Foreword
The Netherlands Scheme for Certification in the Area of IT Security (NSCIB) provides a third-party
evaluation and certification service for determining the trustworthiness of Information Technology (IT)
security products. Under this NSCIB, TÜV Rheinland Nederland B.V. has the task of issuing
certificates for IT security products, as well as for protection profiles and sites.
Part of the procedure is the technical examination (evaluation) of the product, protection profile or site
according to the Common Criteria assessment guidelines published by the NSCIB. Evaluations are
performed by an IT Security Evaluation Facility (ITSEF) under the oversight of the NSCIB Certification
Body, which is operated by TÜV Rheinland Nederland B.V. in cooperation with the Ministry of the
Interior and Kingdom Relations.
An ITSEF in the Netherlands is a commercial facility that has been licensed by TÜV Rheinland
Nederland B.V. to perform Common Criteria evaluations; a significant requirement for such a licence is
accreditation to the requirements of ISO Standard 17025 “General requirements for the accreditation
of calibration and testing laboratories”.
By awarding a Common Criteria certificate, TÜV Rheinland Nederland B.V. asserts that the product or
site complies with the security requirements specified in the associated (site) security target, or that
the protection profile (PP) complies with the requirements for PP evaluation specified in the Common
Criteria for Information Security Evaluation. A (site) security target is a requirements specification
document that defines the scope of the evaluation activities.
The consumer should review the (site) security target or protection profile, in addition to this
certification report, in order to gain an understanding of any assumptions made during the evaluation,
the IT product's intended environment, its security requirements, and the level of confidence (i.e., the
evaluation assurance level) that the product or site satisfies the security requirements stated in the
(site) security target.

Recognition of the certificate
Presence of the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement and SOGIS logos on the certificate
indicates that this certificate is issued in accordance with the provisions of the CCRA and the SOGIS
agreement and will be recognised by the participating nations.
International recognition
The CCRA has been signed by the Netherlands in May 2000 and provides mutual recognition of
certificates based on the CC. Starting September 2014 the CCRA has been updated to provide mutual
recognition of certificates based on cPPs (exact use) or STs with evaluation assurance components
up to and including EAL2+ALC_FLR. The current list of signatory nations and approved certification
schemes can be found on: http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org.
European recognition
The European SOGIS-Mutual Recognition Agreement (SOGIS-MRA) version 3 effective from April
2010 provides mutual recognition of Common Criteria and ITSEC certificates at a basic evaluation
level for all products. A higher recognition level for evaluation levels beyond EAL4 (resp. E3-basic) is
provided for products related to specific technical domains. This agreement was initially signed by
Finland, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Italy
joined the SOGIS-MRA in December 2010. The current list of signatory nations, approved certification
schemes and the list of technical domains for which the higher recognition applies can be found on:

2.2 Security Policy
To counter the security threats listed in the [ST], the TOE provides the following security features:
• Identification and authentication of administrative users
o Users are identified by a username and authenticated by password piror to accessing
services of the TOE. The TOE is accessed via the web GUI of an Element Management
System (EMS). The TOE provides local authentication and remote authentication via
RADIUS.
• Authorization
o The TOE maintains mutiple administration roles. There are in total 4 hierarchical access
levels. Only authenticated users can execute commands of the TOE.
• Auditing
o The TOE generates audit records for security-relevant management actions. All audit
records contain not only the information on the event itself but also a timestamp and – if
applicable – additional information like user ID, source IP, etc. The TOE provides a
Syslog solution to resolve the problem of limited equipment storage space. Both security
logs and operation logs can be saved on an external Syslog server.
• Communication security
o The TOE provides communication security by implementing the TLS protocol. To protect
the TOE from eavesdrop and to ensure data transmission security and confidentiality,
TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 provide the following cipher-suites:
TLS1.2:
•TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 as defined in RFC
5289
•TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 as defined in RFC
5289
•TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 as defined in RFC
5289
•TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 as defined in RFC

o The TOE also provides an SFTP client for secure file downloading and uploading. Users
can use the SFTP client for fault collection, log uploading, and uploading and
downloading of a file and a database etc. SFTP provides:
Authentication of client by password or RSA public key;
AES encryption algorithms;
HMAC integrity verification algorithms;
Secure cryptographic key exchange.
• Management traffic flow control
o For administration of the TOE, network packages have to be sent to theTOE from the
management network. When a network packet reaches the TOE from the management
network, the TOE applies an information flow security policy in the form of Access Control
Lists (ACLs) to the traffic before processing it. Network packets on Layer 3 from the
management network arriving at a network interface of the TOE are checked to ensure
that they conform to the configured packet filter policy.
• Security functionality management
o The TOE provides the following management functionalities:
Management of user accounts and user attributes, including user credentials.
Management of authentication failure policy.
Access control management, including the association of users and
corresponding privileged functionalities.
Enabling/disabling trusted channels for local and remote access to the TOE’s.
management interfaces.
Management of ACLs and ACL attributes and parameters like IP addresses or
address ranges.
Configuration of network addresses for services used by the TOE, like NTP,
Syslog, RADIUS, SFTP.
Management of the TOE’s time.
All security management functions (i.e. commands related to security
management) require sufficient user level for execution.
2.3 Assumptions and Clarification of Scope
2.3.1 Assumptions
The assumptions defined in the Security Target are not covered by the TOE itself. These aspects lead
to specific Security Objectives to be fulfilled by the TOE-Environment. Detailed information on these
security objectives that must be fulfilled by the TOE environment can be found in section 4.2 of the
[ST].
2.3.2 Clarification of scope
The evaluation did not reveal any threats to the TOE that are not countered by the evaluated security
functions of the product

