3 Architectural Information
Note: The following architectural description is based on the description presented in the
Security Target.
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) is Persistent Systems LLC, Wave Relay® Devices v1.0
running Wave Relay OS 2.2. The TOE provides secure, seamless ethernet connectivity,
ensuring global connectivity for users in any location and under any circumstances. By
establishing a resilient, secure connectivity fabric, the TOE enables mission-critical
communication, regardless of geographical constraints or operational challenges.
3.1 TOE Description
The TOE leverages a custom OS called Wave Relay OS that provides a secure operating
environment. Available as a hardware network appliance, the TOE supports a wide range of
network, wireless and security protocols designed for peer-to-peer MANET networking at
OSI Layer 2 and Layer 3. This includes, for instance, the use of multiple layer-3 Gateways
in a MANET.
The TOE is capable of securing communication via its ethernet interface with MACsec, IPsec
and TLS. Remote administration utilizes TLS to protect communications to the Wave Relay
Device GUI and programmatic interface.
For the purposes of evaluation, the TOE will be treated as a Network Device, IPsec VPN
Gateway and MACsec Ethernet Encryption Device. Thus, the security functionality offered
by the TOE includes validated secure by design components such as CAVP tested
Cryptographic support, Trusted updates, Self Tests, Secure connections, Identification &
Authentication, Packet Filtering, and Secure Auditing.
It is important to note that functions outside the scope of NDcPP22e/MACSEC10/
VPNGW13 were not evaluated.
3.2 TOE Evaluated Platforms
Detail regarding the evaluated configuration is provided in Section 8 below.
Persistent Systems LLC, Validation Report Version 0.1, March 27, 2025
Wave Relay® Devices v1.0

3.3 TOE Architecture
The Man Portable Unit Generation 5 (MPU5) is a wearable Wave Relay device that can be
connected to a wired network and securely communicate with network infrastructure services
such as external audit servers, management stations, as well as VPN peers.
The Embedded Module and Embedded Module Lite are Wave Relay embedded devices in a
SWaP-timized form factor designed to transform your UAS, UGV platform into a networked
asset.
The GVR5 model is a dual band Wave Relay solution, engineered to for tracked and wheeled
ground vehicles as well as aircraft.
The Integrated Antenna Series applies the power of Wave Relay directly into an antenna
extending the enterprise to the edge of large geographic areas.
The multiple TOE appliance models are designed to support different mission requirements
while using the same ARM Cortex-A9 Architecture. NXP i.MX6 series is a family of ARM-
based processors designed for a variety of applications balancing power efficiency,
performance and flexibility.
While Persistent Systems Wave Relay products can be configured as a collection of
independent devices operating in a network, the TOE configuration subject to this evaluation
is limited to a single Wave Relay device.
A Persistent Systems Wave Relay device is a network appliance with NXP iMX6 Cortex-A9
CPU running software designed to provide the required capabilities. All Wave Relay
Devices include the same validated cryptographic providers that are used to perform
cryptographic functions for TLS, IPsec, and MACsec.
• Wave Relay® Kernel Space Crypto Module (HW) version 1.0 (Cert. #A4588)
• Wave Relay® Kernel Space Crypto Module (SW) version 1.0 (Cert. #A4589) All
algorithms are supported with PAA and without PAA.
• Wave Relay® User Space Crypto Module version 1.0 (Cert. #A5177). All algorithms
are supported with PAA and without PAA
3.4 Physical Boundaries
The physical boundaries of the TOE consist of the physical boundaries of the Persistent
Systems Wave Relay device.
4 Security Policy
This section summaries the security functionality of the TOE:
1. Security audit
2. Cryptographic support
3. Identification and authentication
4. Security management
Persistent Systems LLC, Validation Report Version 0.1, March 27, 2025
Wave Relay® Devices v1.0
5
5. Packet filtering
6. Protection of the TSF
7. TOE access
8. Trusted path/channels
4.1 Security audit
The TOE generates audit events for numerous activities including events related to
cryptographic functionality, identification and authentication, and administrative actions.
