CC - under certain conditions was agreed.
2.1 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 technical
domains only.
The basic recognition level includes Common Criteria (CC) Evaluation Assurance Levels
EAL1 to EAL4 and ITSEC Evaluation Assurance Levels E1 to E3 (basic). For higher
recognition levels the technical domain Smart card and similar Devices has been defined.

1 Executive Summary
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) is the NXP P5CD080V0B/ V0B(s) Secure Smart Card
Controller. The TOE is the hardware of the microcontroller chip P5CD080V0B/ V0B(s)
(short name of the TOE) of the Smart Card Controller IC family produced by NXP. The
TOE includes also IC Dedicated Test Software for test purposes and IC Dedicated Support
Software, both stored in the Test-ROM of the microcontroller. The Smart Card Controller
hardware comprises an 8-bit processing unit, volatile and non-volatile memories
accessible via a memory management unit, cryptographic co-processors, security
components and three communication interfaces.
The TOE includes a Data Sheet [12], a document describing the Instruction Set [15] and
the Guidance Document [11]. This documentation contains a description of the
architecture, the secure configuration, and usage of the hardware platform by the
Smartcard Embedded Software.
The security measures of the P5CD080V0B/ V0B(s) are designed to act as an integral part
of the complete security system in order to strengthen the design as a whole. Several
security measures are completely implemented in and controlled by the hardware. Other
security measures are controlled by the hardware and allow a configuration by software or
software guided exceptions. With the different CPU modes and the memory management
unit the TOE is intended to support multi-application projects.
The non-volatile EEPROM can be used as data or program memory. It contains high
reliability cells which guarantee data integrity. This is ideal for applications requiring
non-volatile data storage and important for the use as memory for native programs.
Security Functions protect data in the on-chip ROM, EEPROM and RAM. In particular
when being used in the banking and finance market or in electronic commerce applications
the smartcard must provide high security.
Hence the TOE shall
● maintain the integrity and the confidentiality of code and data stored in the memories of
it and
● maintain the different CPU modes with the related capabilities for configuration and
memory access and
● maintain the integrity, the correct operation and the confidentiality of Security Functions
(security mechanisms and associated functions) provided by the TOE.
These features are ensured by the construction of the TOE and the Security Functions it
provides. The NXP P5CD080V0B/ V0B(s) Secure Smart Card Controller mainly provides a
hardware platform for a smartcard with
● functions to calculate the Data Encryption Standard (Triple-DES) with up to three keys,
● functions to calculate the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with different key
lengths,
● support for large integer arithmetic (multiplication, addition and logical) operations,
suited for public key cryptography and elliptic curve cryptography,
● a random number generator,
● memory management control features,
12 / 39
BSI-DSZ-CC-0700-V2-2013 Certification Report
● cyclic redundancy check calculation (CRC),
● ISO 7816 contact interface with UART,
● contact-less interface supporting MIFARE and ISO 14443A or S²C interface.
In addition several security features independently implemented in hardware or controlled
by software will be provided to ensure proper operation as well as integrity and
confidentiality of stored data. This includes for example measures for memory protection
and sensors to allow operation only under specified conditions.
Please note that the arithmetic co-processor for large integer arithmetic operations is
intended to be used for the calculation of asymmetric cryptographic algorithms. Any
asymmetric cryptographic algorithm needs to be implemented in software by using the
calculation functions provided by the co-processor. Therefore the co-processor without
software does not provide a Security Function itself e.g. cryptographic support. This
means that Smartcard Embedded Software that implements e.g. the RSA cryptographic
algorithm is not included in the evaluation. Nevertheless the co-processor is part of the
Smartcard IC and therefore a security relevant component of the TOE that must resist to
the attacks mentioned in the Security Target and that must operate correctly as specified in
the Data Sheet. The same scope for the evaluation is applied to the CRC module.
