1. Executive Summary
This report describes the certification result drawn by the certification body on the
results of the EAL5+ evaluation of LG CNS XSmart e-Passport V1.3 R3 on
S3CT9KW/S3CT9KC/S3CT9K9 with reference to the Common Criteria for Information
Technology Security Evaluation (“CC” hereinafter) [1]. It describes the evaluation result
and its soundness and conformity.
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) is the composite product which is consisting of the
certified contactless integrated circuit chip of machine readable travel documents
(MRTD chip) and embedded software (IC chip operating system(COS) and the
application of machine readable travel documents(MRTD application)) including Logical
Data Structure (LDS) in accordance with the ICAO documents [5]. The TOE provides
Basic Access Control (BAC), Active Authentication (AA), and Extended Access Control
(EAC) defined in the ICAO’s Machine Readable Travel Documents, DOC 9303 Part 1
Volume 2, 6th
edition, August 2006 [5], and the BSI’s Advanced Security Mechanisms
Machine Readable Travel Documents – Extended Access Control V1.11, February
2008 [6].
The TOE XSmart e-Passport V1.3 R3 on S3CT9KW/S3CT9KC/S3CT9K9 is composed
of the following components:
 IC chip S3CT9KW/S3CT9KC/S3CT9K9 Revision 2 provided by Samsung
Electronics, see ANSSI-CC-2012/70 (ANSSI-CC-2012/70-S03, surveillance
report, 11 November, 2015), and
 Embedded software XSmart e-Passport V1.3 R3 provided by LG CNS.
The evaluation of the TOE has been carried out by Korea Testing Certification (KTC)
and completed on June 17, 2014. This report grounds on the evaluation technical
report (ETR) KTC had submitted [7] and the Security Target (ST) [8][9].
The ST is based on the certified Protection Profile (PP) ePassport Protection Profile
V2.1, June 10, 2010, KECS-PP-0163a-2009 [10]. All Security Assurance Requirements
(SARs) in the ST are based only upon assurance component in CC Part 3, and the
TOE satisfies the SARs of Evaluation Assurance Level EAL5 augmented by
ADV_IMP.2. Therefore the ST and the resulting TOE is CC Part 3 conformant. The
Security Functional Requirements (SFRs) are based upon both functional components
in CC Part 2 and a newly defined component in the Extended Component Definition
chapter of the ST, and the TOE satisfies the SFRs in the ST. Therefore the ST and the
resulting TOE is CC Part 2 extended.

The TOE is finalized at step ③ of the Phase 2(Manufacturing) in accordance with the
ePassport PP [10]. After the TOE finalization, the ePassport manufacturer (i.e., inlay
and e-Cover manufacturer) embeds the TOE into the passport booklet. The inlay
production including the application of the antenna is not part of the TOE.
The Personalization Agency can only access the MRTD using the securely delivered
personalization key set. The personalization key set is securely delivered from the
ePassport manufacturer to the Personalization Agency through PGP encryption.
The certified IC chip S3CT9KW/S3CT9KC/S3CT9K9 which is a component of the TOE
provides Secure AES Symmetric Cryptography and Secure RSA-CRT Asymmetric
Cryptography, they are not used by the TOE. Thus they are out of TOE scope.
For details on the MRTD chips, the IC dedicated software and the crypto libraries, see

3. Security Policy
The ST [8][9] for the TOE claims demonstrable conformance to the ePassport PP [10],
and the TOE complies security policies defined in the ePassport PP [10] by security
objectives and security requirements based on the ICAO document [5], and EAC
specification [6]. Thus the TOE provides security features BAC and EAC (EAC-CA,
EAC-TA) defined in the ePassport PP [10], and AA.
Inspection procedures are as followed:
 For Inspection System supporting BAC only: BAC → PA → AA,
 For Inspection System supporting both BAC and EAC: BAC → EAC-CA →
Certification Report Page 9
PA → EAC-TA.
Additionally, the TOE provides security features for personalization agent to protect
ePassport identity data (during personalization phase):
 Personalization agent authentication, ensures only authorized entity can
access to the TOE during personalization phase
 Secure messaging, ensures transmitted data to be protected from
unauthorized disclosure and modification during personalization phase.
Furthermore, the TOE is composite product based on the certified IC chip, the TOE
utilizes and therefore provides some security features covered by the IC chip
certification such as Security sensors/detectors, Active Shields against physical attacks,
Synthesizable glue logic, Dedicated hardware mechanisms against side-channel
attacks, Secure DES Symmetric Cryptography support, Secure coprocessor for RSA
and ECC Asymmetric Cryptographic Support, and a True Random Number Generator
(TRNG) for AIS31-compliant Random Number Generation. For more details refer to the
Security Target Lite for the IC chip [12].