The TOE generates a complete audit record including the IP address of the TOE, the event
details, and the time the event occurred. The TOE provides the administrator with a local
circular audit trail where the TOE overwrites the oldest audit records with the newest audit
records when space is full. Audit logs are also sent to a remote syslog server in the
environment over TLS encrypted channel.
4.2 Cryptographic support
The TOE provides cryptography in support of other TOE security functionality. The TOE
provides cryptography in support of secure connections using IPsec, TLS, MACsec and
remote administrative management HTTPS/TLS.
4.3 Identification and authentication
The TOE allows unauthenticated users to read the login banner, view the TOE identity (DNS
name and IP address), view the TOE power level, and view status. The TOE also performs
packet filtering operations prior to administrator login. The TOE requires users to be
authenticated before all other administrative operations.
The TOE authenticates the administrator prior to granting access to the GUI and
programmatic interfaces by accepting a password. The TOE supports the validation of
x509v3 certificates for authentication in the context of the TLS and IPsec protocols. These
certificates can be ECDSA certificates. The TOE also supports pre-shared key authentication
for MACsec and IPsec connections. The TOE checks the revocation status of a certificate
using OCSP or CRLs.
4.4 Security management
Security management commands are limited to authorized users (i.e., administrators) and
available only after they have provided acceptable user identification and authentication data
to the TOE. All TOE administration occurs through a TLS/HTTPS session.
4.5 Packet filtering
The TOE provides packet filtering and secure IPsec tunneling functionality. The tunnels can
be established between the TOE and a VPN peer. An authorized administrator can define
Persistent Systems LLC, Validation Report Version 0.1, March 27, 2025
Wave Relay® Devices v1.0
6
the traffic that needs to be protected via IPsec by configuring access lists (permit, deny, log)
and applying these access lists to the VPN interfaces.
4.6 Protection of the TSF
The TOE provides a variety of means of protecting itself. The TOE performs self-tests and
integrity verification that cover the correct operation of the TOE at startup. Any test failures
that occur will prevent the TOE from booting to a usable state. It provides functions
necessary to securely update the TOE. The TOE includes a hardware clock to ensure reliable
timestamps. The TOE’s time can be configured manually or by syncing to a remote NTP
server. It protects sensitive data such as stored passwords and cryptographic keys so that they
are not accessible through the TOE, even to a Security Administrator.
The TOE has the ability detect replay of frames received over the MACsec channel. The
detected replayed frames are dropped.
4.7 TOE access
The TOE can be configured to display a logon banner before a user session is established.
The TOE also enforces inactivity timeouts for local and remote sessions that can be
configured by an administrator.
4.8 Trusted path/channels
The TOE protects interactive communication with administrators using TLS for GUI and
programmatic access. The TLS protocol provides integrity and disclosure protection. If the
negotiation of a TLS session fails, the attempted connection will not be established.
The TOE protects communication with network peers, such as an external audit server
(syslog server) and a VPN peer using IPsec connections to provide disclosure or modification
protections. The TOE can be configured to use MACsec to secure the channel to an external
audit server (syslog server) at Layer 2. The TOE can also provide a TLS connection to a
controlled network device and validate the X509v3 certificate that is presented by the device.

That information has not been reproduced here and the NDcPP22e/MACsec10/VPNGW13
should be consulted if there is interest in that material.
The scope of this evaluation was limited to the functionality and assurances covered in the
NDcPP22e/MACsec10/VPNGW13 as described for this TOE in the Security Target. Other
functionality included in the product was not assessed as part of this evaluation. All other
functionality provided by the devices needs to be assessed separately, and no further
conclusions can be drawn about their effectiveness.
Clarification of scope
All evaluations (and all products) have limitations, as well as potential misconceptions that
need clarification. 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 assurance
activities specified in the collaborative Protection Profile for Network Devices and
the MACsec and VPNGW Modules and performed by the evaluation team).
• 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.
• Apart from the Admin Guide, additional customer documentation for the specific
VPN Gateway, MACsec Ethernet Encryption models 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.
• This evaluation did not specifically search for, nor attempt to exploit, 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 functionality evaluated is scoped exclusively to the security functional
requirements specified in the NDcPP22e/MACsec10/VPNGW13 and applicable
Technical Decisions. Any additional security related functional capabilities of the
TOE were not covered by this evaluation.