The Security Target [6] and [7] is the basis for this certification. It is based on the certified
Protection Profile Smartcard IC Platform Protection Profile, Version 1.0, July 2001,
BSI-PP-0002-2001 [9].
The TOE Security Assurance Requirements (SAR) are based entirely on the assurance
components defined in Part 3 of the Common Criteria (see part C or [1], Part 3 for details).
The TOE meets the Assurance Requirements of the Evaluation Assurance Level EAL 5
augmented by ALC_DVS.2, AVA_MSU.3 and AVA_VLA.4.
The TOE Security Functional Requirements (SFR) relevant for the TOE are outlined in the
Security Target [6] and [7], chapter 5.1.1. They are selected from Common Criteria Part 2
and some of them are newly defined in the Protection Profile [9]. Thus the TOE is CC Part
2 extended.
The Security Functional Requirements (SFR) relevant for the IT-Environment of the TOE
are outlined in the Security Target [6] and [7], chapter 5.2.1.
The TOE Security Functional Requirements are implemented by the following TOE
Security Functions:
TOE Security Function Addressed issue
F.RNG Random Number Generator
F.HW_DES Triple-DES Co-Processor
F.HW_AES AES Co-Processor
F.OPC Control of Operating Conditions
F.PHY Protection against Physical Manipulation
F.LOG Logical Protection
F.COMP Protection of Mode Control
F.MEM_ACC Memory Access Control
F.SFR_ACC Special Function Register Access Control

For more details please refer to the Security Target [6] and [7], chapter 6.
The claimed TOE’s Strength of Functions 'High' (SOF-High) for specific functions as
indicated in the Security Target [6] and [7], chapter 6.1 is confirmed. The rating of the
Strength of Functions does not include the cryptoalgorithms suitable for encryption and
decryption (see BSIG Section 9, Para. 4, Clause 2). For details see chapter 9 of this
report.
The assets to be protected by the TOE are defined in the Security Target [6] and [7],
chapter 3.1. Based on these assets the TOE Security Environment is defined in terms of
Assumptions, Threats and Organisational Security Policies. This is outlined in the Security
Target [6] and [7], chapter 3.2 to 3.4.
The certification results only apply to the version of the product indicated in the certificate
and on the condition that all the stipulations are kept as detailed in this Certification
Report. This certificate is not an endorsement of the IT product by the Federal Office for
Information Security (BSI) or any other organisation that recognises or gives effect to this
certificate, and no warranty of the IT product by BSI or any other organisation that
recognises or gives effect to this certificate, is either expressed or implied.

P5CC080V0B/ P5CC073V0B/ V0B(s) and its specific GDS-file. A so-called nameplate
(on-chip identifier) is coded in a metal mask onto the chip during production and can be
checked by the customer, too. The nameplate T035B is specific for the SSMC (Singapore)
production site whereas the products from Globalfoundries are labelled with “s035B” as
outlined in the guidance documentation [11]. This nameplate identifies Version V0B of the
hardware, but does not identify the possible TOE configurations. For identification of a
specific configuration, the Device Coding Bytes stored in the EEPROM can be used (see
Data Sheet [12]).

Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0700-V2-2013
3 Security Policy
The security policy of the TOE is to provide basic Security Functions to be used by the
smartcard operating system and the smartcard application thus providing an overall
smartcard system security. Therefore, the TOE will implement symmetric cryptographic
block cipher algorithms (Triple-DES, AES) to ensure the confidentiality of plain text data by
encryption and to support secure authentication protocols and it will provide a random
number generation of appropriate quality.
As the TOE is a hardware platform, the security policy of the TOE provides protection
against leakage of information (e.g. to ensure the confidentiality of cryptographic keys
during cryptographic functions performed by the TOE), protection against physical probing,
malfunctions, physical manipulations, against access to code and data stored in the
memories and against abuse of functionality. Hence the TOE shall:
● maintain the integrity and the confidentiality of data stored in the memory of the TOE
and
● maintain the integrity, the correct operation and the confidentiality of Security Functions
(security mechanisms and associated functions) provided by the TOE.