2.6 IT Product Testing
Testing (depth, coverage, functional tests, independent testing): The evaluators examined the
developer’s testing activities documentation and verified that the developer has met their testing
responsibilities.
2.6.1 Testing approach and depth
The developer focused on functional testing and manually tested all of the defined test cases. The
developer grouped the 29 executed test cases into the following logical security functions:
• Auditing
• Authorization
• Authentication
• Communication security
• Security Management
• Time
• Interface
Each defined test case was run independently. There was no sequence dependency between test
cases. The developer tested all the TSFIs. However, the developer focused more on the management
interface than the protocol interfaces (RADIUS, NTP, etc.).
The developer executed the TOE test plans on the following:
• The full test plan on OptiX OSN9800 M24 chassis with control board TNG3CXP.
• The full test plan on OptiXtrans E9624 chassis with control board TNG3CXP.
• The full test plan on OptiXtrans DC908 chassis with control board TMN1SCC.
These were representative sample configurations from each series of the available devices that the
TOE runs on. Differences between device configurations in each series were established as non-
security impacting.
The evaluator repeated 5 of the developer’s test cases to verify the results for test cases that tested
the management interface of the EMS for authorisation and authentication and secure communication.
In addition, the evaluator devised 12 independent-defined tests to further complement the coverage
and increase the depth.
2.6.2 Independent Penetration Testing
To identify potential vulnerabilities the evaluator performed the following activities:
• SFR analysis
o The evaluator applied their knowledge of attacks applicable to the TOE type.
• Public domain analysis
o The evaluator performed a public domain vulnerability search for TOE specific items
(TOE name, TOE-type, secure libraries, etc.)
o The evaluator used the websites provided by NSCIB as biases to perform the search.
• Network scanning tools
o The evaluator ran vulnerability-scanning tools to identify potential vulnerabilities.
The evaluator devised 7 penetration tests to verify that the TOE, in its operational environment, is
resistant to an attacker possessing a Basic attack potential.
2.6.3 Test Configuration
The test configuration was identical to that described in section 2.6.1.
2.6.4 Testing Results
The testing activities, including configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed
results are summarised in the [ETR], with references to the documents containing the full details.

The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests produced the expected results, giving
assurance that the TOE behaves as specified in its [ST] and functional specification.
No exploitable vulnerabilities were found with the independent penetration tests.
2.7 Re-used evaluation results
There is no re-use of evaluation results in this certification.
2.8 Evaluated Configuration
The TOE is defined uniquely by its name and version number Huawei OptiX OSN 9800&OptiXtrans
9600&OptiXtrans DC908 V100R019C10 Software Management Component Version
V100R019C10SPC600.
2.9 Results of the Evaluation
The evaluation lab documented their evaluation results in the [ETR], which references an ASE
Intermediate Report and other evaluator documents.
The verdict of each claimed assurance requirement is “Pass”.
Based on the above evaluation results the evaluation lab concluded the Huawei OptiX OSN
9800&OptiXtrans 9600&OptiXtrans DC908 V100R019C10 Software Management Component Version
V100R019C10SPC600, to be CC Part 2 extended, CC Part 3 conformant, and to meet the
requirements of EAL 3 augmented with ALC_FLR.2. This implies that the product satisfies the
security requirements specified in Security Target [ST].
2.10 Comments/Recommendations
The user guidance as outlined in section 2.5 contains necessary information about the usage of the
TOE.
In addition all aspects of assumptions, threats and policies as outlined in the Security Target not
covered by the TOE itself need to be fulfilled by the operational environment of the TOE.
The customer or user of the product shall consider the results of the certification within his system risk
management process. In order for the evolution of attack methods and techniques to be covered, he
should define the period of time until a re-assessment for the TOE is required and thus requested from
the sponsor of the certificate.
The strength of the cryptographic algorithms and protocols was not rated in the course of this
evaluation. This specifically applies to the following proprietary or non-standard algorithms, protocols
and implementations: None
