1. Security Target Introduction
This section identifies the Security Target (ST) and Target of Evaluation (TOE) identification, ST conventions, ST
conformance claims, and the ST organization. The TOE is Sybase IQ User Administration, which consists of
extensions to Sybase IQ, version 12.6 developed by Sybase, Inc. (hereafter referred to simply as Sybase).
The Sybase IQ User Administration extensions are a subset of the Sybase IQ product that provides a set of stored
procedures that allow users to set, reset, and test the password expiration date. Sybase IQ provides relational
database technology designed as an extended version of Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA) version 9.0.1.
Sybase ASA is a separate evaluation.
The Security Target contains the following additional sections:
• TOE Description (Section 2)
• Security Environment (Section 3)
• Security Objectives (Section 4)
• IT Security Requirements (Section 5)
• TOE Summary Specification (Section 6)
• Protection Profile Claims (Section 7)
• Rationale (Section 8).

1.3 Conventions, Terminology, Acronyms
This section specifies the formatting information used in the Security Target.
1.3.1 Conventions
The following conventions have been applied in this document:
• Security Functional Requirements – Part 2 of the CC defines the approved set of operations that may be
applied to functional requirements: iteration, assignment, selection, and refinement.
o Iteration: allows a component to be used more than once with varying operations. In the ST,
iteration is indicated by a letter in parenthesis placed at the end of the component. For example
FDP_ACC.1a and FDP_ACC.1b indicate that the ST includes two iterations of the FDP_ACC.1
requirement, a and b.
o Assignment: allows the specification of an identified parameter. Assignments are indicated using
bold and are surrounded by brackets (e.g., [assignment]).
o Selection: allows the specification of one or more elements from a list. Selections are indicated
using bold italics and are surrounded by brackets (e.g., [selection]).
o Refinement: allows the addition of details. Refinements are indicated using bold, for additions,
and strike-through, for deletions (e.g., “… all objects …” or “… some big things …”).
• Explicit Security Functional Requirements are identified with the following symbol suffix: “_EXP”, for
example FTA_MCS_EXP.
• Other sections of the ST – Other sections of the ST use bolding to highlight text of special interest, such as
captions.
2. TOE Description
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) is the Sybase IQ User Administration extensions of Sybase IQ version 12.6
configured and operated according to the guidance documents identified later in this Security Target.
The Sybase IQ User Administration extensions operate in the context of Sybase IQ which is in turn designed to
execute as a set of applications in the context of commercially available operating systems, specifically Microsoft
Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003, Sun Solaris 8, HP-UX, and Redhat Linux Advanced Server 2.1.
2.1 TOE Overview
The Sybase IQ User Administration extensions (i.e., the TOE) are realized as a set of stored procedures and
supporting database tables. These stored procedures can be used to configure the security functions of the TOE and
can also be invoked by the hosting Sybase IQ product to invoke the security functions of the TOE. The TOE stores
configuration and other data to support the implementation of its security functions in Sybase IQ database tables.
The hosting (i.e., not part of the TOE) Sybase IQ product provides relational database technology designed as an
extended version of Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA). Specifically Sybase IQ is a decision support server
designed specifically for data warehousing and has been designed around the ASA core with this market in mind.
The advantages of Sybase IQ include support for an entire enterprise in either a centralized or distributed (e.g., per
business unit) configuration. While most conventional relational databases used for running business processes are
tuned for OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing), Sybase IQ is optimized for data analysis.
Sybase IQ runs as applications on top of an operating system and depends on the services exported by the operating
system to function. Sybase IQ uses operating system services for process creation and manipulation; device and file
processing; shared memory creation and manipulation; and security requests such as inter-process communication.
The hardware upon which the operating system runs is completely transparent to Sybase IQ - Sybase IQ sees only
the operating system’s user interfaces.