4 Assumptions and Clarification of Scope
The smartcard operating system and the application software stored in the User ROM and
in the EEPROM are not part of the TOE. The code in the Test ROM of the TOE (IC
Dedicated Software) is used by the manufacturer of the smartcard to check the
functionality of the hardware platform before TOE Delivery. This was considered as part of
the evaluation under the CC assurance aspects ALC for relevant procedures and under
ATE for testing.
The TOE is delivered as a hardware unit at the end of the hardware platform
manufacturing process (phase 3 of the life cycle defined) or at the end of the IC packaging
into modules (phase 4 of the life cycle defined). At these specific points in time the ROM
part of the operating system software is already stored in the ROM of the hardware
platform and the test mode is completely disabled.
The smartcard applications need the Security Functions of the smartcard operating system
based on the security features of the TOE. With respect to security the composition of this
TOE, the operating system and the smartcard application is important. Within this
composition, the Security Functionality is only partly provided by the TOE and causes
dependencies between the TOE Security Functions and the functions provided by the
operating system or the smartcard application on top. These dependencies are expressed
by environmental and secure usage assumptions as outlined in the user documentation.
Within this evaluation of the TOE, several aspects were specifically considered to support
a composite evaluation of the TOE together with an embedded smartcard software (i.e.
smartcard operating system and application). This was necessary as NXP Semiconductors
Germany GmbH, Business Line Identification is the TOE developer and manufacturer and
responsible for specific aspects of handling the embedded smartcard application software
in its development and production environment. For those aspects refer to chapter 9 of this
report.
The full evaluation results are applicable for chips produced at the IC fabrication SSMC in
Singapore (indicated by the nameplate T035B) and Globalfoundries (indicated by the
nameplate s035B).

5 Architectural Information
The NXP BU ID P5CD080V0B/ V0B(s) smartcard controller is an integrated circuit (IC)
providing a hardware platform to a smartcard operating system and Smartcard Embedded
Software. A top level block diagram and a list of subsystems can be found within the TOE
description of the “Security Target”, [6]. The complete hardware description and the
complete instruction set of the NXP BU ID P5CD080V0B/ V0B(s) smartcard controller can
be found in the “Data Sheet, P5Cx012/02x/040/073/080/144 family”, [12] and “Instruction
Set”, [15].
For the implementation of the TOE Security Functions basically the components 8-bit
CPU, Special Function Registers, Triple-DES Co-Processor, AES co-processor, FameXE
Co-Processor, Random Number Generator (RNG), Power Module with Security Sensors
and Filters are used. The CPU is equipped with a Memory Management Unit and provides
different CPU Modes in order to separate different applications running on the TOE.
Security measures for Physical Protection are realized within the layout of the whole
circuitry.
The Special Function Registers provide the interface to the security functions of the TOE
when they can be configured or used by the smartcard operating system and the
Smartcard Embedded Software. The P5CD080V0B/ V0B(s) provides different levels of
access control to the SFR with the different CPU Modes and additional – configurable –
access control to Special Function Registers in the least-privileged CPU Mode, the User
Mode.
The FameXE does not provide a cryptographic algorithm itself. The modular arithmetic
functions are suitable to implement different asymmetric cryptographic algorithms.
The TOE executes the IC Dedicated Support Software (Boot Software) during the start up
to configure and initialise the hardware. This software is executed in the Boot Mode that is
not accessible after the start up is finished.
The Mifare Operating System supports the functions to exchange data in the contact-less
mode with other Mifare components. The Mifare Operating System is executed in the
Mifare Mode to ensure a strict separation between IC Dedicated Support Software and
Smartcard Embedded Software. Based on the partitioning of the memories the Mifare
Operating System is not able to access the Smartcard Embedded Software and the data
stored in the EEPROM area that is not reserved for the Mifare Operating System. In the
same way the access to the program and the data of the Mifare Operating System is
denied for the Smartcard Embedded Software. A limited memory area for the data
exchange (between Smartcard Embedded Software and Mifare Operating System) and
the access to components of the hardware (by the Mifare Operating System) must be
configured by the Smartcard Embedded Software.
