2 Recognition Agreements
In order to avoid multiple certification of the same product in different countries a mutual
recognition of IT security certificates - as far as such certificates are based on ITSEC or
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.
It includes assurance levels beyond EAL4 resp. E3 (basic).
The new agreement was initially signed by the national bodies of Finland, France,
Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Within the terms of this agreement the German Federal Office for Information Security
(BSI) recognises
● for the basic recognition level certificates issued as of April 2010 by the national
certification bodies of France, The Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom.
● for the higher recognition level in the technical domain Smart card and similar Devices
certificates issued as of April 2010 by the national certification bodies of France, The
Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
In addition, certificates issued for Protection Profiles based on Common Criteria are part of
the recognition agreement.
The SOGIS-MRA logo printed on the certificate indicates that it is recognised under the
terms of this agreement.
Historically, the first SOGIS-Mutual Recognition Agreement Version 1 (ITSEC only)
became initially effective in March 1998. It was extended in 1999 to include certificates
based on the Common Criteria (MRA Version 2). Recognition of certificates previously
issued under these older versions of the SOGIS-Mutual Recognition Agreement is being
continued.
2.2 International Recognition of CC – Certificates (CCRA)
An arrangement (Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement) on the mutual recognition of
certificates based on the CC Evaluation Assurance Levels up to and including EAL 4 has
been signed in May 2000 (CCRA). It includes also the recognition of Protection Profiles
based on the CC.
As of January 2009 the arrangement has been signed by the national bodies of: Australia,
Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary,
India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, The Netherlands, New Zealand,
Norway, Pakistan, Republic of Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom, United
States of America. The current list of signatory nations and approved certification schemes
can be seen on the web site: http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org
The Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement logo printed on the certificate indicates
that this certification is recognised under the terms of this agreement.
3 Performance of Evaluation and Certification
The certification body monitors each individual evaluation to ensure a uniform procedure, a
uniform interpretation of the criteria and uniform ratings.
The product Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Release 5 (10.2.0.5) has

The certification is concluded with the comparability check and the production of this
Certification Report. This work was completed by the BSI.
4 Validity of the Certification Result
This Certification Report only applies to the version of the product as indicated. The
confirmed assurance package is only valid on the condition that
● all stipulations regarding generation, configuration and operation, as given in the
following report, are observed,
● the product is operated in the environment described, where specified in the following
report and in the Security Target.
For the meaning of the assurance levels please refer to the excerpts from the criteria at
the end of the Certification Report.
The Certificate issued confirms the assurance of the product claimed in the Security Target
at the date of certification. As attack methods evolve over time, the resistance of the
certified version of the product against new attack methods needs to be re-assessed.
Therefore, the sponsor should apply for the certified product being monitored within the
assurance continuity program of the BSI Certification Scheme (e.g. by a re-certification).
Specifically, if results of the certification are used in subsequent evaluation and certification
procedures, in a system integration process or if a user's risk management needs regularly
updated results, it is recommended to perform a re-assessment on a regular e.g. annual
basis.

1 Executive Summary
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) is the enterprise management software solution Oracle
Enterprise Manager Grid Control 10g Release 5 (10.2.0.5), or EMGC for short. It provides
access to network management functions to administrators through either web-based or
command-line interfaces. EMGC comprises an Oracle Management Server (OMS)
providing interfaces to the EMGC to users for managing remote hosts and applications
(targets) as well as viewing system measurements including diagnose performance and
health issues of the target systems. In the evaluated configuration only an Oracle
Database as application on a target host can be managed. Oracle Enterprise Manager
Grid Control is a distributed software application including a centralized, integrated
framework for managing other products in an enterprise grid. Management functionality
includes performing software installation, patching, upgrading, workload balancing on the
products that EMGC manages.
The Oracle Management Server component of the TOE requires installation of an
appropriate Oracle Application Server and an Oracle Database available for storing data.
More details on the definition of the runtime environment of the TOE are given in Security
Target [6].
