The evaluation is summarized in the list of certified products. Here is copy of the actual certificate.
This is a major accomplishment which has been over two years in the making. Oracle Solaris 11 was formally accepted into evaluation on January 31, 2012. Unlike previous Solaris evaluations, the Trusted Extensions functionality is included as a standard feature of the OS, as well as Role-Based Access Control and Solaris Zones. In addition the evaluation required FIPS evaluation of the cryptographic modules. The details are included in the Certification Report.
