1 Executive Summary
This report documents the assessment of the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP)
validation team of the evaluation of SecuSUITE v5.0 and SteelBox v5.0 solution provided by
BlackBerry Ltd. It presents the evaluation results, their justifications, and the conformance results.
This Validation Report (VR) is not an endorsement of the Target of Evaluation (TOE) by any
agency of the U.S. government, and no warranty is either expressed or implied.
The evaluation was performed by the Gossamer Security Solutions (Gossamer) Common Criteria
Testing Laboratory (CCTL) in Columbia, MD, United States of America, and was completed in
December 2022. The information in this report is largely derived from the Evaluation Technical
Report (ETR) and associated test reports, all written by Gossamer Security Solutions. The
evaluation determined that the product is both Common Criteria Part 2 Extended and Part 3
Conformant, and meets the assurance requirements of the PP-Configuration for Application
Software and Voice/Video over IP (VVoIP) Endpoints, Version 1.1, 31 May 2022 which includes
the Base PP: Protection Profile for Application Software, Version 1.4, 7 October 2021 (ASPP14)
and the PP-Module for PP-Module for Voice/Video over IP (VVoIP) Endpoints, Version 1.0, 28
October 2020 (VVoIP10) with the Functional Package for Transport Layer Security (TLS),
Version 1.1, 01 March 2019 (PKGTLS11).
The TOE is the SecuSUITE v5.0 and SteelBox v5.0.
The TOE identified in this VR has been evaluated at a NIAP approved CCTL using the Common
Methodology for IT Security Evaluation (Version 3.1, Rev 5) for conformance to the Common
Criteria for IT Security Evaluation (Version 3.1, Rev 5). This VR applies only to the specific
version of the TOE as evaluated. The evaluation has been conducted in accordance with the
provisions of the NIAP Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) and the
conclusions of the testing laboratory in the evaluation technical report are consistent with the
evidence provided.
The validation team monitored the activities of the evaluation team, provided guidance on
technical issues and evaluation processes, and reviewed the individual work units and successive
versions of the Evaluation Technical Report (ETR). The validation team found that the evaluation
showed that the product satisfies all of the functional requirements and assurance requirements
stated in the Security Target (ST). Therefore the validation team concludes that the testing
laboratory’s findings are accurate, the conclusions justified, and the conformance results are
correct. The conclusions of the testing laboratory in the ETR are consistent with the evidence
produced.
The technical information included in this report was obtained from the SecuSUITE v5.0 and
SteelBox v5.0 Security Target, version 0.6, December 8, 2022 and analysis performed by the
validation team.

3 Assumptions & Clarification of Scope
Assumptions
The Security Problem Definition, including the assumptions, may be found in the following
documents:
• Protection Profile for Application Software, Version 1.4, 7 October 2021 (ASPP14)
• PP-Module for Voice/Video over IP (VVoIP) Endpoints, Version 1.0, 28 October 2020
(VVoIP10)
• Functional Package for Transport Layer Security (TLS), Version 1.1, 12 February 2019
(PKGTLS11)
That information has not been reproduced here and the ASPP14/VVoIP10/PKGTLS11 should be
consulted if there is interest in that material.
Clarification of scope
The scope of this evaluation was limited to the functionality and assurances covered in the
ASPP14/VVoIP10/PKGTLS11 as described for this TOE in the Security Target. Other
functionality included in the product was not assessed as part of this evaluation. All other
functionality provided by the devices needs to be assessed separately, and no further conclusions
can be drawn about their effectiveness.
All evaluations (and all products) have limitations, as well as potential misconceptions that need
clarification. This text covers some of the more important limitations and clarifications of this
evaluation. Note that:
• As with any evaluation, this evaluation only shows that the evaluated configuration meets
the security claims made with a certain level of assurance (the assurance activities specified
in the Application Software Protection Profile with the PP-Module for Voice and Video
over IP and the TLS Package and performed by the evaluation team).
• This evaluation covers only the specific device models and software as identified in this
document, and not any earlier or later versions released or in process.