4. Assumptions and Clarification of Scope
The following assumptions describe the security aspects of the operational
environment in which the TOE will be used or is intended to be used (for the detailed
and precise definition of the assumption refer to the ST [8][9], chapter 3.3):
 The Inspection System verifies the Security Object of Document (SOD) after
verifying validity of the certificate chain for PA in order to verify for forgery and
corruption of the ePassport identity data recorded in the TOE. For this, the DS
certificate and CRL shall be verified periodically. The Inspection System shall
securely hold the digital signature generation key that corresponds to the IS
certificate and shall provide the TOE with the CVCA link certificate, the DV
certificate and the IS certificate in the EAC-TA.
 The Inspection System shall implement security mechanisms of PA, AA, BAC
and EAC in accordance with the ICAO document [5] and EAC specifications [6]
on the basis of the verifying policy of the ePassport for the ePassport holder.
Also, after session termination, the Inspection System shall securely destroy all
information, such as the BAC session key, the EAC session key and session
information, etc., used in communication with the TOE.
 The seed for BAC authentication key takes the sufficient MRZ entropy to
Certification Report Page 10
ensure the secure BAC authentication key.
Furthermore, some aspects of threats and organisational security policies are not
covered by the TOE itself, thus these aspects are addressed by the TOE environment:
ePassport Manufacturing Security, Procedures for ePassport Holder Confirmation,
Interoperability for ePassport, etc. Details can be found in the ST [8][9], chapter 3.1, 3.2
and 4.3.
5. Architectural Information
[Figure 2] show the physical scope of the TOE. The TOE is the composite product
which is consisting of the certified contactless MRTD chip and the embedded software
(i.e., COS and MRTD application).
[Figure 2] Scope of the TOE
 MRTD application provides BAC, AA, and EAC in accordance with the ICAO
document [5] and EAC specification [6]. It also provides additional security
mechanisms for personalization agent such as authentication.
 COS, which processes commands and manages files in accordance with
Certification Report Page 11
ISO/IEC 7816-4, 8, and 9 [19], executes MRTD application and provides
functions for management of MRTD application data. It also provides additional
security mechanisms for initialization agent such as authentication and
initialization of the TOE. Global Platform, which is part of COS, provides
installation commands for MRTD application before MRTD application is
activated, and authentication commands for personalization agency after
MRTD application is activated. Javacard Platform, which is part of COS,
provides initialization functions right after power-on, and it is not used after
MRTD application is activated.
 MRTD chip provides security features such as Security sensors/detectors,
Active Shields against physical attacks, Synthesizable glue logic, Dedicated
hardware mechanisms against side-channel attacks, Secure DES Symmetric
Cryptography support, Secure coprocessor for RSA and ECC Asymmetric
Cryptographic Support, and a True Random Number Generator (TRNG) for
AIS31-compliant Random Number Generation.
For the detailed description is referred to the ST [8][9].

7. TOE Testing
The developer took a testing approach based on the component of the TOE. Physically,
the embedded software is not separated, but logically, it can be divided into COS and
MRTD application in accordance with the ICAO documents [5] and EAC specification[6].
Certification Report Page 12
Tests for COS are:
 Unit Test, which tests functions implemented in COS,
 Tearing Test, which tests secure operation of the TOE under the environmental
stress, and
 Chip Test, which tests features such as cryptographic operation and security
register provided by IC chip.
 GP Test, which tests limited features in compliance with Global Platform such
as INSTALL, GET DATA, PUT KEY commands and SCP02 authentication
protocol.
Tests for MRTD application are:
 Functional and Module Test, which tests MRTD application in accordance with
the ICAO Documents [5] and EAC specification [6], and
 LDS Test, which tests additional features which are not defined in the ICAO
document [5] and EAC specification [6] such as initialization, personalization
and inspection, life cycle state change, and residual information removal.
The developer tested all the TSF and analyzed testing results in accordance with the
assurance component ATE_COV.2. This means that the developer tested all the TSFI
defined for each life cycle state of the TOE, and demonstrated that the TSF behaves as
described in the functional specification.
The developer tested both subsystems (including their interactions) and all the modules
(including their interfaces), and analyzed testing results in accordance with the
assurance component ATE_DPT.3.
The evaluator performed all the developer’s tests listed in this report chapter 7.1, and
conducted independent testing based upon test cases devised by the evaluator.
Also, the evaluator conducted penetration testing based upon test cases devised by
the evaluator resulting from the independent search for potential vulnerabilities. These
test cases cover testing APDU commands, bypassability, observation attacks such as
SEMA/CEMA, fault injection attacks, and so on. No exploitable vulnerabilities by
attackers possessing moderate attack potential were found from penetration testing.
The evaluator confirmed that all the actual testing results correspond to the expected
testing results. The evaluator testing effort, the testing approach, configuration, depth,
and results are summarized in the ETR [7].

