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, 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
The presence of the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA) and the SOG-IS logos on the
certificate indicates that this certificate is issued in accordance with the provisions of the CCRA and
the SOG-IS Mutual Recognition Agreement (SOG-IS MRA) and will be recognised by the participating
nations.
International recognition
The CCRA was signed by the Netherlands in May 2000 and provides mutual recognition of certificates
based on the Common Criteria (CC). Since 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.
For details of the current list of signatory nations and approved certification schemes, see
http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org.
European recognition
The SOG-IS MRA Version 3, effective since April 2010, provides mutual recognition in Europe of
Common Criteria and ITSEC certificates at a basic evaluation level for all products. A higher
recognition level for evaluation levels beyond EAL4 (respectively E3-basic) is provided for products
related to specific technical domains. This agreement was signed initially by Finland, France,
Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Italy joined the SOG-IS
MRA in December 2010.
For details of the current list of signatory nations, approved certification schemes and the list of
technical domains for which the higher recognition applies, see https://www.sogis.eu.

1 Executive Summary
This Certification Report states the outcome of the Common Criteria security evaluation of the Crypto
Library V3.1.x on P6022y VB. The developer of the Crypto Library V3.1.x on P6022y VB is NXP
Semiconductors Germany GmbH located in Hamburg, Germany and they also act as the sponsor of
the evaluation and certification. A Certification Report is intended to assist prospective consumers
when judging the suitability of the IT security properties of the product for their particular requirements.
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) consists of the Crypto Library V3.1.x and the NXP Secure Smart Card
Controller P6022y VB Secure Smart Card Controller. For ease of reading the TOE is often called
“Crypto Library on SmartMX2”.
The Crypto Library on SmartMX2 is a cryptographic library, which provides a set of cryptographic
functions that can be used by the Smartcard Embedded Software. The cryptographic library consists
of several binary packages that are intended to be linked to the Smartcard Embedded Software. The
Smartcard Embedded Software developer links the binary packages that he needs to his Smartcard
Embedded Software and the whole is subsequently implemented in arbitrary memory. The NXP
SmartMX2 smart card processor provides the computing platform and cryptographic support by means
of co-processors for the Crypto Library on SmartMX2.
The TOE provides AES, DES, Triple-DES (3DES), RSA, RSA key generation, RSA public key
computation, ECDSA, ECC key generation, ECDH, ECC point addition, and SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-
256, SHA-384, SHA-512 algorithms.
In addition, the Crypto Library implements a software (pseudo) random number generator, which is
initialised (seeded) by the hardware random number generator of the SmartMX2.
Finally, the TOE provides a secure copy routine, a secure compare routine, a secure modular multiply
routine, a secure modular add and subtract routine, and includes internal security measures for
residual information protection. For more details refer to the [ST], chapter 1.3.2.
The TOE has been originally evaluated by Brightsight located in Delft, The Netherlands and was
certified on 28 July 2016, and re-certified on 17 November 2017, 29 May 2018, 7 January 2020 and 7
July 2021.This re-evaluation also took place by SGS Brightsight and was completed on 16 February
2023 with the approval of the ETR. The re-certification procedure has been conducted in accordance
with the provisions of the Netherlands Scheme for Certification in the Area of IT Security [NSCIB].
This sixth issue of the Certification Report is a result of a “recertification with major changes”. The
major change is the recertification of the underlying HW.
Note that in the second certification of this TOE, the ST was updated to remove all claims regarding
the security of ECC parameter verification. If the security of a composite or end product relies on this
functionality, appropriate evaluation of the security properties of this functionality is required.
Note that in the third certification of this TOE, the scope of the underlying platform certification was
updated: MIFARE is now out of all scopes, production sites were added and an additional variant was
included.
Note that in the fourth certification of this TOE, there were changes on the underlying platform
certification guidance and production sites and an additional variant, and subsequent recertification.
Note that in the fifth certification of this TOE, there were changes in some IT and Datacenter sites
which were removed from [ETRfC] as they were either already considered in the scope of the
hardware platform certification or no longer in use.
