10 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of Juniper vGW, including
the following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the Juniper vGW functional specification and design
documentation; they determined that the design completely and accurately describes the TOE
security functionality (TSF) interfaces, the TSF subsystems and how the TSF implements the
security functional requirements (SFRs). The evaluators analyzed the Juniper vGW security
architectural description and determined that the initialization process is secure, that the
security functions are protected against tamper and bypass, and that security domains are
maintained. The evaluators also independently verified that the correspondence mappings
between the design documents are correct.
Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the Juniper vGW preparative user guidance
and operational user guidance and determined that it sufficiently and unambiguously
describes how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated configuration and how to use
and administer the product. The evaluators examined and tested the preparative and

operational guidance, and determined that they are complete and sufficiently detailed to
result in a secure configuration.
Life-cycle support: An analysis of the Juniper vGW configuration management system and
associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the Juniper vGW
configuration items were clearly marked. The developer’s configuration management system
was observed during a site visit, and it was found to be mature and well-developed.
The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of
the procedures required to maintain the integrity of Juniper vGW during distribution to the
consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by developer for the Juniper
vGW. During a site visit, the evaluators also examined the evidence generated by adherence
to the procedures. The evaluators concluded that the procedures are adequate to track and
correct security flaws, and distribute the flaw information and corrections to consumers of
the product.
Vulnerability assessment: The evaluators conducted an independent vulnerability analysis
of Juniper vGW. Additionally, the evaluators conducted a search of public domain
vulnerability databases to identify Juniper vGW potential vulnerabilities. The evaluators
identified potential vulnerabilities for testing applicable to Juniper vGW in its operational
environment.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.
11 ITS Product Testing
Testing consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
11.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluators verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining
their test evidence, and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR2
.
The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis and found it to be complete
and accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test
documentation and the functional specification was complete.

11.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation, examining the developer's test documentation,
executing a sample of the developer's test cases, and creating test cases that augmented the
developer tests.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach is the
following list of EWA-Canada test goals:
a. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests;
b. Concurrent Logins: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that there is no privilege
escalation with concurrent logins
c. User Deletion: The objective of this test goal is confirm that deleted users cannot login;
and
d. IDS functionality: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the IDS functionality
of the TOE works as intended.
11.3 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and all
evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted.
The penetration tests focused on:
a. Port Scan: The objective of this test goal is to scan the TOE using a port scanner to
identify open ports for potential issues;
b. Vulnerability Identification: Tool Scanning: The objective of this test goal is to scan the
TOE for vulnerabilities using automated tools; and
c. Information Leakage Verification: The objective of this test goal is to monitor the TOE
for leakage during start-up, shutdown, login, and other scenarios using a packet sniffer.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
intended operating environment.

functional and penetration tests. The testing took place at the Information Technology
Security Evaluation and Test (ITSET) Facility at EWA-Canada. The CCS Certification Body
witnessed a portion of the independent testing. The detailed testing activities, including
configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed results are documented
in a separate Test Results document.
11.5 Testing Results
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests yielded the expected results,
giving assurance that Juniper vGW behaves as specified in its ST and functional
specification.
12 Results of the Evaluation
This evaluation has provided the basis for an EAL 2+ level of assurance. The overall verdict
for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in the ETR.
13 Evaluator Comments, Observations and Recommendations
In order to install the TOE, correct placement within the network is important. It is
recommended that the administrator consult with their IT architect to ensure proper support
for the appliance in the environment as incorrect placement within the network could lead to
traffic not being detected.