6 Documentation
The evaluated documentation as outlined in table 2 is being provided with the product to
the customer. This documentation contains the required information for secure usage of
the TOE in accordance with the Security Target.
Additional obligations and notes for secure usage of the TOE as outlined in chapter 10 of

7 IT Product Testing
The tests performed by the developer can be divided into the following categories:
1. technology development tests as the earliest tests to check the technology against the
specification and to get the technology parameters used in simulations of the circuitry
(this testing is not strictly related to Security Functions);
2. tests which are performed in a simulation environment with different tools for the
analogue circuitries and for the digital parts of the TOE;
3. regression tests of the hardware within a simulation environment based on special
software dedicated only for the regression tests;
4. regression tests which are performed for the IC Dedicated Test Software and for the IC
Dedicated Support Software on emulator versions of the TOE and within a software
simulation of chip in special hardware;
5. characterisation and verification tests to release the TOE to production:
● used to determine the behaviour of the hardware platform with respect to
different operating conditions and varied process parameters (often also referred
to as characterisation tests)
● special verification tests for the Security Functions which were done with
samples of the TOE (referred also as developers security evaluation) and which
include also layout tests by automatic means and optical control, in order to
verify statements concerning the layout;
6. functional production tests, which are done for every chip to check its correct
functionality as a last step of the production process (phase 3).
The developer tests cover all Security Functions and all security mechanisms as identified
in the functional specification, and in the high and low level designs.
The evaluators were able to repeat the tests of the developer either using the library of
programs, tools and prepared chip samples delivered to the evaluator or at the developers
site. They performed independent tests to supplement, augment and to verify the tests
performed by the developer. The tests of the developer are repeated by sampling, by
repetition of complete regression tests and by software routines developed by the
evaluators and computed on samples with evaluation operating system. For the developer
tests repeated by the evaluators other test parameters are used and the test equipment
was varied. Security features of the TOE realised by specific design and layout measures
were checked by the evaluators during layout inspections both in design data and on the
final product.
The evaluation provides evidence that the actual version of the TOE (refer to chapter 2
and section 3.2 for details on the TOE configuration) provides the Security Functions as
specified by the developer. The test results confirm the correct implementation of the TOE
Security Functions.
For penetration testing the evaluators took all Security Functions into consideration.
Intensive penetration testing was planned based on the analysis results and performed for
the underlying mechanisms of Security Functions using bespoke equipment and expert
know how. The penetration tests considered both the physical tampering of the TOE and
attacks which do not modify the TOE physically.

8 Evaluated Configuration
The TOE can be delivered in different configurations. This influences the availability of the
contact-less interface (including the functions provided by the MIFARE Operating System)
and other not security relevant features.
The results of this evaluation are valid for the major product configurations called
P5CD080V0B/ P5CN080V0B/ P5CC080V0B/ P5CC073V0B/ V0B(s). The following table
provides an overview of the differences between the P5CD080V0B/ V0B(s) and its major
configurations (see also ST [6] and [7], chapter 2.2.1 to 2.2.4):
TOE contact-less interface
I/O Pads for
ISO 7816
EEPROM size
in kByte
P5CD080V0B/ V0B(s) enabled, configured for ISO 14443A 3 80
P5CN080V0B/ V0B(s) enabled, configured for NFC 2 80
P5CC080V0B/ V0B(s) disabled 3 80
P5CC073V0B/ V0B(s) disabled 3 Reduced to 72
Table 4: Major configurations of the TOE
For identification of a specific configuration, the Device Coding Bytes stored in the
EEPROM can be used (see Data Sheet [12]). The TOE is identified by the nameplate
(T035B for SSMC, s035B for Globalfoundries) and specific EEPROM coding.
