Under this NSCIB, TrustCB 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 TrustCB 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 TrustCB 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, TrustCB 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, 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.

Page: 6/12 of report number: NSCIB-CC-2400069-01-CR, dated 28 November 2025 ### 2 Certification Results ## 2.1 Identification of Target of Evaluation The Target of Evaluation (TOE) for this evaluation is the Huawei NetEngine 8000&8800 Series Routers' Software V800R023C10SPC500 from Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd located in Shenzhen, People's Republic of China. The TOE is comprised of the following main components: | Delivery item type | Identifier | Version | |----------------------|----------------------------------------------|-------------------| | Software | NetEngine8000- F8_V800R023C10SPC500.cc | V800R023C10SPC500 | | | NetEngine8000-Series- X_V800R023C10SPC500.cc | V800R023C10SPC500 | To ensure secure usage a set of guidance documents is provided, together with the Huawei NetEngine 8000&8800 Series Routers' Software V800R023C10SPC500. For details, see section 2.5 ' Documentation ' of this report. ## 2.2 Security Policy To counter the security threats listed in the [ST], the TOE provides the following security features: - Security Audit: - o 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. - Cryptographic support: - o The TOE provides cryptography in support of secure connections that includes remote administrative management. - Identification and authentication: - o 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 configured by administrator according to networking environment, customized security considerations, differential user role on TOE, and/or other operational concerns. - Secure Management: - o The TOE restricts the ability to determine the behaviour of and modify the behaviour of the function's transmission of audit data to the security administrator. Only the security administrator can manage the cryptographic keys. Only the security administrator has the right of opening/closing the security services and creation/deletion/modification of the user accounts. - Protection of the TSF: - o 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. The TOE also obtains reliable timestamps from an external NTP server and performs self-test for integrity of the software and the cryptographic functions upon each boot. ® TrustCB is a registered trademark.

Page: 7/12 of report number: NSCIB-CC-2400069-01-CR, dated 28 November 2025 - TOE Access through user authentication: - o To protect the TOE from eavesdrop and to ensure data transmission security and confidentiality, SSH implements: - Authentication by password or by public-key; - AES encryption algorithms; - Secure cryptographic key exchange; - Trusted path and channels for device authentication - o The TOE supports the trusted connections using TLS for the communication with the audit(syslog) server, SSH Client. - Trusted updates: - o The TOE supports installation of software updates by administrators after a successful verification of their authenticity using secure and strong cryptographic algorithms based on digital signatures. ## 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. For detailed information on the security objectives that must be fulfilled by the TOE environment, see 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. ## 2.4 Architectural Information The TOE scope consists of the software running in the router device including VRP software and OS. The hardware is out of TOE scope. The underlying OS on which the VRP software is a Linux kernel based operating system. The OS provides basic services including memory management, scheduling management, file management, and device management. The VRP software is a network operating platform, which has a distributed, multi-process, and component-based architecture. It builds upon the hardware development trend and will meet carriers' exploding service requirements. The VRP software is responsible for functional management, routing information generation, receiving generated routing information and formatting them into hardware-specific data to direct traffic forwarding. The diagram below describes which modules of the VRP software are part of the TSF and which ones are not. Only the part of the TOE highlighted in green is included in the TSF. ® TrustCB is a registered trademark. Any use or application requires prior approval.

The test cases were categorised based on SFR classes. The test cases were divided into seven areas These test cases covered all TSFI's and all subsystems and subsystem interactions. As all SFRs were tested, the complete TSF was tested. For the testing performed by the evaluators, a selection of the developer tests were repeated, as well as a number of test cases designed by the evaluator. ### 2.6.2 Independent penetration testing To identify potential vulnerabilities the evaluator performed the following activities: - SFR design analysis: Based on the information obtained in the evaluation evidence, the SFR implementation details were examined. The aspects described in CEM annex B were considered. During this examination several potential vulnerabilities were identified. - Additional security analysis: When the implementation of the SFR was understood, a coverage check was performed on the relevant aspects of all SFRs. This expanded the list of potential vulnerabilities. - Scanning the TOE using the applicable vulnerability scanning tools (e.g., NMAP, NESSUS) to collect information about the TOE and identify potential vulnerabilities. - Public vulnerability search: The evaluator performed public domain vulnerability search based on the TOE name, TOE type, and identified 3rd party security relevant libraries and/or services. Several additional potential vulnerabilities were identified during a search in the public domain. - The potential vulnerabilities identified were analysed, and some of the potential vulnerabilities were concluded not exploitable within in the attack potential, or covered by guidance. For remaining potential vulnerabilities, penetration tests were devised. The total test effort expended by the evaluators was 4 weeks. During that test campaign, 100% of the total time was spent on logical tests. ### 2.6.3 Test configuration The configuration of the sample used for independent evaluator testing and penetration testing was the same as described in the [ST] . ® TrustCB is a registered trademark. Any use or application requires prior approval. Page: 10/12 of report number: NSCIB-CC-2400069-01-CR, dated 28 November 2025 Two of the possible four combinations of non-TOE hardware were used for Evaluator testing. Argumentation for the non-impacting nature of the different hardware models was examined by the Evaluator and accepted. ### 2.6.4 Test 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. The algorithmic security level of cryptographic functionality has not been rated in this certification process, but the current consensus on the algorithmic security level in the open domain, i.e., from the current best cryptanalytic attacks published, has been taken into account. ## 2.7 Reused Evaluation Results There has been extensive reuse of the ALC aspects for the sites involved in the development and production of the TOE, by use of 2 Site Technical Audit Reports. ## 2.8 Evaluated Configuration The TOE is defined uniquely by its name and version number Huawei NetEngine 8000&8800 Series Routers' Software V800R023C10SPC500. ## 2.9 Evaluation Results The evaluation lab documented their evaluation results in the [ETR] , which references an ASE Intermediate Report and other evaluator documents, and Site Technical Audit Report(s) for the site(s) [STAR] 2 . The verdict of each claimed assurance requirement is ' Pass '. Based on the above evaluation results the evaluation lab concluded the Huawei NetEngine 8000&8800 Series Routers' Software V800R023C10SPC500, to be CC Part 2 extended, CC Part 3 conformant and to meet the requirements of EAL 4 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 ' Documentation ' contains necessary information about the usage of the TOE. Certain aspects of the TOE's security functionality, in particular the countermeasures against attacks, depend on accurate conformance to the user guidance of both the software and the hardware part of the TOE. There are no particular obligations or recommendations for the user apart from following the user guidance. Please note that the documents contain relevant details concerning the resistance against certain attacks. In addition, all aspects of assumptions, threats and policies as outlined in the Security Target not covered by the TOE itself must 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. For the evolution of attack methods and techniques to be covered, the customer 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. 2 The Site Technical Audit Report contains information necessary to an evaluation lab and certification body for the reuse of the site audit report in a TOE evaluation.
