to assist the end user of this product and any security certification Agent for that end user in determining the suitability of this Information Technology (IT) product for their environment. End users should review the Security Target (ST), which is where specific security claims are made, in conjunction with this VR, which describes how those security claims were tested and evaluated and any restrictions on the evaluated configuration. Prospective users should carefully read the Assumptions and Clarification of Scope in Section 5 and the Validator Comments in Section 10, where any restrictions on the evaluated configuration are highlighted. This report documents the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) assessment of the evaluation of the Apple iOS 11 VPN Client Target of Evaluation (TOE). It presents the evaluation results, their justifications, and the conformance results. This VR is not an endorsement of the TOE by any agency of the U.S. Government and no warranty of the TOE is either expressed or implied. This VR applies only to the specific version and configuration of the product as evaluated and documented in the ST. The evaluation was completed by Acumen Security in May 2018. The information in this report is largely derived from the proprietary Evaluation Technical Report (ETR) and associated test report, all written by Acumen Security as synopsized in the Apple iOS 11 VPN Client Assurance Activity Report, Version 1.4, May 2018. The evaluation determined that the product is both Common Criteria Part 2 Extended and Part 3 Conformant, and meets the assurance requirements defined in the Protection Profile for IPsec Virtual Private Network (VPN) Clients, Version 1.4, 21 October 2014 [VPNPP]. The Target of Evaluation (TOE) identified in this Validation Report has been evaluated at a NIAP approved Common Criteria Testing Laboratory using the Common Methodology for IT Security Evaluation (Version 3.1, Rev. 4) for conformance to the Common Criteria for IT Security Evaluation (Version 3.1, Rev. 4), as interpreted by the Assurance Activities contained in the Protection Profile for IPsec Virtual Private Network (VPN) Clients, Version 1.4, 21 October 2013 and all applicable NIAP technical decisions for the technology. This Validation Report applies only to the specific version of the TOE as evaluated. The evaluation has been conducted in accordance with the provisions of the NIAP Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme and the conclusions of the testing laboratory in the Evaluation Technical Report are consistent with the evidence provided. The validation team provided guidance on technical issues and evaluation processes and reviewed the individual work units documented in the ETR and the Assurance Activities Report (AAR). The validation team found that the evaluation showed that the product satisfies all the functional requirements and assurance requirements stated in the Security Target. Based on these findings, the validation team concludes that the testing laboratory's findings are accurate, the conclusions justified, and the conformance results are correct. The conclusions of the testing laboratory in the Evaluation Technical Report are consistent with the evidence produced. 5 2 Identification The CCEVS is a joint National Security Agency (NSA) and National Institute of Standards effort to establish commercial facilities to perform trusted product evaluations. Under this program, security evaluations are conducted by commercial testing laboratories called Common Criteria Testing Laboratories (CCTLs). CCTLs evaluate products against Protection Profile containing Assurance Activities, which are interpretation of CEM work units specific to the technology described by the PP. The NIAP Validation Body assigns validators to monitor the CCTLs to ensure quality and consistency across evaluations. Developers of information technology products desiring a security evaluation contract with a CCTL and pay a fee for their product's evaluation. Upon successful completion of the evaluation, the product is added to NIAP's Product Compliance List. The target of evaluation is the Apple iOS 11 VPN Client, and the associated TOE guidance documentation. Table 1 provides information needed to completely identify the product, including:  The Target of Evaluation (TOE): the fully qualified identifier of the product as evaluated.  The Security Target (ST), describing the security features, claims, and assurances of the product.  The conformance result of the evaluation.  The Protection Profile(s) to which the product is conformant.  The organizations and individuals participating in the evaluation.

