Protection Profile: collaborative Protection Profile for Network Devices (v2.1), 24 September 2018.
Evaluation Level: Common Criteria v3.1 R5 (assurance packages according to the [cPP_ND_21]).
SECURITY POLICIES
The use of the product Huawei NE40E&NetEngine 8000 Series Routers running VRP software
V800R012C00SPC300 shall implement a set of security policies assuring the fulfilment of different
standards and security demands.
The detail of these policies is documented in the Security Target, section 3.3 (“Organizational
Security Policies”).
ASSUMPTIONS AND OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
The following assumptions are constraints to the conditions used to assure the security properties
and functionalities compiled by the security target. These assumptions have been applied during
the evaluation in order to determine if the identified vulnerabilities can be exploited.
In order to assure the secure use of the TOE, it is necessary to start from these assumptions for its
operational environment. If this is not possible and any of them could not be assumed, it would not
be possible to assure the secure operation of the TOE.
The detail of these assumptions is documented in the Security Target, section 3.2 (“Assumptions”).
CLARIFICATIONS ON NON-COVERED THREATS
The following threats do not suppose a risk for the product Huawei NE40E&NetEngine 8000 Series
Routers running VRP software V800R012C00SPC300, although the agents implementing attacks
have the attack potential according to the Basic of the [cPP_ND_21] and always fulfilling the usage
assumptions and the proper security policies satisfaction.
For any other threat not included in this list, the evaluation results of the product security
properties and the associated certificate, do not guarantee any resistance.
The threats covered by the security properties of the TOE are those defined in the Security Target,
section 3.1 (“Threats”).
OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FUNCTIONALITY
The product requires the cooperation from its operational environment to fulfil some of the
objectives of the defined security problem.
The security objectives declared for the TOE operational environment are those defined in the
Protection Profile and they are documented in the Security Target, section 4.1 (“Security Objectives
for the operational Environment”).

ARCHITECTURE
LOGICAL ARCHITECTURE
The TOE is comprised of several security features. Each of the security features identified above
consists of several security functionalities, as identified below.
 Security audit
The log module of the host software records operations on a device and events that occur
to a device. The recorded operations and events are log messages. Log messages provide
evidence for diagnosing and maintaining a system. Log messages reflect the operating status
of a device and are used to analyze the conditions of a network and to find out the causes of
network failure or faults.
 Cryptography support
The TOE provides cryptography in support of secure connections that includes remote
administrative management.
 Identification and authentication
The authentication functionality provides validation by user’s account name and password.
Public key authentication is supported for SSH users. Detailed functionalities, for example
max idle-timeout period, max log-in attempts, UI lock, user kick out, can be applies by
administrator according to networking environment, customized security considerations,
differential user role on TOE, and/or other operational concerns.
 Secure Management
The TOE restricts the ability to determine the behavior of and modify the behavior of the
functions transmission of audit data to the security administrator. Only the security
administrator can manage the cryptographic keys. Protection of the TSF
The TOE protects the pre-shared keys, symmetric keys, and private keys from reading them
by an unauthorized entity. The TOE stores the users or administrator passwords in non-
plaintext form preventing them from reading. The TOE verifies the packet before their
installation and uses the digital signature.
 TOE access through user authentication
The TOE provides communication security by implementing SSH protocol.
 Trusted path and channels for device authentication
The TOE supports the trusted connections using TLS for the communication with the audit
server.

RECOGNITION AGREEMENTS
In order to avoid multiple certification of the same product in different countries a mutual
recognition of IT security certificates - as far as such certificates are based on ITSEC or CC - under
certain conditions was agreed.
European Recognition of ITSEC/CC – Certificates (SOGIS-MRA)
The SOGIS-Mutual Recognition Agreement (SOGIS-MRA) Version 3 became effective in April 2010. It
defines the recognition of certificates for IT-Products at a basic recognition level and, in addition, at
higher recognition levels for IT-Products related to certain SOGIS Technical Domains only.
The basic recognition level includes Common Criteria (CC) Evaluation Assurance Levels EAL 1 to EAL
4 and ITSEC Evaluation Assurance Levels E1 to E3 (basic). For "Smartcards and similar devices" a
SOGIS Technical Domain is in place. For "HW Devices with Security Boxes" a SOGIS Technical
Domains is in place, too. In addition, certificates issued for Protection Profiles based on Common
Criteria are part of the recognition agreement.
The new agreement has been signed by the national bodies of Austria, Finland, France, Germany,
Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The current list of
signatory nations and approved certification schemes, details on recognition, and the history of the
agreement can be seen on the website at https://www.sogis.eu.
The SOGIS-MRA logo printed on the certificate indicates that it is recognised under the terms of this
agreement by the nations listed above.
The certificate of this TOE is recognized under SOGIS-MRA for all assurance components selected.
International Recognition of CC – Certificates (CCRA)
The international arrangement on the mutual recognition of certificates based on the CC (Common
Criteria Recognition Arrangement, CCRA-2014) has been ratified on 08 September 2014. It covers
CC certificates based on collaborative Protection Profiles (cPP) (exact use), CC certificates based on
assurance components up to and including EAL 2 or the assurance family Flaw Remediation
(ALC_FLR) and CC certificates for Protection Profiles and for collaborative Protection Profiles (cPP).
The CCRA-2014 replaces the old CCRA signed in May 2000 (CCRA-2000). Certificates based on CCRA-
2000, issued before 08 September 2014 are still under recognition according to the rules of CCRA-
2000. For on 08 September 2014 ongoing certification procedures and for Assurance Continuity
(maintenance and re-certification) of old certificates a transition period on the recognition of
certificates according to the rules of CCRA-2000 (i.e. assurance components up to and including EAL
4 or the assurance family Flaw Remediation (ALC_FLR)) is defined until 08 September 2017.
14/14
https://oc.ccn.cni.es
organismo.certificacion@cni.es
As of September 2014 the signatories of the new CCRA-2014 are government representatives from
the following nations: Australia, Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, The Netherlands, New Zealand,
Norway, Pakistan, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the
United States.
The current list of signatory nations and approved certification schemes can be seen on the
website: http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org.
The Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement logo printed on the certificate indicates that this
certification is recognised under the terms of this agreement by the nations listed above.
The certificate of this TOE is recognized under CCRA for all assurance components selected.