Security functionality provided by the TOE includes
● authentication of users using the OMS-provided GUI and CLI to administrate remote
targets,
● enforcement of access control granting users certain privileges to access managed
objects,
● secure communications between the OMS and the agents,
● management of security compliance of managed targets,
● management of the TOE's security functions and
● auditing of security-relevant events.
The Security Target [6] is the basis for this certification. It is not based on a certified
Protection Profile.
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 4
augmented by ALC_FLR.3.
The TOE Security Functional Requirements (SFR) relevant for the TOE are outlined in the
Security Target [6], chapter 6. They are selected from Common Criteria Part 2 and one of
them is newly defined. Thus the TOE is CC Part 2 extended.
The TOE Security Functional Requirements are implemented by the following TOE
Security Function:

SF 1 Identification and authentication
The TOE enforces authentication decisions made by the OM repository in the IT
environment on users accessing the TOE via the OMS-provided GUI or CLI interface. In
14 / 42
BSI-DSZ-CC-0621-2010 Certification Report
TOE Security
Function
Addressed issue
addition, the TOE maintains security attributes (ID, role, privileges) of its users.
Additional forms of authentication performed by the TOE involve the use of SSL
certificates, agent registration passwords, and agent keys. Agent registration passwords
and agent keys are used during the registration phase of a new agent. Upon a
successful registration, the OMS generates SSL certificates to be used by an agent for
further communication with the OMS.
In addition, the TOE performs termination of an interactive session after a period of user
inactivity defined by the administrator.
SF 2 Privilege-based access control
The TOE enforces a privilege-based access control policy for administrators using the
TOE interfaces to manage targets.
Roles allow to group privileges and to grant these to individual users or other roles.
Privileges give the user or members of specific roles rights to perform certain
management actions within EMGC. Together privileges and roles control the targets a
user can manage and the specific types of tasks the user can perform.
SF 3 Auditing
The TSF implements generation of audit records of security-relevant activities. The
auditing functionality covers the following types of events:
● authentication attempts
● logon / logoff
● user management
● security attribute management
● job management
● file transfer
● remote operations
Audit records contain the following information:
● type of event
● date and time of the event
● user identity (if applicable)
● outcome of the event (success/failure)
● name and IP address of the user's host system
SF 4 Protected data transfer
The TOE implements SSL v3[12] on target hosts8
to secure communication between the
OMS host and agents against eavesdropping and unauthorized modification of TSF data
and user data.
SF 5 Compliance management
The TOE performs comparison between configurations of managed targets and
configurations defined by administrators (baseline configurations/policies). Additionally,
the TOE can generate reports on and notify administrators of any violations of
compliance policies resulting from the performed comparison. Examples of violations
include inappropriate settings and incorrect system configurations.
SF 6 Security management

Function
Addressed issue
The TOE offers administrative interfaces such as OMS-provided GUI and CLI to manage
the TOE security functions like:
● Management of security attributes used for the enforcement of the Privilege-Based
Access Control policy.
● Management of TSF data including the restriction to query, modify or delete the
definition of target configuration baselines.
● Management functions including audit management, security attribute management,
baseline configuration management, and credential management of target objects.
● Management of SSL certificates.
● Management of security roles.

2.1 Delivery of the TOE
Upon ordering, the product Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Release 5
(10.2.0.5) (item no. 1 in Table 2) is shipped to the customer on DVD-media which are
packaged in a sealed cardboard box. As an alternative, customers may chose to download
the TOE from an Oracle website. After installing the TOE, customers need to apply the
patches listed above (items 2, 3, 4 in Table 2). Those need to be downloaded from an
Oracle website as well as the guidance documentation for the TOE.
All downloads listed above are secured by HTTPS, i.e. they are SSL-secured. On the
Oracle website, SHA-1 and MD5 checksums for each downloadable item are published
allowing the customer to verify the integrity of the downloads afterwards.
17 / 42
Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0621-2010
The URL http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html which is
available for downloading guidance documentation is not secured by SSL. Customers also
may request the documents from the vendor by sending an email to
seceval_us@oracle.com as specified at the following adress:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/oracle-common-criteria-095703.html.
To ensure that the correct versions of the relevant guidance documentation are obtained
the customers may generate SHA-1 checksums that can be compared against the
checksums provided in table 3 above.
