3 Architectural Information
Note: The following architectural description is based on the description presented in the
Security Target.
The TOE is a mobile operating system based on Android 4.4 with modifications made to
increase the level of security provided to end users and enterprises. The TOE is intended to
be used as part of an enterprise messaging solution providing mobile staff with enterprise
connectivity.
The TOE includes a Common Criteria mode (or “CC mode”) that an administrator can
manage through use of an MDM. The TOE must be configured as follows in order for an
administrator to transition the TOE to CC mode.
• Require a screen lock password (swipe, PIN, pattern, or facial recognition screen
locks are not allowed).
• The maximum password failure retry policy should be less than or equal to ten.
• Device encryption must be enabled.
• SD Card encryption must be enabled.
When CC mode has been enabled, the TOE behaves as follows.
• The TOE sets the system wide Android CC mode property to “Enabled”.
• The TOE performs FIPS 140-2 power-on self-tests.
• The TOE performs self-tests for the Samsung Key Management Module v2.0.
• The TOE performs secure boot integrity checking of the kernel and key system
executables.
• The TOE prevents loading of custom firmware/kernels and requires all updates
occur through FOTA (Samsung’s Firmware Over The Air firmware update method)
• The TOE uses FIPS 140-2 approved cryptographic ciphers when joining and
communicating with wireless networks.
• The TOE utilizes FIPS 140-2 approved cryptographic ciphers for TLS.
Samsung Galaxy Devices Validation Report, Version 0.5
February 24, 2014

• The TOE ensures FOTA updates utilize 2048-bit PKCS #1 RSA-PSS formatted
signatures (with SHA-512 hashing).
There are three different models of the TOE, the Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 3, and the Galaxy
NotePRO tablet. These models differ in physical form factor and in addition, Samsung
offers each model in differing hardware variants:
• Samsung manufactures the Galaxy S4 hardware in a GSM or CDMA cellular radio
variant and offers each variant with 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of internal Flash
storage.
• Samsung manufactures the Galaxy Note 3 hardware in a single configuration with
32GB of internal Flash storage and a cellular radio capable of operating on both
GSM and CDMA networks.
• Samsung manufactures the Galaxy NotePRO with an LTE cellular radio and offers
it with either 32GB or 64GB of internal Flash storage.
Finally, the Galaxy NotePRO was evaluated without a SIM chip, and thus it does not have
any LTE/cellular capabilities in its evaluated configuration
3.1 TOE Evaluated Configuration

3.2 TOE Architecture
The TOE combines with a Mobile Device Management solution that enables the enterprise
to watch, control and administer all deployed mobile devices, across multiple mobile
service providers as well as facilitate secure communications through a VPN. This
partnership provides a secure mobile environment that can be managed and controlled by
the environment and reduce the risks that can be introduced through a Bring-Your-Own-
Device (BYOD) model.
Data on the TOE is protected through the implementation of Samsung On-Device
Encryption (ODE) which utilizes a FIPS 140-2 certified cryptographic module to encrypt
device and SD card storage. This functionality is combined with a number of on-device
policies including local wipe, remote wipe, password complexity, automatic lock and
privileged access to security configurations to prevent unauthorized access to the device
and stored data.
The Samsung Enterprise Software Development Kit (SDK) builds on top of the existing
Android security model by expanding the current set of security configuration of options to
more than 390 configurable policies and including additional security functionality such as
application whitelisting and blacklisting.
3.3 Physical Boundaries
The TOE is a multi-user operating system based on Android (4.4) that incorporates the
Samsung Enterprise SDK. The TOE does not include the user applications that run on top
of the operating system, but does include controls that limit application behavior. The
method of use for the TOE is as a mobile messaging and VPN device for use within an
enterprise environment where the configuration of the device is managed through a
compliant device management solution.
The TOE communicates and interacts with 802.11-2012 Access Points to establish network
connectivity, and through that connectivity interacts with MDM servers that allow
administrative control of the TOE.
4 Security Policy
This section summarizes the security functionality of the TOE:
1. Cryptographic support
2. User data protection
3. Identification and authentication
4. Security Management
5. Protection of the TSF
6. TOE access
7. Trusted path/channels
Samsung Galaxy Devices Validation Report, Version 0.5

