In what context???. Red Book ratings don't apply to Firewall
functionality. On the other hand, Orange Book ratings of B2
and higher would make sense. Use the security kernal to
enforce and protect against buffer over-writes, internal
configuration coruption and encryption key disclosure
would add a great deal of confidence in the product. The
rating would only apply to internal protections within
the firewall, not to the security of external network 
connections in general.