Security Target Version 1.0, 02/08/05
2.2 TOE Architecture
The components that make up the Target of Evaluation (TOE) are:
• Stored Procedures - these stored procedures can be used to configure the security functions of the TOE and
can also be invoked by Sybase IQ to invoke the security functions of the TOE.
• Database Tables - the TOE stores configuration and other data to support the implementation of its security
functions in Sybase IQ database tables.
2.2.1 Physical Boundaries
The Sybase IQ User Administration functions are accessible by invoking its defined stored procedures in the context
of Sybase IQ. These stored procedures can be accessed by users and the IT environment (i.e., the rest of Sybase IQ)
via Sybase IQ mechanisms.
2.2.2 Logical Boundaries
The TOE logically supports the following security functions at its interfaces:
• Security Management and
• TOE access.
2.2.2.1 Security management
Sybase IQ User Administration provides a set of stored procedures that allow users to manage password expiration
configuration data.
2.2.2.2 TOE access
Sybase IQ User Administration provides a set of stored procedures that can be invoked to reset password aging
information (such as when a password is changed) and to determine whether a given password has expired (to be
used during session establishment to impose this restriction,).
2.3 TOE Documentation
Sybase offers a series of documents that describe the installation process for Sybase IQ (including Sybase IQ User
Administration) as well as guidance for subsequent use and administration of the applicable security features. Refer
to Section 6 for information about these and other documentation associated with Sybase IQ User Administration.

3. Security Environment
The security environment for the functions addressed by this specification includes threats, security policies, and
usage assumptions, as discussed below.
3.1 Organizational Policies
P.ACCOUNTABILITY The users of the IT Environment shall be held accountable for their
actions within the IT Environment.
P.AUTHORIZATION The IT Environment shall limit the extent of each user’s abilities in
accordance with the TSP.
P.AUTHORIZED_USERS Access controls will ensure that only those users who have been
authorized to access the protected information within the IT Environment
will be able to do so.
P.I_AND_A All users must be identified and authenticated prior to accessing any
controlled resources
P.NEED_TO_KNOW The IT Environment must limit the access to information in protected
resources to those authorized users who have a need to know that
information.
P.ROLES The IT Environment shall provide an authorized administrator role for
secure administration of the IT Environment. This role shall be separate
and distinct from other authorized users.
3.2 Threats
T.ADMIN_ERROR An authorized administrator may incorrectly install or configure the IT
Environment resulting in ineffective security mechanisms.
T.AUDIT_COMPROMISE A process or user may cause audit data to be inappropriately accessed
(viewed, modified or deleted), or prevent future records from being
recorded, thus masking an attacker’s actions.
T.MASQUERADE An unauthorized user, process, or external IT entity may masquerade as
an authorized entity to gain access to data or IT Environment resources.
T.PASSWORD An unauthorized user may gain unauthorized access to user data by
guessing or otherwise determining a password that an authorized user
has forgotten to change after a specified number of days.
T.RESIDUAL_DATA A user or process may gain unauthorized access to data through
reallocation of IT Environment resources from one user or process to
another.
T.SYSACC A malicious process or user may gain unauthorized access to the
authorized administrator account, or that of other trusted personnel.
7
Security Target Version 1.0, 02/08/05
T.TSF_COMPROMISE A malicious user or process may cause configuration data to be
inappropriately accessed (viewed, modified or deleted).
T.UNAUTH_ACCESS A user may gain unauthorized access (view, modify, delete) to user data.
T.UNDETECTED_ACTIONS Failure of the IT operating system to detect and record unauthorized
actions may occur.
T.UNIDENTIFIED_ACTIONS Failure of the authorized administrator to identify and act upon
unauthorized actions may occur.
T.USER_ERROR An authorized user may incorrectly change data they are authorized to
modify.
3.3 Assumptions
A.NO_EVIL Authorized administrators are non-hostile, appropriately trained and
follow all administrator guidance.
A.NO_GENERAL_PURPOSE There are no general-purpose computing capabilities (e.g., compilers or
user applications) available on DBMS servers, other than those services
necessary for the operation, administration and support of the DBMS.
A.PHYSICAL It is assumed that appropriate physical security is provided within the
domain for the value of the IT assets protected by the TOE and the value
of the stored, processed, and transmitted information.
A.ROBUST_ENVIRONMENT It is assumed that the IT environment provides support commensurate
with the expectations of the TOE.