• Apart from the Admin Guide, additional customer documentation for the specific Voice
over IP Client models was not included in the scope of the evaluation and therefore should
not to be relied upon when configuring or operating the device as evaluated.
• This evaluation did not specifically search for, nor attempt to exploit, vulnerabilities that
were not “obvious” or vulnerabilities to objectives not claimed in the ST. The CEM defines
an “obvious” vulnerability as one that is easily exploited with a minimum of understanding
of the TOE, technical sophistication and resources.

4 Architectural Information
Note: The following architectural description is based on the description presented in the ST.
The TOE is SecuSUITE v5.0 and SteelBox v5.0.
The TOE, herein referred to as the SecuSUITE/SteelBox Client or the TOE, is a VoIP application
that executes on an Android 11 or iOS 14 mobile device operating system.
Figure 1 TOE Usage
User Context
The TOE user downloads the TOE from an app store (e.g. Apple Store, Google Play) or it is pushed
via a Mobile Device Management (MDM) server (e.g. BlackBerry Enterprise Server) and installs
the app to their mobile device. On first use of the app, the user must go through a registration
process in order to register to a specified BlackBerry SecuGATE (identified by URI).
Once registered, the user can place secure VoIP calls using the app with largely the same
interactions as with a normal phone call. The SecuSUITE Client provides encryption of user call
signaling and voice data.
SecuSUITE Context
The TOE is part of the SecuSUITE Security Solution shown in Figure 2. The TOE does not work
in isolation but relies on BlackBerry SecuGATE components to enable a secure VoIP
communication.
Figure 2 SecuSUITE Security Solution
VoIP Client
The SecuSUITE Client establishes a secure tunnel for voice communications with another
SecuSUITE/SteelBox client or the SecuGATE SIP server. The tunnel provides confidentiality,
integrity, and data authentication for information that travels across the public network. This
occurs using the Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) that has been established using the
Session Description Protocol (SDP) and the Security Descriptions for Media Streams (SDES) for
SDP - the TOE supports SDES-SRTP.
SecuSUITE v5.0 and SteelBox v5.0 Validation Report Version 1.0, December 9, 2022
5
The TOE Client also protects communications between itself and the SIP Server by using a
Transport Layer Security (TLS)-protected signaling channel. To register the TOE within the
domain, the TOE is required to be password authenticated by the SIP Server. The TOE also makes
use of certificates to authenticate both the SIP server end and the TOE itself through the TLS
connection.
Group/Conference Calls
Besides the peer-to-peer calls between two instances of the TOE, the SecuSUITE/SteelBox
solution also allows the set-up of a secure conference call between a group of SecuSUITE users.
Secure Text Messaging
The TOE client allows encrypted instant message transfer between client applications. Secure Text
Messaging utilizes the same TLS protected communication channel that is used during initial SCA
registration used to transfer client configuration settings and SIP credentials between SecuGATE
and client.
Group Messaging
Besides the peer-to-peer text messaging between two instances of the TOE, the
SecuSUITE/SteelBox solution also allows the set-up of messaging groups between an arbitrary
number of SecuSUITE users. The messages are individually encrypted for all TOE users
participating in the group messaging session the same way peer to peer messages are protected.
Calls Destined Beyond the SecuGATE SIP server
The TOE always encrypts the user’s call signaling and data (voice) transmitted to other TOE VoIP
endpoints registered with the SecuGATE and transmitted to the SecuGATE itself. The SecuGATE
administrator can configure calling to additional endpoints, endpoints reached through a PBX
(another SIP server connected to local/internal landline phones and potentially connected to
outside phone lines). If so configured, the TOE can then place calls to additional endpoints beyond
the SecuGATE through the configured PBX; however, because the call signaling and call data
travels beyond the SecuGATE itself, its security ultimately lies beyond the TOE and SecuGATE
SIP server’s control.
While the ability of the SecuGATE SIP server to route calls to additional endpoints through a PBX
lies beyond the scope of this ASPP14/PKGTLS11/VVoIPAS10 evaluation, the TOE can indicate
when a user’s call travels beyond the SecuGATE SIP server.
