workforce. We are also focused on driving consumer education initiatives, ensuring digital inclusion and supporting the effective use of infocomm in community outreach efforts.

Overview

IDA drives the growth, competitiveness and innovation of Singapore’s infocomm industry by nurturing local infocomm enterprises and supporting them in their internationalisation efforts. We also seek to inject greater vibrancy into the infocomm ecosystem by attracting world-class global infocomm MNCs and startups to hub in Singapore.

Learning Tools
SeCCurityRadar ^{Updated - Dec 12}
A software tool that introduces a novel approach to "designing" a Security Target (ST) or a Protection Profile (PP) based on visual representation and graphical development. It automates iteration and cross references, and it provides consistency checks required by CC. It includes basic support for reviews and presentations.
This ZIP contains only the files for the tool itself. Extract all files to a working directory and follow the instructions given in the "readme.txt" to manually download other required files.	Download
The installer downloads and installs all files. Execute the jar file inside the ZIP (access to the Internet is required).	Download
The manual for SeCCurityRadar also provides some basic background information for writing ST or PP.	Download
Attack Potential Calculator
Effectiveness of resistance against attacks depends on the sophistication of the attacker and the methods used. This tool demonstrates how the "attack potential" is calculated within Common Criteria and how it relates to the evaluation levels.	Download (includes JAR-file and Manual)
Information Materials
Security Functional Components
This paper provides a basic overview of the framework provided by CC V3.1, Part 2, 'Security Functional Components' (SFC). It describes in general terms the scope of SFC and its use as 'Security Functional Requirements' (SFR) so that readers can understand the meaning and role of SFRs, and may find some pointers to: a) identify SFRs or families, which are suitable for their purposes (when writing an ST); b) identify expected SFRs for procurement purposes (when reading an ST); or c) gain an overview of unfamiliar SFRs.