9. Results of the Evaluation
The evaluation facility provided the evaluation result in the ETR [7] which references
Work Package Reports for each assurance requirement and Observation Reports.
Certification Report Page 14
The evaluation result was based on the CC [1] and CEM [2], and CCRA supporting
documents for the Smartcard and similar device [13], [14], [15] and [16]. Also the
evaluation facility utilized German scheme’s Evaluation Methodology for CC Assurance
Class for EAL5+ and EAL6 [18] under confirmation of the CB.
As a result of the evaluation, the verdict PASS is assigned to all assurance
components of EAL5 augmented by ADV_IMP.2.
9.1 Security Target Evaluation (ASE)
The ST Introduction correctly identifies the ST and the TOE, and describes the TOE in
a narrative way at three levels of abstraction (TOE reference, TOE overview and TOE
description), and these three descriptions are consistent with each other. Therefore the
verdict PASS is assigned to ASE_INT.1.
The Conformance Claim properly describes how the ST and the TOE conform to the
CC and how the ST conforms to PPs and packages. Therefore the verdict PASS is
assigned to ASE_CCL.1.
The Security Problem Definition clearly defines the security problem intended to be
addressed by the TOE and its operational environment. Therefore the verdict PASS is
assigned to ASE_SPD.1.
The Security Objectives adequately and completely address the security problem
definition and the division of this problem between the TOE and its operational
environment is clearly defined. Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to ASE_OBJ.2.
The Extended Components Definition has been clearly and unambiguously defined,
and it is necessary. Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to ASE_ECD.1.
The Security Requirements is defined clearly and unambiguously, and it is internally
consistent and the SFRs meet the security objectives of the TOE. Therefore the verdict
PASS is assigned to ASE_REQ.2.
The TOE Summary Specification addresses all SFRs, and it is consistent with other
narrative descriptions of the TOE. Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to
ASE_TSS.1.
Also, the evaluator confirmed that the ST of the composite TOE does not contradict the
ST of the IC chip in accordance with the CCRA supporting document Composite
Product Evaluation [15].
Thus, the ST is sound and internally consistent, and suitable to be used as the basis
for the TOE evaluation.
The verdict PASS is assigned to the assurance class ASE.
Certification Report Page 15
9.2 Life Cycle Support Evaluation (ALC)
The developer has used a documented model of the TOE life-cycle. Therefore the
verdict PASS is assigned to ALC_LCD.1.
The developer has used well-defined development tools (e.g. programming languages
or computer-aided design (CAD) systems) that yield consistent and predictable results,
and implementation standards have been applied. Therefore the verdict PASS is
assigned to ALC_TAT.2.
The developer has clearly identified the TOE and its associated configuration items,
and the ability to modify these items is properly controlled by automated tools, thus
making the CM system less susceptible to human error or negligence. Therefore the
verdict PASS is assigned to ALC_CMC.4.
The configuration list includes the TOE, the parts that comprise the TOE, the TOE
implementation representation, security flaws, development tools and related
information, and the evaluation evidence. These configuration items are controlled in
accordance with CM capabilities. Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to
ALC_CMS.5.
The developer's security controls on the development environment are adequate to
provide the confidentiality and integrity of the TOE design and implementation that is
necessary to ensure that secure operation of the TOE is not compromised. Therefore
the verdict PASS is assigned to ALC_DVS.1.
The delivery documentation describes all procedures used to maintain security of the
TOE when distributing the TOE to the user. Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to
ALC_DEL.1.
Also, the evaluator confirmed that the correct version of the embedded software is
installed onto/into the correct version of the underlying IC chip, and the delivery
procedures of IC chip and embedded software developers are compatible with the
acceptance procedure of the composite product integrator in accordance with the
CCRA supporting document Composite Product Evaluation [13].
Thus, the security procedures that the developer uses during the development and
maintenance of the TOE are adequate. These procedures include the life-cycle model
used by the developer, the configuration management, the security measures used
throughout TOE development, the tools used by the developer throughout the life-cycle
of the TOE, the handling of security flaws, and the delivery activity.
The verdict PASS is assigned to the assurance class ALC.
Certification Report Page 16
9.3 Guidance Documents Evaluation (AGD)
The procedures and steps for the secure preparation of the TOE have been
documented and result in a secure configuration. Therefore the verdict PASS is
assigned to AGD_PRE.1.
The operational user guidance describes for each user role the security functionality
and interfaces provided by the TSF, provides instructions and guidelines for the secure
use of the TOE, addresses secure procedures for all modes of operation, facilitates
prevention and detection of insecure TOE states, or it is misleading or unreasonable.
Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to AGD_OPE.1.
