1. Executive Summary
This report documents the assessment of the National Information Assurance Partnership
(NIAP) validation team of the evaluation of RedData PCIe Gen3 NVMe 1.3 & SATA III
SED SSDs solution provided by RedData, an RPI-CS, Inc. division. It presents the
evaluation results, their justifications, and the conformance results. This Validation
Report (VR) is not an endorsement of the Target of Evaluation (TOE) by any agency of
the U.S. government, and no warranty is either expressed or implied.
The evaluation was performed by the Lightship Security USA Common Criteria
Laboratory (CCTL) in Baltimore, MD, United States of America, and was completed in
July 2026. The information in this report is largely derived from the Evaluation Technical
Report (ETR) and associated test reports, all written by Lightship Security (LS). The
evaluation determined that the product is both Common Criteria Part 2 Extended and Part
3 Conformant and meets the assurance requirements of the collaborative Protection Profile
for Full Drive Encryption - Encryption Engine Version 2.0 + Errata 20190201.
The TOE is the RedData PCIe Gen3 NVMe 1.3 & SATA III SED SSDs. The TOE
identified in this VR has been evaluated at a NIAP approved CCTL using the Common
Methodology for IT Security Evaluation (Version 3.1, Rev 5) for conformance to the
Common Criteria for IT Security Evaluation (Version 3.1, Rev 5). This VR 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 (CCEVS) and the conclusions of the testing laboratory in the ETR are consistent
with the evidence provided.
The Validation team monitored the activities of the Evaluation team, provided guidance
on technical issues and evaluation processes, and reviewed the individual work units and
successive versions of the ETR. The Validation team found that the evaluation showed
that the product satisfies all of the functional requirements and assurance requirements
stated in the Security Target (ST). Therefore, 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 ETR are consistent
with the evidence produced.
The technical information included in this report was obtained from the RedData PCIe
Gen3 NVMe 1.3 & SATA III SED SSDs Security Target, Version 1.1, June 2026 and
analysis performed by the Validation Team.

Validation Report, Version 1.0
6
4.1. Data Protection
The TOE enables encryption and decryption of user data on a Self-Encrypting Drive
(SED) to protect it from unauthorized disclosure.
4.2. Secure Key Material
The TOE ensures key material used for storage encryption is properly generated and
protected from disclosure. It also implements cryptographic key and key material
destruction during transitioning to a Compliant power saving state, or when all keys and
key material are no longer needed.
4.3. Secure Management
The TOE enables management of its security functions, including:
i) Changing and erasing the Data Encryption Key (DEK)
ii) Updating the TOE firmware
4.4. Trusted Update
The TOE ensures the authenticity and integrity of firmware updates through digital
signatures using Rivest Shamir Adleman Algorithm (RSA) 2048 with Secure Hash
Algorithm (SHA)-256.
4.5. Self-Testing
The TOE ensures its integrity and operation by performing self-tests.
4.6. Cryptographic Operations
The TOE performs cryptographic operations as shown in relevant Cryptographic
Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) certificates.
5. Assumptions
The Security Problem Definition, including the assumptions, can be found in the
following documents:
• collaborative Protection Profile for Full Drive Encryption - Encryption Engine,
Version 2.0 + Errata 20190201, February 1, 2019
That information has not been reproduced here and CPP_FDE_EE_V2.0E should be
consulted if there is interest in that material.
6. Clarification of Scope
The scope of this evaluation was limited to the functionality and assurances covered in
CPP_FDE_EE_V2.0E 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
RedData PCIe Gen3 NVMe 1.3 & SATA III SED SSDs
Validation Report, Version 1.0

functionality provided by the devices needs to be assessed separately, and no further
conclusions can be drawn about their effectiveness.
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 in accordance with the assurance
activities specified in the CPP_FDE_EE_V2.0E and performed by the Evaluation
team
• This evaluation covers only the specific software version identified in this
document, and not any earlier or later versions released or in process.
• 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 CPP_FDE_EE_V2.0E and applicable Technical
Decisions. Any additional security related functional capabilities of the TOE
were not covered by this evaluation. In particular, as prescribed in sections 2.4.2
and 2.4.3 of the Security Target, the evaluation of the TOE does not include the
Authorization Acquisition component which is restricted to the environment nor
does it include configurations with multiple disks.

13. GLOSSARY
• Common Criteria Testing Laboratory (CCTL): An IT security evaluation facility
accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) and
approved by the CCEVS Validation Body to conduct Common Criteria-based
evaluations.
• Conformance. The ability to demonstrate in an unambiguous way that a given
implementation is correct with respect to the formal model.
• Evaluation: The assessment of an IT product against the Common Criteria using the
Common Criteria Evaluation Methodology to determine whether or not the claims
made are justified; or the assessment of a protection profile against the Common
Criteria using the Common Evaluation Methodology to determine if the Profile is
complete, consistent, technically sound and hence suitable for use as a statement of
requirements for one or more TOEs that may be evaluated.
• Evaluation Evidence: Any tangible resource (information) required from the sponsor
or developer by the evaluator to perform one or more evaluation activities.
• Feature. Part of a product that is either included with the product or can be ordered
separately.
• Target of Evaluation (TOE): A group of IT products configured as an IT system, or
an IT product, and associated documentation that is the subject of a security evaluation
under the CC.
• Threat: Means through which the ability or intent of a threat agent to adversely affect
the primary functionality of the TOE, facility that contains the TOE, or malicious
operation directed towards the TOE. A potential violation of security.
• Validation: The process carried out by the CCEVS Validation Body leading to the
issue of a Common Criteria certificate.
• Validation Body: A governmental organization responsible for carrying out validation
and for overseeing the day-to-day operation of the NIAP Common Criteria Evaluation
and Validation Scheme.
• Vulnerabilities: A vulnerability is a hardware, firmware, or software flaw that leaves
an Automated Information System (AIS) open for potential exploitation. A weakness
in automated system security procedures, administrative controls, physical layout,
internal controls, and so forth, which could be exploited by a threat to gain unauthorized
access to information or disrupt critical processing.