6. TOE Summary Specification
This chapter describes the security functions and associated assurance measures.
6.1 TOE Security Functions
6.1.1 Security management
Sybase IQ User Administration offers stored procedures that allow the applicable users to manage password
expiration configuration data. Specifically, the stored procedure allows password expiration periods to be
established for specified users.
The Security management function is designed to satisfy the following security functional requirements:
• FMT_SMF.1a: The TOE provides stored procedures that allow the management of password expiration
configuration data.
6.1.2 TOE access
Sybase IQ User Administration manages password expiration data in database tables stored in the IT environment.
Sybase IQ User Administration includes a stored procedure that can be invoked by the IT environment (e.g., during
session establishment) which will determine whether a password has expired and return the result to the invoker.
When invoked, the invoker must identify a user that is used to determine which password expiration data to use and
the stored procedure queries the current time from the IT environment so that it can determine whether the password
has expired or not.
The TOE also provides a similar stored procedure that can be used to reset the password aging information (e.g.,
when a password is changed by a user) when invoked. This stored procedure also requires the identity of the
applicable user and uses the current time provided by the IT environment to keep track of when the password was
last changed.
Note that both of these functions must be invoked by the IT environment when appropriate since the TOE provides
only supporting services and does not directly enforce the password expiration services it offers. Note that it is also
up to the environment to use the information appropriately to alert users or otherwise enforce applicable restrictions.
The TOE access function is designed to satisfy the following security functional requirements:
• FTA_TSE_EXP.1: The TOE provides functions to reset and check password expiration data to indicate
whether a given password has expired.
6.2 TOE Security Assurance Measures
6.2.1 Configuration management
The configuration management measures applied by Sybase ensure that configuration items are uniquely identified,
and that documented procedures are used to control and track changes that are made to the TOE. Sybase ensures
changes to the implementation representation are controlled. Sybase performs configuration management on the
TOE implementation representation, design documentation, tests and test documentation, user and administrator
guidance, delivery and operation documentation, life-cycle documentation, vulnerability analysis documentation,
and configuration management documentation.
These activities are documented in:
• Sybase IQ Configuration Management Plan
• Sybase IQ Life Cycle Plan
24
Security Target Version 1.0, 02/08/05
The Configuration management assurance measure satisfies the following EAL 3 augmented with ALC_FLR.2
assurance requirements:
• ACM_CAP.3
• ACM_SCP.1
6.2.2 Delivery and operation
Sybase provides delivery documentation and procedures to identify the TOE, secure the TOE during delivery, and
provide necessary installation and generation instructions. Sybase’s delivery procedures describe all applicable
procedures to be used to prevent in appropriate access to the TOE. Sybase also provides documentation that
describes the steps necessary to install the TOE in accordance with the evaluated configuration.
These activities are documented in:
• Sybase IQ Delivery and Operation

The Delivery and operation assurance measure satisfies the following EAL 3 augmented with ALC_FLR.2
assurance requirements:
• ADO_DEL.1
• ADO_IGS.1
6.2.3 Development
Sybase has numerous documents describing all facets of the design of the TOE. In particular, they have a functional
specification that describes the accessible TOE interfaces; a high-level design that decomposes the TOE architecture
into subsystems and describes each subsystem and their interfaces; and, correspondence documentation that explains
how each of the design abstractions correspond from the TOE summary specification in the Security Target to the
subsystems.
These activities are documented in:
• Sybase IQ User Administration Design Specification
• Sybase IQ User Administration Functional Specification
• IQ User Administration Correspondence
The Development assurance measure satisfies the following EAL 3 augmented with ALC_FLR.2 assurance
requirements:

• O.PASSWORD: The TOE must provide the authorized administrator with the ability to manage the
password expiration function, specifically by allowing the definition of expiration periods.
• OE.USER_AUTHENTICATION: Passwords are only effective if a user is actually required to authenticate
their claimed identity.
8.1.1.11 T.RESIDUAL_DATA
A user or process may gain unauthorized access to data through reallocation of IT Environment resources
from one user or process to another.
This Threat is satisfied by ensuring that:
• OE.RESIDUAL_INFORMATION: When data is deleted from memory or storage (e.g., disk drive) it is
often left intact and not truly erased. Subsequent users who have that same memory space allocated to their
processes might be able to observe other users’ data that is residual in that memory/storage. Addressing this
threat yields the objective that prohibits users from accessing data that had been stored in system resources
previously allocated to other users.
8.1.1.12 T.SYSACC
A malicious process or user may gain unauthorized access to the authorized administrator account, or that
of other trusted personnel.