CACI SteelBox Client
The CACI SteelBox Client is a branded version of the SecuSUITE client that is identical from
functional and security implementation perspective. The SteelBox client is distributed by
BlackBerry’s partner CACI and differs basically in the used UI assets and product publishing.
The relevant deltas are:
• Different splash screens during client start-up
• Replaced UI Assets and Text elements (e.g., SteelBox logo, product name, app icon,
status bar icon, EULA text and About screen).
• Changes required to distribute the client under an independent publisher/developer in the
App Stores (e.g. developer signing).

4.1 TOE Architecture
The TOE is comprised of the SecuSUITE v5.0 and SteelBox v5.0.
To operate the SecuSUITE Client must be registered to SecuSUITE and to the BlackBerry
SecuGATE SIP Server (also referred to as the Enterprise Session Controller, or ESC). Once
properly registered, the Client can initiate or receive a “Call”. Call data is exchanged with a VVoIP
endpoint through SecuGATE which provides an SRTP proxy. The Enterprise Session Controller
is also referred to as the SIP server.
4.2 Physical Boundaries
The TOE boundary is illustrated in Figure 3 TOE Boundary.

9. Trusted path/channels
5.1 Communication
The TOE utilizes the Opus codec by default to transmit voice media. The Opus codec utilizes a
fixed bit-rate.
The TOE also includes the SILK vocoder to transmit voice media. The vocodec has been modified
to pad the bit-rate in order to provide a constant bit-rate. This codec’s purpose is to provide
backwards compatibility with the TOE’s previous versions, and this codec is only used if the peer
VoIP client does not support the Opus codec.
5.2 Cryptographic support
The TOE includes its own cryptographic module to perform operations in support of authentication
actions and network communications using the TLS and SRTP protocol. The TOE implements
TLS version 1.2 with mutual authentication using elliptic-curve cryptography. The TOE also relies
upon its platform for certain cryptographic operations including providing random data to seed the
TOE’s own DRBG. The TOE relies upon the platform (i.e., iOS and Android) cryptographic
libraries for operations related to protecting keys in platform offer storage (i.e., a key store).
5.3 User data protection
The TOE enforces the media transmission policy when communicating with remote VVoIP
endpoints which use TLS and SRTP protocols. The TOE also ensures that communication with
an SCA server is protected using TLS. The TOE protects user data by utilizing platform services
for data storage.
5.4 Identification and authentication
The TOE authenticates TLS peers using X.509v3 certificates. It performs extensive X.509
certificate validation checks on these certificates rejecting invalid or revoked certificates.
5.5 Security management
The TOE receives configuration setting during its registration with an SCA server. The client
allows management operations that specify the SIP Server to use for connections.
5.6 Privacy
The TOE does not transmit Personally Identifiable Information over any network interfaces.
5.7 Protection of the TSF
The TOE relies on the physical boundary of the evaluated platform as well as the Android and iOS
operating systems for the protection of the TOE’s application components.
SecuSUITE v5.0 and SteelBox v5.0 Validation Report Version 1.0, December 9, 2022
8
The TOE relies upon these platforms to indicate the current TOE version. If an update is needed,
it is obtained from the platform’s application store. The TOE’s software is digitally signed in
accordance with the requirements of each application store.
The native Apple and Android cryptographic library, which provides some of the TOE’s
cryptographic services, have built-in self-tests that are run at client start-up to ensure that the
algorithms are correct. If any self-tests fail, the TOE will not be able to perform its cryptographic
services. The TOE includes its own cryptographic library that also includes self-tests that are run
when the client starts.
5.8 TOE access
The TOE includes a 15 second default timeout that can terminate idle voice/video transmission.
This timeout value can be changed by the configuration obtained from the SCA server.
5.9 Trusted path/channels
The TOE encrypts all data transmitted with an SCA server or Enterprise Session Controller using
TLS. The TLS channel established with an ESC can be used to exchange SIP messages or to
initiate the use of SRTP for voice/video traffic.