The security evaluation re-used the evaluation results of previously performed evaluations. A full, up to
date vulnerability analysis has been made, as well as renewed testing.
The scope of the evaluation is defined by the security target [ST], which identifies assumptions made
during the evaluation, the intended environment for the Crypto Library V3.1.x on P6022y VB, the
Note that in the [ST] the “Crypto Library V3.1.x” represents the Crypto Library V3.1.2.
In case of a composite evaluation the used minor version of the CL should be explicitly checked
and mentioned.

security requirements, and the level of confidence (evaluation assurance level) at which the product is
intended to satisfy the security requirements. Consumers of the Crypto Library V3.1.x on P6022y VB
are advised to verify that their own environment is consistent with the security target, and to give due
consideration to the comments, observations and recommendations in this certification report.
The results documented in the evaluation technical report [ETR] 1 for this product provide sufficient
evidence that the TOE meets the EAL6 augmented (EAL6+) assurance requirements for the evaluated
security functionality. This assurance level is augmented with ALC_FLR.1 (Basic flaw remediation)
and ASE_TSS.2 (TOE summary specification with architectural design summary).
The evaluation was conducted using the Common Methodology for Information Technology Security
Evaluation, Version 3.1 Revision 5 [CEM] for conformance to the Common Criteria for Information
Technology Security Evaluation, Version 3.1 Revision 5 [CC] (Parts I, II and III).
TÜV Rheinland Nederland B.V., as the NSCIB Certification Body, declares that the evaluation meets
all the conditions for international recognition of Common Criteria Certificates and that the product will
be listed on the NSCIB Certified Products list. Note that the certification results apply only to the
specific version of the product as evaluated.

2.2 Security Policy
The TOE provides the cryptographic algorithms AES, DES, Triple-DES (3DES), RSA, RSA key
generation, RSA public key computation, ECDSA (ECC over GF(p)) signature generation and
verification, ECDSA (ECC over GF(p)) key generation, ECDH (ECC Diffie-Hellmann key-exchange, full
point addition (ECC over GF(p)), standard security level SHA 1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-
512 algorithms in addition to the functionality described in the Hardware Security Target [ST-HW] for
the hardware platform. The cryptographic algorithms (except SHA) are resistant against Side Channel
Attacks, including Simple Power Analysis (SPA), Differential Power Analysis (DPA), Differential Fault
Analysis (DFA) and timing attacks. SHA is only resistant against Side Channel Attacks and timing
attacks. Details on the resistance claims are provided in the Security Target [ST], relevant details are
provided in the user guidance documents.
The TOE implements a software (pseudo) random number generator, which is initialised (seeded) by
the hardware random number generator of the SmartMX2.
The TOE also a secure copy routine, a secure compare routine, secure modular multiply routine, a
secure modular add and subtract routine and includes internal security measures for residual
information protection.
Note that the TOE does not restrict access to the functions provided by the hardware: these functions
are still directly accessible to the Smartcard embedded Software.
2.2.1 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.
2.3 Architectural Information
This chapter provides a high-level description of the IT product and its major components based on
the evaluation evidence described in the Common Criteria assurance family entitled “TOE design
(ADV_TDS)”. The intent of this chapter is to characterise the degree of architectural separation of the
major components and to show dependencies between the TOE and products using the TOE in a
composition (e.g. dependencies between HW and SW).
The TOE contains a Crypto Library, which provides a set of cryptographic functionalities that can be
used by the Smartcard Embedded Software. The Crypto Library consists of several binary packages
that are intended to be linked to the Smartcard Embedded Software. The Smartcard Embedded
Software developer links the binary packages that he needs to his Smartcard Embedded Software and
the whole is subsequently implemented in arbitrary memory. Please note that the crypto functions are
supplied as a library rather than as a monolithic program, and hence a user of the library may include
only those functions that are actually required. However, some dependencies exist; details are
described in the User Guidance.