objective for protection.
• OE.PHYSICAL: The IT environment will protect the TSF data and executable code from a compromise
through physical means.
8.1.1.14 T.UNAUTH_ACCESS
A user may gain unauthorized access (view, modify, delete) to user data.
This Threat is satisfied by ensuring that:
• OE.ACCESS: The TOE must satisfy the objective of ensuring that only authorized users may gain access to
the IT Environment and the resources it protects, and that users are not allowed to access protected data for
which they are not authorized.
• OE.DISCRETIONARY_ACCESS: Access to user data is controlled by a discretionary policy.
• OE.INTERNAL_TOE_DOMAINS: The IT Environment maintains internal domains to keep data and
processes of concurrent users separate, so users cannot observe or interfere with other users’ data or

storage capabilities. This will protect the TSF data from malicious processes.
8.1.1.20 A.PHYSICAL
It is assumed that appropriate physical security is provided within the domain for the value of the IT assets
protected by the TOE and the value of the stored, processed, and transmitted information.
This Assumption is satisfied by ensuring that:
• OE.PHYSICAL: The TOE, the TSF data, and protected user data is assumed to be protected from physical
attack (e.g., theft, modification, destruction, or eavesdropping). Physical attack could include unauthorized
intruders into the TOE environment, but it does not include physical destructive actions that might be taken
by an individual that is authorized to access the TOE environment.
8.1.1.21 A.ROBUST_ENVIRONMENT
It is assumed that the IT environment provides support commensurate with the expectations of the TOE.
This Assumption is satisfied by ensuring that:
• OE.ROBUST_ENVIRONMENT: The TOE shall only be installed in an IT environment that is at least as
robust as the TOE. The TOE is basic robustness, therefore, all elements in the environment the TOE
depends on for enforcement of its security objectives are also assumed to be basic robustness. These
elements could include the operating system, encryption devices, and/or boundary protection devices.
• OE.TRUST_IT: The IT entities in the environment are correctly installed, configured, managed,

remind users to change their passwords.
This TOE Security Objective is satisfied by ensuring that:
• FMT_SMF.1a: The TOE is required to provide the administrator with the ability to manage password
expiration configuration parameters.
8.2.1.3 OE.ACCESS
The IT Environment will ensure that users gain only authorized access to it and to the resources that it
controls.
This IT Environment Security Objective is satisfied by ensuring that:
• FDP_ACC.1: The Discretionary Access Control policy applies to all operations between subjects and
objects (tables, views, stored procedures and user-defined functions) controlled by the IT Environment.
• FDP_ACF.1: The subjects and objects under the discretionary access control policy will have certain rules
that apply to all accesses between them. The rules are based on subject identities and access control lists
associated with database objects that either grant or deny potential request access.
• FMT_REV.1a: Security attributes associated with subjects and objects are the basis for access control.
Revocation of these security attributes would modify the access control policy. The authorized
administrator should have control over security attributes associated with users (such as user authentication
data), being the only role that can revoke them.
• FTA_MCS_EXP.1: The IT Environment must keep track of what user sessions are currently established
and running, associating each established session with a uniquely identified user. The IT environment must
provide the ability to limit the number of concurrent user sessions.

• FMT_SMR.1: The IT Environment will establish, at least, an authorized administrator role. The authorized
administrator will be given privileges to perform certain tasks that other users will not be able to perform.
These privileges include, but are not limited to, access to audit information and security functions.
8.2.1.5 OE.AUDIT_GENERATION
The IT Environment will provide the capability to detect and create records of security relevant events
associated with users.
This IT Environment Security Objective is satisfied by ensuring that:
• FAU_GEN.1: This objective is satisfied in part by the requirement that the IT Environment generate audit
records according to the minimum level of auditing, as defined by the Common Criteria.
36
Security Target Version 1.0, 02/08/05
• FAU_GEN.2: Each audit record written must be descriptive of the event that caused a record to be
generated, and must be associated with the unique identity of the user that caused the event.
• FAU_SEL.1: The IT Environment enables the authorized administrator to pre-select events to include in
the audit log.
• FIA_USB.1: All subjects that act on behalf of users must have a binding that associates the subjects with a
user. This is necessary to be able to associate audit records with user identities.
• FMT_MOF.1: The IT Environment ensures that the authorized administrator role is the only role
authorized to manipulate the behavior of the audit generation mechanism.
• FMT_SMF.1b: The IT Environment ensures that the authorized administrator role is able to manipulate the