4.1 Cryptographic support
The TOE includes a cryptographic module with FIPS 140-2 certified algorithms for a wide
range of cryptographic functions including: asymmetric key generation and establishment,
symmetric key generation, encryption/decryption, cryptographic hashing and keyed-hash
message authentication. These functions are supported with suitable random bit generation,
key derivation, salt generation, initialization vector generation, secure key storage, and key
and protected data destruction. These primitive cryptographic functions are used to
implement security protocols such as TLS and HTTPS and also to encrypt the media
(including the generation and protection of data, right, and key encryption keys) used by
the TOE. Many if these cryptographic functions are also accessible as services to
applications running on the TOE.
4.2 User data protection
The TOE is designed to control access to system services by hosted applications, including
protection of the Trust Anchor Database. Additionally, the TOE is design to protect user
and other sensitive data using encryption so that even if a device is physically lost, the data
remains protected.
4.3 Identification and authentication
The TOE supports a number of features related to identification and authentication. From a
user perspective, except for making phone calls to an emergency number, a password (i.e.,
Password Authentication Factor) must be correctly entered to unlock the TOE. Also, even
when the TOE is unlocked the password must be re-entered to change the password.
Passwords are obscured when entered so they cannot be read from the TOE's display and
the frequency of entering passwords is limited and when a configured number of failures
occurs, the TOE will be wiped to protect its contents. Passwords can be constructed using
upper and lower cases characters, numbers, and special characters and passwords up to 16
characters are supported. The TOE can also serve as an 802.1X supplicant and can use
X509v3 and validate certificates for EAP-TLS and TLS, exchanges.
4.4 Security management
The TOE provides all the interfaces necessary to manage the security functions identified
throughout this Security Target as well as other functions commonly found in mobile
devices. Many of the available functions are available to users of the TOE while many are
restricted to administrators operating through a Mobile Device Management solution once
the TOE has been enrolled. Once the TOE has been enrolled and then un-enrolled, it
removes all MDM policies and disables CC mode.

4.5 Protection of the TSF
The TOE implements a number of features designed to protect itself to ensure the
reliability and integrity of its security features. It protects particularly sensitive data such as
cryptographic keys so that they are not accessible or exportable. It also provides its own
timing mechanism to ensure that reliable time information is available (e.g., for log
accountability). It enforces read, write, and execute memory page protections, uses address
space layout randomization, and stack-based buffer overflow protections to minimize the
potential to exploit application flaws. It is also designed to protect itself from modification
by applications as well as to isolate the address spaces of applications from one another to
protect those applications.
The TOE includes functions to perform self-tests and software/firmware integrity checking
so that it might detect when it is failing or may be corrupt. If any of the self-tests fail, the
TOE will not go into an operational mode. It also includes mechanisms (i.e., verification of
the digital signature of each new image) so that the TOE itself can be updated while
ensuring that the updates will not introduce malicious or other unexpected changes in the
TOE. Digital signature checking also extends to verifying applications prior to their
installation.
4.6 TOE access
The TOE can be locked, obscuring its display, by the user or after a configured interval of
inactivity. The TOE also has the capability to display an advisory message (banner) when
users unlock the TOE for use. The TOE is also able to attempt to connect to wireless
networks as configured.
4.7 Trusted path/channels
The TOE supports the use of 802.11-2012, 802.1X, EAP-TLS, and TLS to secure
communications channels between itself and other trusted network devices.
5 Assumptions and Clarification of Scope

10 Validator Comments/Recommendations
During the course of this evaluation the evaluators were proactive in identifying aspects of
the Protection Profile that needed interpretation and clarification. Whenever possible, the
issues were submitted to the Technology Rapid Response Team and the findings have been
captured for distribution through a FAC and eventually an update to the Protection Profile.
Samsung Galaxy Devices Validation Report, Version 0.5
February 24, 2014
12
The validators appreciated the timely identification of concerns and the vendors and
CCTL’s flexibility in responding to the TRRT findings.
The evaluated configuration requires that software updates to the TOE be restricted to
FOTA. The evaluators were unable to directly exercise this mechanism since it would have
involved placing invalid updates on the live public servers that are currently in use by
present customers. Hence, the evaluators had to take the products out of the evaluated
configuration to test the update features.