All TSF are active and usable. Information on how to use the TOE and its Security
Functions by the software is provided within the user documentation.
The different CPU modes are: Boot Mode, Test Mode, Mifare Mode, System Mode and
User Mode. For more details please refer to [6] and [7], chapter 2.1.1.
As the TOE operates after delivery in System Mode or User Mode and the application
software being executed on the TOE can not use the Test Mode, the evaluation was
mainly performed in the System Mode and User Mode. For all evaluation activities
performed in Test Mode, there was a rationale why the results are valid for the System
Mode and User Mode, too.
The commercial product name is the name that the customer of NXP BUID uses to order
the TOE in the respective package. Note that the commercial type names contain
placeholders for the customer specific parts (i.e. the Smartcard Embedded Software,
Fabkey, minor configuration options, etc.) of the TOE. A specification of the placeholders is
given by the developer in section 2.3 of the Security Target [6] and [7].
9 Results of the Evaluation
9.1 CC specific results
The Evaluation Technical Report (ETR) [8] was provided by the ITSEF according to the
Common Criteria [1], the Methodology [2], the requirements of the Scheme [3] and all
interpretations and guidelines of the Scheme (AIS) [4] as relevant for the TOE.
19 / 39
Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0700-V2-2013
The Evaluation Methodology CEM [2] was used for those components up to EAL4
extended by advice of the Certification Body for components beyond EAL 4 and guidance
specific for the technology of the product [4] (AIS 34).
The following guidance specific for the technology was used:
(i) The Application of CC to Integrated Circuits
(ii) Application of Attack Potential to Smartcards and
(iii) ETR for Composition and
(iv) ETR for Composition: Annex A Composite smartcard evaluation: Recommended
best practice
(see [4, AIS 25, AIS 26 and AIS 36]) and [4, AIS 31] (functionality classes and evaluation
methodology for physical random number generators) were used. The assurance
refinements outlined in the Security Target were followed in the course of the evaluation of
the TOE.
To support composite evaluations according to AIS 36 the document ETR for composite
evaluation [10] was provided and approved. This document provides details of this
platform evaluation that have to be considered in the course of a composite evaluation on
top.
As a result of the evaluation the verdict PASS is confirmed for the following assurance
components:
● All components of the class ASE
● All components of the EAL 5 package as defined in the CC (see also part C of this
report)
● The components ALC_DVS.2, AVA_MSU.3 and AVA_VLA.4 augmented for this TOE
evaluation.
As the evaluation work performed for this certification procedure was carried out as a
re-evaluation based on the certificate BSI-DSZ-CC-0700-2011, re-use of specific
evaluation tasks was possible. The focus of the re-evaluation was on the inclusion of an
additional production site and penetration testing.
The evaluation has confirmed:
● PP Conformance: Smartcard IC Platform Protection Profile, Version 1.0, July 2001,
BSI-PP-0002-2001 [9]
● for the Functionality: PP conformant plus product specific extensions
Common Criteria Part 2 extended
● for the Assurance: Common Criteria Part 3 conformant
EAL 5 augmented by ALC_DVS.2, AVA_MSU.3 and AVA_VLA.4
The following TOE Security Functions fulfil the claimed Strength of Function:
● F.RNG (random number generator), according to AIS 31 Functionality class P2 High,
F.LOG (Logical Protection) contributing to the leakage attacks especially for F.HW_DES
(Triple-DES Co-processor) and F.HW_AES (AES Co-processor) by SPA/DPA
countermeasures. The scheme interpretations AIS 26 and AIS 31 (see[4]) were used.
For specific evaluation results regarding the development and production environment see
annex B in part D of this report.
20 / 39
BSI-DSZ-CC-0700-V2-2013 Certification Report
The results of the evaluation are only applicable to the TOE as defined in chapter 2 and
the configuration as outlined in chapter 8 above.