Developer Apple Inc. Common Criteria Testing Lab (CCTL) Acumen Security Rockville, MD CCEVS Validators Sheldon Durrant, Kenneth Stutterheim Table 1 Identification 6 3 Architectural Information Note: The following architectural description is based on the description presented in the Security Target. The TOE is a VPN client on a mobile operating system. The TOE is the VPN Client software along with the TOE documentation required to implement the TOE into the evaluated configuration. All other documentation available for download is not to be relied upon when configuring the TOE. The Apple iOS 11 operating system has been separately validated as VID10851. The mobile operating system and hardware platforms are part of the TOE environment. When deployed, the TOE provides a tunnel to a VPN Gateway. The Operating System on which the TOE runs is Apple iOS version 11. This is the same version of iOS which has undergone Common Criteria evaluation against the Protection Profile for Mobile Device Fundamentals. Each TOE platform contains two cryptographic modules; the Apple iOS CoreCrypto Kernel Module and the Apple iOS CoreCrypto Module. These provide all TOE required cryptographic services. 7 4 Security Policy The TOE is comprised of several security features, as identified below.  Cryptography Support  User Data Protection  Identification and Authentication  Security Management  Protection of the TSF  Trusted Path/Channels The TOE provides the security functionality required by [VPNPP]. 4.1 Cryptographic Support The TOE provides IPsec VPN functionality for clients wishing to securely communicate with remote parties over unsecured networks. The TOE supports IPsec sessions established using IKEv2. The VPN tunnels are configured and controlled by Network Extension Framework, which is a part of the host operating system’s Core OS Layer. Each TOE platform contains two cryptographic modules; the Apple iOS CoreCrypto Kernel Module and the Apple iOS CoreCrypto Module. These provide all TOE required cryptographic services including cryptographic key generation, key storage, AES encryption and decryption, cryptographic signature services, cryptographic hashing, keyed-hash message authentication and random bit generation. 4.2 User Data Protection The TOE zeroizes all memory used to store packet contents upon reallocation for another purpose. 4.3 Identification and Authentication All validation of X.509 certificates is performed by the iOS 11 platform that the TOE is running on. 4.4 Security Management The TOE provides the ability to manage all security functionality required by the Protection Profile via the use of configuration files (profiles). 4.5 Protection of the TSF The TOE platform performs cryptographic self-tests at startup which ensures the TOE’s ability to properly operate. The TOE platform also verifies all software updates via digital signature. 8 4.6 Trusted Path/Channels The TOE is an IPsec VPN client. The TOE has the ability to establish IKEv2/IPsec protected communications with VPN gateways. 9 5 Assumptions, Threats & Clarification of Scope 5.1 Assumptions The specific conditions listed in the following subsections are assumed to exist in the TOE’s environment. These assumptions include both practical realities in the development of the TOE security requirements and the essential environmental conditions on the use of the TOE. Assumption Assumption Definition A.NO_TOE_BYPASS Information cannot flow onto the network to which the VPN client's host is connected without passing through the TOE. A.PHYSICAL Physical security, commensurate with the value of the TOE and the data it contains, is assumed to be provided by the environment. A.TRUSTED_CONFIG Personnel configuring the TOE and its operational environment will follow the applicable security configuration guidance. Table 2 Assumptions 5.2 Threats The following table lists the threats addressed by the TOE and the IT Environment. The assumed level of expertise of the attacker for all the threats identified below is Enhanced-Basic. Threat Threat Definition T.TSF_CONFIGURATION Failure to allow configuration of the TSF may prevent its users from being able to adequately implement their particular security policy, leading to a compromise of user information. T.TSF_FAILURE Security mechanisms of the TOE may fail, leading to a compromise of the TSF. T.UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS A user may gain unauthorized access to the TOE data and TOE executable code. A malicious user, process, or external IT entity may masquerade as an authorized entity in order to gain unauthorized access to data or TOE resources. A malicious user, process, or external IT entity may misrepresent itself as the TOE to obtain identification and authentication data. T.UNAUTHORIZED_UPDATE A malicious party attempts to supply the end user with an update to the product that may compromise the security features of the TOE. T.USER_DATA_REUSE User data may be inadvertently sent to a destination not intended by the original sender because it is not rendered inaccessible after it is done being used. Table 3 Threats 10 5.3 Clarification of Scope All evaluations (and all products) have limitations, as well as potential misconceptions that need clarifying. This text covers some of the more important limitations and clarifications of this evaluation. Note that:  As with any evaluation, this evaluation only shows that the evaluated configuration meets the security claims made, with a certain level of assurance. The level of assurance for this evaluation is defined within the Protection Profile for IPsec Virtual Private Network (VPN) Clients, Version 1.4, 21 October 2013 [VPNPP].  This evaluation covers only the specific device models and software as identified in this document, and not any earlier or later versions released or in process  Consistent with the expectations of the Protection Profile, this evaluation did not specifically search for, nor seriously attempt to counter, vulnerabilities that were not “obvious” or vulnerabilities to objectives not claimed in the ST. The CEM defines an “obvious” vulnerability as one that is easily exploited with a minimum of understanding of the TOE, technical sophistication and resources.  The evaluation of security functionality of the product was limited to the functionality specified in the claimed PP and applicable Technical Decisions. Any additional security related functional capabilities that may be included in the product were not covered by this evaluation. 11 6 Documentation The following documents were provided by the vendor with the TOE for evaluation:  Apple iOS 11 VPN Client Security Target [ST], version 1.3;  Apple iOS 11 VPN Client on iPhone and iPad Guidance Documentation [AGD], version 1.2 To use the product in the evaluated configuration, the product must be configured as specified in these guides. Consumers are encouraged to download the CC configuration guide from the NIAP website. Any additional customer documentation provided with the product, or that is available online was not included in the scope of the evaluation and therefore should not to be relied upon when configuring or operating the device as evaluated. 12 7 TOE Evaluated Configuration 7.1 Evaluated Configuration The TOE is a VPN client on a mobile operating system.