The IT Environment will provide the capability to selectively view audit information.
This IT Environment Security Objective is satisfied by ensuring that:
• FAU_SAR.1: In order for the authorized administrator to review the audit logs they must be accessible in a
suitable form for the authorized administrator to read, which means the authorized administrator should
have the appropriate functions needed to interpret the data.
• FAU_SAR.3: The authorized administrator must be able to search and sort on the audit data based on user
identity. This will allow the authorized administrator to examine specific events more efficiently.
8.2.1.8 OE.DISCRETIONARY_ACCESS
The IT Environment will control access to resources based upon the identity of users or groups of users.
This IT Environment Security Objective is satisfied by ensuring that:
• FDP_ACC.1: The Discretionary Access Control policy applies to all operations between subjects and
objects controlled by the IT Environment.
• FDP_ACF.1: The subjects and objects under the discretionary access control policy will have certain rules
that apply to all accesses between them. The rules are based on subject identities and access control lists
associated with database objects that either grant or deny potential request access.
• FIA_USB.1: All subjects that act on behalf of users must have a binding that associates the subjects with a
user uniquely.
• FMT_MSA.1: Only authorized administrators may manipulate the security attributes of database users.
• FMT_MSA.3: Default access control attributes are restrictive to prevent accidental (non-discretionary)
disclosure of information that should be protected.

administrators in their management of the security of the TOE.
This IT Environment Security Objective is satisfied by ensuring that:
• FMT_MOF.1: Only the authorized administrator will be able to enable or disable functions of the audit log.
This will prevent a malicious user from turning off the audit log while he/she performs a malicious act, then
turning it back on when he/she is done.
• FMT_MSA.1: Only authorized administrators may manipulate the security attributes of database users.
• FMT_MSA.2: The IT Environment rejects invalid and insecure data to help ensure the effectiveness of the
security functions.
• FMT_MTD.1a: Only authorized administrators are able to manage the inclusion/exclusion of specific
events to be audited.
• FMT_MTD.1b: Only authorized administrators are authorized to query or clear the audit log.
• FMT_MTD.1c: Only authorized administrators are authorized to set or reset user authentication data.

select audited events, review audit records, and manage database subjects and authentication data.
8.2.1.11 OE.PROTECT
The IT Environment will provide mechanisms to protect user data and resources.
This IT Environment Security Objective is satisfied by ensuring that:
• FDP_ACC.1: The Discretionary Access Control policy applies to all operations between subjects and
objects (tables, views, stored procedures and user-defined functions) controlled by the IT Environment.
• FDP_ACF.1: The subjects and objects under the discretionary access control policy will have certain rules
that apply to all accesses between them. The rules are based on subject identities and access control lists
associated with database objects that either grant or deny potential request access.
• FDP_RIP.2: When data is deleted from memory or storage (e.g., disk drive) it is often left intact and not
truly erased. It is then possible for other users with access to the memory to view previously protected data.
Therefore when a block of memory is allocated it is necessary to ensure all previous data stored in that
block has been made unavailable.
• FMT_REV.1b: The discretionary nature of the policy allows users to modify access control permissions,
which are represented by security attributes. Users are allowed to modify the security attributes of subjects
and objects as permitted by the Discretionary Access Control policy.
8.2.1.12 OE.RESIDUAL_INFORMATION
The IT Environment will ensure that any information contained in a protected resource is not released
when the resource is reallocated.
This IT Environment Security Objective is satisfied by ensuring that:
• FDP_RIP.2: When data is deleted from memory or storage (e.g., disk drive) it is often left intact and not
truly erased. It is then possible for other users with access to the memory to view previously protected data.
Therefore when a block of memory is allocated it is necessary to ensure all previous data stored in that
block has been made unavailable.
38
Security Target Version 1.0, 02/08/05

informed access decisions.
• FPT_SEP.1: The IT Environment is required to protect itself and separate the contexts of its users.
8.2.1.16 OE.USER_AUTHENTICATION
The IT Environment will verify the claimed identity of users.
This IT Environment Security Objective is satisfied by ensuring that:
• FIA_AFL.1: To prevent brute force attacks on authentication data, the administrator must specify an upper
bound on the number of unsuccessful authentications that will be allowed. Surpassing that threshold could
indicate a brute force user authentication attack, and the IT Environment needs to take appropriate action.
• FIA_SOS.1: User authentication is meaningful only if there is an extremely low probability of success for
random attempts to authenticate as an authorized user. The requirement ensures that the secret
authentication data is computationally difficult to guess randomly.
• FIA_UAU.2: Users must be authenticated before they can perform any TSF-mediated functions.
• FMT_MTD.1c: The user authentication data is to be set only by an authenticated individual in an
authorized role.
8.2.1.17 OE.USER_IDENTIFICATION
The IT Environment will uniquely identify users.
This IT Environment Security Objective is satisfied by ensuring that:

8.3 Security Assurance Requirements Rationale
Sybase IQ is targeted at a generalized IT environment with good physical access security and competent
administrators. Within such environments it is assumed that attackers will have a relatively low attack potential. As
such, EAL 3 (augmented with ALC_FLR.2) is appropriate to provide the assurance necessary to counter the
potential for attack. Note also that this security target has defined an environment requiring more security than the
39
Security Target Version 1.0, 02/08/05
U.S. Government Protection Profile Consistency Guidance for Basic Robustness, dated 24 July 2002, and that is
comparable to or better than the historical notion of the C2 level of the Trusted Computer System Evaluation
Criteria.
8.4 Strength of Function Rationale
Sybase IQ is targeted at a generalized IT environment with good physical access security and competent
administrators. Within such environments it is assumed that attackers will have a moderate attack potential. As such,
a strength of function of ‘medium’ is appropriate for the intended environment. Note that the only applicable
mechanisms (i.e., those that are probabilistic or permutational) are related to identification and authentication
(FIA_SOS.1, FIA_UAU.2, and FIA_UID.2) and are associated with the IT environment.
8.5 Requirement Dependency Rationale
The following table represents an analysis of the dependencies of the security functional requirements (SFRs) in this
security target. The first column identifies all of the SFRs in this security target. The TOE SFRs are highlighted in
bold, unlike the IT environment SFRs, and all SARs are underlined. The second column identifies the minimum
dependencies defined in the Common Criteria v2.1 and associated interpretations2
. The third column identifies the
actual requirements in this security target that correspond to the identified dependencies. Again, the corresponding
TOE SFRs are highlighted in bold (none in this case) and SARs are underlined. Notice that this table demonstrates
that all of the identified dependencies are satisfied with the exception of the dependency of FMT_MSA.2 on
ADV_SPM.1.
While the Common Criteria defines ADV_SPM.1 as a dependency of FMT_MSA.2, this is not a true dependency.
The TOE Summary Specification (TSS) provided in this Security Target (ST) in conjunction with the
correspondence between the functional specification and the TSS required by ADV_RCR.1 (included in this ST)
essentially require the information identified in ADV_SPM.1.

The only International Interpretation that affects the dependencies of the SFRs in this security target as of the date
of the security target is International Interpretation #65. That interpretations introduces the SFR FMT_SMF.1 and
alters FMT_MOF.1, FMT_MSA.1, and FMT_MTD.1 so that they are all dependent upon it.

Table 6 Requirement Dependencies
8.6 Explicitly Stated Requirements Rationale
This security target includes two explicitly stated requirements: FTA_MCS_EXP.1 and FTA_TSE_EXP.1.
FTA_MCS_EXP.1 is very similar to the CC Part 2 FTA_MCS.1 requirement; except that it only requires that the IT
environment must be able to limit concurrent user sessions as opposed to requiring that it always must do so. This
explicit requirement was necessary since the CC does not provide the flexibility of having an optionally configured
mechanism. As such, FTA_MCS_EXP.1 should be considered as an alternate version of FTA_MCS.1 that shares the
same requirement class and family as well as dependencies. FTA_TSE_EXP.1 is similar to the CC Part 2
FTA_TSE.1 requirement; except that it only requires tha the TOE must support a session establishment limitation in
41
Security Target Version 1.0, 02/08/05
42
a specific manner as opposed to actually limiting session establishment based on the corresponding attribute. The
idea is that the TOE implements a function that can be used to support that actual limitation imposed by the IT
environment. This explicit requirement is necessary since the CC does not generally provide requirements about
supporting requirements such as this. Given the similarity to FTA_TSE.1, FTA_TSE_EXP.1 should be considered
to share the same requirement class and family as well as dependencies of FTA_TSE.1.
8.7 TOE Summary Specification Rationale
Each subsection in Section 6, the TOE Summary Specification, describes a security function of the TOE. Each
description is followed with rationale that indicates which requirements are satisfied by aspects of the corresponding
security function. The set of security functions work together to satisfy all of the security functions and assurance
requirements. Furthermore, all of the security functions are necessary in order for the TSF to provide the required
security functionality.
This Section in conjunction with Section 6, the TOE Summary Specification, provides evidence that the security
functions are suitable to meet the TOE security requirements. The collection of security functions work together to
provide all of the security requirements. The security functions described in the TOE summary specification are all
necessary for the required security functionality in the TSF. Table 7 Security Functions vs. Requirements
Mapping demonstrates the relationship between security requirements and security functions.
