4.15 Evaluation Conduct
The evaluation was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the
Norwegian Certification Scheme for IT Security as described in SERTIT
Document SD001E[5]. The Scheme is managed by the Norwegian
Certification Authority for IT Security (SERTIT). As stated on page 2 of this
Certification Report, SERTIT is a member of the Arrangement on the
Recognition of Common Criteria Certificates in the Field of Information
Technology Security (CCRA), and the evaluation was conducted in
accordance with the terms of this Arrangement.
The purpose of the evaluation was to provide assurance about the
effectiveness of the TOE in meeting its Security Target[1], which prospective
consumers are advised to read. To ensure that the Security Target[1] gave
an appropriate baseline for a CC evaluation, it was first itself evaluated. The
TOE was then evaluated against this baseline. Both parts of the evaluation
were performed in accordance with CC Part 3[4] and the Common Evaluation
Methodology (CEM)[6].
SERTIT monitored the evaluation which was carried out by the Norconsult AS
Commercial Evaluation Facility (EVIT). The evaluation was completed when
the EVIT submitted the Evaluation Technical Report (ETR)[7] to SERTIT in 3
May 2018. SERTIT then produced this Certification Report.
4.16 General Points
The evaluation addressed the security functionality claimed in the Security
Target[1] with reference to the assumed operating environment specified by
the Security Target[1]. The evaluated configuration was that specified in
Annex A. Prospective consumers are advised to check that this matches their
Thinklogical TLX12 Matrix Switch EAL 4

identified requirements and give due consideration to the recommendations
and caveats of this report.
Certification does not guarantee that the IT product is free from security
vulnerabilities. This Certification Report and the belonging Certificate only
reflect the view of SERTIT at the time of certification. It is furthermore the
responsibility of users (both existing and prospective) to check whether any
security vulnerabilities have been discovered since the date shown in this
report. This Certification Report is not an endorsement of the IT product by
SERTIT or any other organization that recognizes or gives effect to this
Certification Report, and no warranty of the IT product by SERTIT or any
other organization that recognizes or gives effect to this Certification Report
is either expressed or implied.

5 Evaluation Findings
5.1 Introduction
The evaluation addressed the requirements specified in the Security
Target[1]. The results of this work were reported in the ETR[7] under the CC
Part 3[4] headings. The following sections note considerations that are of
particular relevance to either consumers or those involved with subsequent
assurance maintenance and re-evaluation of the TOE.
5.2 Delivery
On receipt of the TOE, the consumer is recommended to check that the
evaluated version has been supplied, and to check that the security of the
TOE has not been compromised in delivery.
The developer has procedures for standard commercial delivery services
supplemented with methods for tamper proof delivery of the TOE.
5.3 Installation and Guidance Documentation
A description of the secure installation of the TOE and the secure
preparation of the operational environment in accordance with the security
objectives in the ST[1] can be found in the guidance documents.
The guidance documentation also describes the security functionality and
interfaces provided by the TOE. It provides instructions and guidelines for
the secure use of the TOE, it addresses secure procedures for all modes of
operation, facilitates prevention and detection of insecure TOE states.
A list of all guidance documents evaluated can be found in Annex A.
5.4 Misuse
There is always a risk of intentional and unintentional misconfigurations that
could possibly compromise confidential information. The user should always
follow the guidance for the TOE in order to ensure that the TOE operates in a
secure manner.
The guidance documents adequately describe the mode of operation of the
TOE, all assumptions about the intended environment and all requirements
for external security. Sufficient guidance is provided for the consumer to
effectively use the TOE's security functions
5.5 Vulnerability Analysis
The evaluators’ vulnerability analysis was based on both public domain
sources and the visibility of the TOE given by the evaluation process and
evaluation process of previous versions of the TOE. The vulnerability
analysis took into consideration the Enhanced-Basic attack potential
Thinklogical TLX12 Matrix Switch EAL 4
Page 12 of 15 SERTIT-102 CR Issue 1.0
8 May 2018
The evaluators have devised a set of tests to test potential vulnerabilities to
the TOE. The tests were performed at the developer’s site in Milford,
Connecticut in October 2017 / March 2018.
The result of the vulnerability analysis is that the TOE in its evaluated
configuration and in its intended environment has no exploitable
vulnerabilities.
5.6 Developer’s Tests
The evaluators’ assessment of the developer´s tests shows that the
developer´s tests cover all the TSFIs and all SFRs.
The evaluators have confirmed the developer have correctly performed and
documented the tests according to the test documentation.
5.7 Evaluators’ Tests
The evaluators have independently tested a sample of the developer´s tests
and verified that the TOE behaves as specified. Confidence in the
developer's test results is gained by performing a sample of the developer's
tests.
The evaluators tests were conducted at the developer’s site in Milford,
Connecticut in October 2017 / March 2018.

6 Evaluation Outcome
6.1 Certification Result
After due consideration of the ETR[7], produced by the Evaluators, and the
conduct of the evaluation, as witnessed by the Certifier, SERTIT has
determined that Thinklogical TLX12 Matrix Switch version NA
[running on platforms] meet the Common Criteria Part 3 conformant
components of Evaluation Assurance Level EAL 4 for the specified Common
Criteria Part 2 conformant functionality, in the specified environment, when
running on platforms specified in Annex A.
6.2 Recommendations
Prospective consumers of Thinklogical TLX12 Matrix Switch should
understand the specific scope of the certification by reading this report in
conjunction with the Security Target[1]. The TOE should be used in
accordance with a number of environmental considerations as specified in
the Security Target.
Only the evaluated TOE configuration should be installed. This is specified in
Annex A with further relevant information given above in Section 4.3 “TOE
Scope” and Section 5 “Evaluation Findings”.
The TOE should be used in accordance with the supporting guidance
documentation included in the evaluated configuration.
One assumption for the TOE stated in the ST [1] is that the switch, the
transmitters, the receivers, the optical connections from the Switch to the
transmitters and receivers and the wired network connections from the
Switch to the administrators are physically secure.The product manuals
states that the TOE must be physically protected in accordance with the
requirements of the highest classification. This assumption is important to
take into consideration especially for larger operational environments.
The above “Evaluation Findings” include a number of recommendations
relating to the secure receipt, installation, configuration and operation of the
TOE.

Environmental Configuration
For use in an evaluated configuration, the Router KVM Matrix Switches must
be located in a physically secure environment to which only authorized
administrators has access. Similarly, the server used to manage the Router
KVM Matrix Switches must be physically protected and have suitable
identification/authentication mechanism to ensure that only trusted
administrators have access.
The figure below shows the TLX24 Router KVM Matrix Switch in an evaluated
configuration. An equivalent layout is the evaluated configuration for the
TLX12 Router KVM Matrix Switch.