The TOE is implemented as a set of subsystems. The division into subsystems is chosen according to
the cryptographic algorithms provided. The whole TOE provides AES, DES, Triple-DES (3DES), RSA,
RSA key generation, RSA public key computation, ECDSA (ECC over GF(p)) signature generation
and verification, ECDSA (ECC over GF(p)) signature generation and verification, ECDSA (ECC over
GF(p)) key generation, ECDH (ECC Diffie-Hellmann) key-exchange, full point addition (ECC over
GF(p), SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 algorithms in addition to the functionality
described in the Hardware Security Target [ST-HW] for the hardware platform. In addition, the TOE
implements a software (pseudo) random number generator, which is initialised (seeded) by the
hardware random number generator of the SmartMX2.
Finally, the TOE provides a secure copy routine, a secure compare routine, a secure modular multiply
routine, a secure modular add and subtract routine, and includes internal security measures for
residual information protection.

2.5 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.
2.5.1 Testing approach and depth
For the Crypto Library, the developer has performed extensive testing on FSP, subsystem and module
level. All parameter choices have been addressed at least once. All boundary cases identified have
been tested explicitly, and additionally the near-boundary conditions have been covered
probabilistically. The testing was largely automated using a test-OS that allows access to the
functionalities. Test scripts were extensively used to verify that the functions return the expected
values.
The hardware test results are extendable to composite evaluations on this hardware TOE, as the
hardware is operated according to its guidance and the composite evaluation requirements are met.
For the testing performed by the evaluators, the developer has provided a testing environment. The
evaluators have reproduced a selection of the developer tests, as well as a small number of test cases
designed by the evaluator.
2.5.2 Independent penetration testing
The evaluator independent penetration tests were conducted according to the following testing
approach:
1. Inventory of required resistance
This step uses the JIL attack list [JIL-AM] as a reference for completeness and studies the ST
claims to decide which attacks in the JIL attack list apply for the NXP Crypto Library. In addition,
both external ([BSI-RSA], [BSI-ECC]) and internal attack lists are used to augment the JIL attack
list.
2. Validation of security functionalities
This step identifies the implemented security functionalities and performs tests to verify
implementation and to validate proper functioning. (ATE)
3. Vulnerability analysis
This step first gives an overview against which attacks the implemented security functionalities are
meant to provide protection. Secondly in this step the design of the implemented security

functionalities is studied. Thirdly, an analysis is performed to determine whether the design
contains vulnerabilities against the respective attacks of step 1. (AVA)
4. Analysis of input from other evaluation activities
This step first analyses the input from other CC-evaluation classes expressed as possible
vulnerabilities. Secondly, the evaluators made an analysis of the TOE in its intended environment
to check whether the developer vulnerability analysis provides sufficient assurance or whether
penetration testing is needed to provide sufficient assurance. (AVA)
5. Design assurance evaluation
This step analyses the results from an attack perspective as defined in step 1. Based on this
design analysis the evaluators determine whether the design provides sufficient assurance or
whether penetration testing is needed to provide sufficient assurance. (AVA)
6. Penetration testing
This step performs the penetration tests identified in step 4 and step 5. (AVA)
7. Conclusions on resistance
This step performs a [JIL-AM] compliant rating on the results of the penetration tests in relation
with the assurance already gained by the design analysis. Based on the ratings the evaluators
draw conclusions on the resistance of NXP Crypto Library against attackers possessing a high
attack potential.
During this re-certification the vulnerability analysis was refreshed. As a result, some representative
tests were performed to provide ongoing assurance of penetration testing performed in earlier
evaluation of the TOE.
The total test effort expended by the evaluators during this recertification was 5 weeks. During that
test campaign, 17% of the total time was spent on Perturbation attacks and 83% on side-channel
testing.
2.5.3 Test configuration
Since the TOE is not an end-user product it is not possible to perform testing without first embedding it
in a testable configuration. To this end, the developer has created a proprietary test operating system.
The main purpose of the test OS is to provide access to the crypto library’s functionality. The test OS,
and its documentation, was provided to the evaluators, and was used in all the testing.