2.2 Identification of the TOE
Customers can verify the correct TOE version by issuing commands from the operating
system command line available on the OMS host as well as on each of the target hosts
having installed management agents. Those commands are:
● For the OMS:
"emctl status oms" resulting in the output "Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release
5 Grid Control".
● For the agents:
"emctl status agent" resulting in the output "Agent Version: 10.2.0.5.0".
In order to verify that all required patches have been applied, customers need to issue the
following command from the OMS host command line:
"opatch lsinventory -oh $OMS_HOME"
or in case of the agent
"opatch lsinventory -oh $AGENT_HOME"
The resulting output contains for each patch the patch number that can be verified against
the list of required patches mentioned in items 2, 3, 4 in Table 2.
Customers may verify that correct versions of the relevant guidance documents for the
evaluated configuration of the TOE were made available by generating SHA-1 checksums
for the documents obtained and comparing them against the respective checksums
provided in table 3.
3 Security Policy
The Security Policy is expressed by the set of Security Functional Requirements and
implemented by the TOE. It covers the following issues:
● The TOE must ensure that only authenticated users can gain access to the TOE and
that they must be successfully authenticated before performing any TOE security
relevant actions.
● The TOE shall enforce a Privilege-Based Access Control policy in order to allow
administrators to restrict access to managed objects to authorized users.
● The TOE shall generate audit records for security-relevant actions and make that
information available to authorized personnel.
● The TSF with support from the environment must ensure that data transferred between
the remote parts of the TOE is protected against disclosure and modification.
18 / 42
BSI-DSZ-CC-0621-2010 Certification Report
● The TOE shall offer a mechanism to detect deviations between configurations of
managed targets and administrator-defined baseline configurations and report on any
compliance violations.
● The TSF must provide the capability to consistently interpret X.509 certificates
(according to specified implementation standards) being shared between the TOE and
the trusted underlying operating system of the OMS.
4 Assumptions and Clarification of Scope
The Assumptions defined in the Security Target and some aspects of the Threats are not
covered by the TOE itself. These aspects lead to specific security objectives to be fulfilled
by the TOE-Environment. The following topics are of relevance:
● The runtime environment for the TOE shall implement authentication mechanisms
sought by the TOE.
● The runtime environments for the OMS shall supply a reliable time source for the TOE's
usage.
● Those responsible for the administration of the TOE are competent and trustworthy
individuals.
● No other application is allowed to run on the systems hosting the TOE to prevent
unauthorized access to the TOE and the corresponding assets.
● The runtime environment for the TOE shall securely generate, store, and import X.509
certificates to the TOE for secure communication between the OMS and the agent. On
the server side mechanisms must be in place to use these certificates for the secure
communication with the agents.
Details can be found in the Security Target [6], chapter 4.
5 Architectural Information
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control (EMGC) is an enterprise management software
solution that provides network management functions including performance queries and
health measurements of managed network systems, configuration of policies, and
automation of routine tasks. The TOE is especially capable of managing databases in the
network.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control consists of three major components:
● the Oracle Management Server (OMS),
● remote agents installed on the hosts of managed applications ("targets"), and an
● Oracle Database that serves as a repository for management information.
This is depicted in the following figure.
19 / 42
Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0621-2010
Figure 1 presents an architectural overview of an EMGC, illustrating the various
components that comprise the TOE. Orange shaded (dark-shaded) boxes show parts of
the TOE, (blue (light-shaded boxes) boxes name parts of its IT environment. Arrows are
used to generally indicate information flows/connectivity between components (e.g., an
arrow pointing from component A to component B would indicate that component A
initiates communication with component B).
5.1 Oracle Management Server
The Oracle Management Server (OMS, orange-shaded boxes within the Oracle
Application Server in Figure 1) provides the TOE user with web-based and command-line
interfaces to manage and control the TOE and the systems that it manages, and most of
the interaction between the user and the TOE take place through the OMS. Because of
this, the OMS is central to the control of the entire TOE. The functionality of the OMS
application is implemented within the Java-based Oracle Web Application Server.