9.2 Results of cryptographic assessment
The rating of the Strength of Functions does not include the cryptoalgorithms suitable for
encryption and decryption (see BSIG Section 9, Para. 4, Clause 2). This holds for:
F.HW_DES and F.HW_AES.
The strength of the cryptographic algorithms was not rated in the course of the product
certification (see BSIG Section 4, Para. 3, Clause 2). But cryptographic functionalities with
a security level of 80 bits or lower can no longer be regarded as secure against attacks
with high attack potential without considering the application context. Therefore for these
functions it shall be checked whether the related crypto operations are appropriate for the
intended system. Some further hints and guidelines can be derived from the 'Technische
Richtlinie BSI TR-02102' (www.bsi.bund.de).
The Cryptographic Functionalities: 2-key Triple DES (2TDES) provided by the TOE
achieves a security level of maximum 80 Bits (in general context).
10 Obligations and Notes for the Usage of the TOE
The operational documents as outlined in table 2 contain necessary information about the
usage of the TOE and all security hints therein have to be considered. 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.
Some security measures are partly implemented in the hardware and require additional
configuration or control or measures to be implemented by the IC Dedicated Support
Software or Embedded Software.
For this reason the TOE includes guidance documentation (see table 2) which contains
guidelines for the developer of the Embedded Software on how to securely use the
microcontroller chip and which measures have to be implemented in the software in order
to fulfil the security requirements of the Security Target of the TOE.
In the course of the evaluation of the composite product or system it must be examined if
the required measures have been correctly and effectively implemented by the software.
Additionally, the evaluation of the composite product or system must also consider the
evaluation results as outlined in the document ETR for composite evaluation [10].
In addition, the following aspects need to be fulfilled when using the TOE:
The guidance documentation [11], Data Sheet [12] and Instruction Set [15], contain all
necessary information about the usage of the TOE. NXP will also provide either the
Security Target [6] to customers or a “light” version of the Security Target [7], which omits
some technical details within the rational but contains the relevant information about the
TOE itself. This includes the assumptions about the environment and usage of the TOE
and the Security Functions provided by the TOE. Note that the light version of the ST is
conformant to [4, AIS 35].
21 / 39
Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0700-V2-2013
Further requirements are
● to follow the instructions in the user guidance documents,
● to ensure fulfilment of the assumptions about the environment in the Security Target,
and
● to follow the guidance of the order entry forms regarding wafer initialisation data.
Please note that the Mifare Operating System is included in the NXP specific part of the
ROM as part of the TOE (see table 2). Mifare configurations A, B1 and B4 are subject of
the certificate.

C Excerpts from the Criteria
CC Part1:
Conformance results (chapter 7.4)
“The conformance result indicates the source of the collection of requirements that is met
by a TOE or PP that passes its evaluation. This conformance result is presented with
respect to CC Part 2 (functional requirements), CC Part 3 (assurance requirements) and, if
applicable, to a pre-defined set of requirements (e.g., EAL, Protection Profile).
The conformance result consists of one of the following:
– CC Part 2 conformant - A PP or TOE is CC Part 2 conformant if the functional
requirements are based only upon functional components in CC Part 2.
– CC Part 2 extended - A PP or TOE is CC Part 2 extended if the functional
requirements include functional components not in CC Part 2.
plus one of the following:
– CC Part 3 conformant - A PP or TOE is CC Part 3 conformant if the assurance
requirements are based only upon assurance components in CC Part 3.
– CC Part 3 extended - A PP or TOE is CC Part 3 extended if the assurance
requirements include assurance requirements not in CC Part 3.
Additionally, the conformance result may include a statement made with respect to sets of
defined requirements, in which case it consists of one of the following:
– Package name Conformant - A PP or TOE is conformant to a pre-defined named
functional and/or assurance package (e.g. EAL) if the requirements (functions or
assurance) include all components in the packages listed as part of the conformance
result.
– Package name Augmented - A PP or TOE is an augmentation of a pre-defined named
functional and/or assurance package (e.g. EAL) if the requirements (functions or
assurance) are a proper superset of all components in the packages listed as part of
the conformance result.