The following items were used to provide support during the tests:
• A set of card samples (the TOE) containing the following:
o Hardware sample: P6022P VB and P6021P VB in contact mode.
o Crypto library loaded into the hardware sample.
o CryptOS loaded into the hardware sample.
• A toolset provided by the developer in order to facilitate recreation of the Cryptographic library,
and loading the library and the CryptOS into samples.
• CryptOS documentation.
2.5.4 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.
Not all key sizes specified in the [ST] have sufficient cryptographic strength for satisfying the
AVA_VAN.5 “high attack potential”. The TOE supports a wider range of key sizes (see [ST]), including
those with sufficient algorithmic security level to exceed 100 bits as required for high attack potential
(AVA_VAN.5).
The strength of the implementation of the cryptographic functionality has been assessed in the
evaluation, as part of the AVA_VAN activities. These activities revealed that for some cryptographic
functionality the security level could be reduced from an algorithmic security level above 100 bits to a
practical remaining security level lower than 100 bits. The remaining security level still exceeds 80 bits,
so this is considered sufficient. Therefore, no exploitable vulnerabilities were found with the
independent penetration tests.
For composite evaluations, please consult the [ETRfC] for details.
2.6 Reused Evaluation Results
This is a re-certification. Documentary evaluation results of the earlier version of the TOE have been
re-used, but vulnerability analysis and penetration testing has been renewed.
There has been extensive reuse of the ALC aspects for the sites involved in the development and
production of the TOE, by use of 4 site certificates and 4 Site Technical Audit Reports.
No sites have been visited as part of this evaluation.
2.7 Evaluated Configuration
The TOE is defined uniquely by its name and version number Crypto Library V3.1.x on P6022y VB.
The TOE consists of a hardware part and a software part. This certification covers the configurations
of the TOE identified as follows:
• The authenticity of the hardware part of the TOE is checked following the guidance and
certification report of the hardware.
• The reference of the software part of the TOE is checked by calculating the SHA-256 hash
value of the delivered files and comparing them to reference values provided in the user
guidance.
2.8 Evaluation Results
The evaluation lab documented their evaluation results in the [ETR], which references an ASE
Intermediate Report and other evaluator documents. To support composite evaluations according to
[COMP] a derived document [ETRfC] was provided and approved. This document provides details of
the TOE evaluation that must be considered when this TOE is used as platform in a composite
evaluation.
The verdict of each claimed assurance requirement is “Pass”.
Based on the above evaluation results the evaluation lab concluded the Crypto Library V3.1.x on
P6022y VB, to be CC Part 2 extended, CC Part 3 conformant, and to meet the requirements of EAL
6 augmented with ASE_TSS.2 and ALC_FLR.1. This implies that the product satisfies the security
requirements specified in Security Target [ST].
The Security Target claims ’strict’ conformance to the Protection Profile [PP].

only those functions that are actually required. However, some dependencies exist; details are
described in the User Guidance.
The TOE is implemented as a set of subsystems. The division into subsystems is chosen according to
the cryptographic algorithms provided. The whole TOE provides AES, DES, Triple-DES (3DES), RSA,
RSA key generation, RSA public key computation, ECDSA (ECC over GF(p)) signature generation
and verification, ECDSA (ECC over GF(p)) signature generation and verification, ECDSA (ECC over
GF(p)) key generation, ECDH (ECC Diffie-Hellmann) key-exchange, full point addition (ECC over
GF(p), SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 algorithms in addition to the functionality
described in the Hardware Security Target [ST-HW] for the hardware platform. In addition, the TOE
implements a software (pseudo) random number generator, which is initialised (seeded) by the
hardware random number generator of the SmartMX2.
Finally, the TOE provides a secure copy routine, a secure compare routine, a secure modular multiply
routine, a secure modular add and subtract routine, and includes internal security measures for
residual information protection.
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 MIFARE (out of scope).
Not all key sizes specified in the [ST] have sufficient cryptographic strength to satisfy the AVA_VAN.5
“high attack potential”. To be protected against attackers with a "high attack potential", appropriate
cryptographic algorithms with sufficiently large cryptographic key sizes shall be used (references can
be found in national and international documents and standards).
