I have read some about Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Levels, Orange
Book levels, Federal Aviation Administration DO-178B Level A and others.

I am looking for a quick reference and explanation of security levels used
for software in the United States. Any good pointers?

Also does any *BSD cover U.S. Department of Defense security levels? Maybe
SEBSD or TrustedBSD?

If no BSD, what about Linux? Where can I learn more about this?
