I'm not familiar with LIDS. However, a B2 target is not necessarily a good
thing.  I used to work in a CLEF and with Common Criteria post ITSec and in
most cases the TOE's, evaluation reports and everything else purely
academic.  A1[particularly], B2 and B1 do not mean usability or  even
relevance to real world civil use.  So I shouldn't necessarily worry if it
conforms or aims at any of the particular eval standards.  Peer to peer
source review seems far better provided you have some good peers ;-).

What it does do is provide basic checkpoints that provide a better level of
security on paper and to a certain extent in the design process.  Which is a
good thing.