Thus, the guidance documents are adequately describing the user can handle the TOE
in a secure manner. The guidance documents take into account the various types of
users (e.g. those who accept, install, administrate or operate the TOE) whose incorrect
actions could adversely affect the security of the TOE or of their own data.
The verdict PASS is assigned to the assurance class AGD.
9.4 Development Evaluation (ADV)
The TOE design provides a description of the TOE in terms of subsystems sufficient to
determine the TSF boundary, and provides a description of the TSF internals in terms
of modules. It provides a detailed description of the SFR-enforcing and SFR-supporting
modules and enough information about the SFR-non-interfering modules for the
evaluator to determine that the SFRs are completely and accurately implemented; as
such, the TOE design provides an explanation of the implementation representation.
Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to ADV_TDS.4.
The developer has completely described all of the TSFI in a manner such that the
evaluator was able to determine whether the TSFI are completely and accurately
described, and appears to implement the security functional requirements of the ST.
Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to ADV_FSP.5.
The TSF is structured such that it cannot be tampered with or bypassed, and TSFs that
provide security domains isolate those domains from each other. Therefore the verdict
PASS is assigned to ADV_ARC.1.
The implementation representation is sufficient to satisfy the functional requirements of
the ST and is a correct realisation of the low-level design. Therefore the verdict PASS
is assigned to ADV_IMP.2.
Certification Report Page 17
The TSF internal is well-structured such that the likelihood of flaws is reduced and that
maintenance can be more readily performed without the introduction of flaws.
Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to ADV_INT.2.
Also, the evaluator confirmed that the requirements on the embedded software,
imposed by the IC chip, are fulfilled in the composite product in accordance with the
CCRA supporting document Composite Product Evaluation [13].
Thus, the design documentation is adequate to understand how the TSF meets the
SFRs and how the implementation of these SFRs cannot be tampered with or
bypassed. Design documentation consists of a functional specification (which
describes the interfaces of the TSF), a TOE design description (which describes the
architecture of the TSF in terms of how it works in order to perform the functions
related to the SFRs being claimed), an implementation description (a source code level
description), and TSF internals description (which describes evidence of the structure
of the design and implementation of the TSF). In addition, there is a security
architecture description (which describes the architectural properties of the TSF to
explain how its security enforcement cannot be compromised or bypassed).
The verdict PASS is assigned to the assurance class ADV.
9.5 Test Evaluation (ATE)
The developer has tested all of the TSFIs, and that the developer's test coverage
evidence shows correspondence between the tests identified in the test documentation
and the TSFIs described in the functional specification. Therefore the verdict PASS is
assigned to ATE_COV.2.
The developer has tested all the TSF subsystems and modules against the TOE design
and the security architecture description. Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to
ATE_DPT.3.
The developer correctly performed and documented the tests in the test documentation.
Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to ATE_FUN.1.
By independently testing a subset of the TSF, the evaluator confirmed that the TOE
behaves as specified in the design documentation, and had confidence in the
developer's test results by performing all of the developer's tests. Therefore the verdict
PASS is assigned to ATE_IND.2.
Also, the evaluator confirmed that composite product as a whole exhibits the properties
necessary to satisfy the functional requirements of its ST in accordance with the CCRA
supporting document Composite Product Evaluation [13].
Certification Report Page 18
Thus, the TOE behaves as described in the ST and as specified in the evaluation
evidence (described in the ADV class).
The verdict PASS is assigned to the assurance class ATE.
9.6 Vulnerability Assessment (AVA)
By penetrating testing, the evaluator confirmed that there are no exploitable
vulnerabilities by attackers possessing Moderate attack potential in the operational
environment of the TOE.Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to AVA_VAN.4.
Also, the evaluator confirmed that there is no exploitability of flaws or weakness in the
composite TOE as a whole in the intended environment in accordance with the CCRA
supporting document Composite Product Evaluation [13].
Thus, potential vulnerabilities identified, during the evaluation of the development and
anticipated operation of the TOE or by other methods (e.g. by flaw hypotheses or
quantitative or statistical analysis of the security behaviour of the underlying security
mechanisms), don’t allow attackers possessing High attack potential to violate the
SFRs.
The verdict PASS is assigned to the assurance class AVA.

10. Recommendations
The TOE security functionality can be ensured only in the evaluated TOE operational
environment with the evaluated TOE configuration, thus the TOE shall be operated by
complying with the followings:
 The TOE must be used for e-Passport, and LDS application is installed by
installation command when e-Cover is manufactured. After the installation of
the MRTD application, any other applications cannot be installed.
 As the TOE can be composed with one of S3CT9KW, S3CT9KC and S3CT9K9,
the personalization agent is recommended to check the product identification
information right after acceptance of the TOE while referring to the user
operating manual provided with the product after acquisition of TOE.
 In the initialization phase of the TOE, it is recommended that the
personalization agent shall verify the checksum value of ROM code referring to
user manual.