Finally, the conformance result may also include a statement made with respect to
Protection Profiles, in which case it includes the following:
– PP Conformant - A TOE meets specific PP(s), which are listed as part of the
conformance result.“

Evaluation assurance levels (chapter 11)
“The Evaluation Assurance Levels (EALs) provide an increasing scale that balances the
level of assurance obtained with the cost and feasibility of acquiring that degree of
assurance. The CC approach identifies the separate concepts of assurance in a TOE at
the end of the evaluation, and of maintenance of that assurance during the operational use
of the TOE.
It is important to note that not all families and components from CC Part 3 are included in
the EALs. This is not to say that these do not provide meaningful and desirable
assurances. Instead, it is expected that these families and components will be considered
for augmentation of an EAL in those PPs and STs for which they provide utility.”
Evaluation assurance level (EAL) overview (chapter 11.1)
“Table 6 represents a summary of the EALs. The columns represent a hierarchically
ordered set of EALs, while the rows represent assurance families. Each number in the
resulting matrix identifies a specific assurance component where applicable.
As outlined in the next section, seven hierarchically ordered evaluation assurance levels
are defined in the CC for the rating of a TOE's assurance. They are hierarchically ordered
inasmuch as each EAL represents more assurance than all lower EALs. The increase in
assurance from EAL to EAL is accomplished by substitution of a hierarchically higher
assurance component from the same assurance family (i.e. increasing rigour, scope,
and/or depth) and from the addition of assurance components from other assurance
families (i.e. adding new requirements).
These EALs consist of an appropriate combination of assurance components as described
in chapter 7 of this Part 3. More precisely, each EAL includes no more than one
component of each assurance family and all assurance dependencies of every component
are addressed.
While the EALs are defined in the CC, it is possible to represent other combinations of
assurance. Specifically, the notion of “augmentation” allows the addition of assurance
components (from assurance families not already included in the EAL) or the substitution
of assurance components (with another hierarchically higher assurance component in the
same assurance family) to an EAL. Of the assurance constructs defined in the CC, only
EALs may be augmented. The notion of an “EAL minus a constituent assurance
component” is not recognised by the standard as a valid claim. Augmentation carries with
it the obligation on the part of the claimant to justify the utility and added value of the
added assurance component to the EAL. An EAL may also be extended with explicitly
stated assurance requirements.

Evaluation assurance level 1 (EAL1) - functionally tested (chapter 11.3)
“Objectives
EAL1 is applicable where some confidence in correct operation is required, but the threats
to security are not viewed as serious. It will be of value where independent assurance is
required to support the contention that due care has been exercised with respect to the
protection of personal or similar information.
EAL1 provides an evaluation of the TOE as made available to the customer, including
independent testing against a specification, and an examination of the guidance
documentation provided. It is intended that an EAL1 evaluation could be successfully
conducted without assistance from the developer of the TOE, and for minimal outlay.
An evaluation at this level should provide evidence that the TOE functions in a manner
consistent with its documentation, and that it provides useful protection against identified
threats.”
Evaluation assurance level 2 (EAL2) - structurally tested (chapter 11.4)
“Objectives
EAL2 requires the co-operation of the developer in terms of the delivery of design
information and test results, but should not demand more effort on the part of the
developer than is consistent with good commercial practice. As such it should not require a
substantially increased investment of cost or time.
EAL2 is therefore applicable in those circumstances where developers or users require a
low to moderate level of independently assured security in the absence of ready
availability of the complete development record. Such a situation may arise when securing
legacy systems, or where access to the developer may be limited.”
Evaluation assurance level 3 (EAL3) - methodically tested and checked
(chapter 11.5)
“Objectives
EAL3 permits a conscientious developer to gain maximum assurance from positive
security engineering at the design stage without substantial alteration of existing sound
development practices.
EAL3 is applicable in those circumstances where developers or users require a moderate
level of independently assured security, and require a thorough investigation of the TOE
and its development without substantial re-engineering.”

Evaluation assurance level 4 (EAL4) - methodically designed, tested, and reviewed
(chapter 11.6)
“Objectives
EAL4 permits a developer to gain maximum assurance from positive security engineering
based on good commercial development practices which, though rigorous, do not require
substantial specialist knowledge, skills, and other resources. EAL4 is the highest level at
which it is likely to be economically feasible to retrofit to an existing product line.
EAL4 is therefore applicable in those circumstances where developers or users require a
moderate to high level of independently assured security in conventional commodity TOEs
and are prepared to incur additional security-specific engineering costs.”
Evaluation assurance level 5 (EAL5) - semiformally designed and tested
(chapter 11.7)
“Objectives
EAL5 permits a developer to gain maximum assurance from security engineering based
upon rigorous commercial development practices supported by moderate application of
specialist security engineering techniques. Such a TOE will probably be designed and
developed with the intent of achieving EAL5 assurance. It is likely that the additional costs
attributable to the EAL5 requirements, relative to rigorous development without the
application of specialised techniques, will not be large.
EAL5 is therefore applicable in those circumstances where developers or users require a
high level of independently assured security in a planned development and require a
rigorous development approach without incurring unreasonable costs attributable to
specialist security engineering techniques.”
Evaluation assurance level 6 (EAL6) - semiformally verified design and tested
(chapter 11.8)
“Objectives
EAL6 permits developers to gain high assurance from application of security engineering
techniques to a rigorous development environment in order to produce a premium TOE for
protecting high value assets against significant risks.
EAL6 is therefore applicable to the development of security TOEs for application in high
risk situations where the value of the protected assets justifies the additional costs.”

Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0700-V2-2013
Evaluation assurance level 7 (EAL7) - formally verified design and tested
(chapter 11.9)
“Objectives
EAL7 is applicable to the development of security TOEs for application in extremely high
risk situations and/or where the high value of the assets justifies the higher costs. Practical
application of EAL7 is currently limited to TOEs with tightly focused security functionality
that is amenable to extensive formal analysis.“
Strength of TOE security functions (AVA_SOF) (chapter 19.3)
“Objectives
Even if a TOE security function cannot be bypassed, deactivated, or corrupted, it may still
be possible to defeat it because there is a vulnerability in the concept of its underlying
security mechanisms. For those functions a qualification of their security behaviour can be
made using the results of a quantitative or statistical analysis of the security behaviour of
these mechanisms and the effort required to overcome them. The qualification is made in
the form of a strength of TOE security function claim.”
Vulnerability analysis (AVA_VLA) (chapter 19.4)
"Objectives
Vulnerability analysis is an assessment to determine whether vulnerabilities identified,
during the evaluation of the construction and anticipated operation of the TOE or by other
methods (e.g. by flaw hypotheses), could allow users to violate the TSP.
Vulnerability analysis deals with the threats that a user will be able to discover flaws that
will allow unauthorised access to resources (e.g. data), allow the ability to interfere with or
alter the TSF, or interfere with the authorised capabilities of other users.”
"Application notes
A vulnerability analysis is performed by the developer in order to ascertain the presence of
security vulnerabilities, and should consider at least the contents of all the TOE
deliverables including the ST for the targeted evaluation assurance level. The developer is
required to document the disposition of identified vulnerabilities to allow the evaluator to
make use of that information if it is found useful as a support for the evaluator's
independent vulnerability analysis.”
“Independent vulnerability analysis goes beyond the vulnerabilities identified by the
developer. The main intent of the evaluator analysis is to determine that the TOE is
resistant to penetration attacks performed by an attacker possessing a low (for AVA_VLA.2
Independent vulnerability analysis), moderate (for AVA_VLA.3 Moderately resistant) or
high (for AVA_VLA.4 Highly resistant) attack potential.”