The OMS web interface allows TOE users to view system measurements and perform
management tasks. System measurements are provided by agents and can be used to
monitor activity and diagnose performance and health issues of managed systems. Tasks
such as system provisioning, remotely installing updates and patches, adjusting system
configuration, and performing maintenance actions can all be run manually or automated
to run regularly.
In the evaluated configuration of the TOE, a database plug-in is installed along with the
standard installation procedure that can perform direct database queries and commands,
allowing the TOE user to create and schedule database maintenance commands and
collect customized information about the database. According to the user guidance [10],
20 / 42
Figure 1: TOE Architecture
BSI-DSZ-CC-0621-2010 Certification Report
any other plug-ins not being part of the product installation is not allowed to be installed
and used in the evaluated configuration.
5.2 Agent/Target
In the evaluated configuration the TOE has the ability to manage a variety of remote hosts
and an Oracle Database as application on the remote host referred to as a target (OMA,
orange-shaded boxes within the OM Repository in Figure 1). In order to perform remote
actions within a managed network, each managed target has an agent that is installed to
facilitate the management actions of the OMS. This agent communicates with the OMS to
receive instructions executing them on the target. Monitoring and collecting credentials, for
example user name and password needed to execute commands in a managed database,
are stored by the agent on the target host. Host credentials are passed to the target's
operating system for identification and authentication when requesting management
actions on the operating system level.
Agents communicate over the network with the OMS via HTTPS in order to receive
commands and deliver target information.
5.3 Repository
Data collected by the agents as well as a large amount of TOE configuration information is
stored in the repository, which is implemented by an Oracle Database (OMR, orange-
shaded boxes within the Oracle Application Server in Figure 1). The repository is also used
to host and execute a number of OMS-provided PL/SQL packages. In addition, EMGC
uses the repository as an authentication provider: the repository provides decisions on
authentication requests that are then enforced by the OMS.
Access control is enforced with the help of explicit checks for privileges. Privilege checking
is implemented by the PL/SQL scripts which check the access control lists to allow or deny
the authenticated user from performing requested operations on defined objects.
Access control for queries directly accessing data about managed targets in the database
is not enforced by the TOE as the queries are executed by the repository. In this case the
functionality of the database system is used to deny or grant access to the corresponding
data.
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
this report have to be followed.
7 IT Product Testing
7.1 Developer Tests
The developer performed the tests mostly in virtual machines.
For the OMS, the following software components were used. Other software like a JVM
required for running the Oracle Application Server, etc. were installed according to the
guidance of the corresponding product:
21 / 42
Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0621-2010
● Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.3 hosting the OMS
● Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.7) hosting the Repository
● Operating system Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS Release 5 (32 bit)
For the target hosts, the TOE-software was run by means of the following software:
● Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2
● Operating system Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS Release 5 (32 bit)
The developer performed functional tests within the test environment located at the Oracle
data center in Austin,TX. The test approach chosen by the developer is based on running
regression tests of all TOE functionality including security related aspects. The regression
tests are run at least once a week and all differences between expected test results
archived an actual test results obtained are subject to investigation.
Although some deviations of actual test results from the expected results were identified,
none of those deviations was related to the TOE functionality or had a security impact.
7.2 Independent evaluator tests
The evaluator set up an own test installation in the evaluation lab in Munich according to
the developer guidance on installation and secure configuration. This test installation has
been used to perform tests devised by the evaluator.
For the OMS and the OMR:
● Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.3
● Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.7) hosting the Repository
● Operating system SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 (64 bit)
For the target hosts, the TOE-software was run by means of the following software:
● Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2
● One agent for each of the following operating systems:
– Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS Release 5 (64 bit)
– SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 (32 bit and 64 bit)
– Oracle Enterprise Linux Version 4 Update 5 (32 bit and 64 bit)
The evaluator verified the correct operation of the TSF by successfully repeating nearly all
of the developer tests for the RHEL 5 32-bit platform. In addition, own test cases for a
broad selection of TSF covering the remaining supported platforms for the agent and a 64-
bit platform for the OMS were all executed successfully. As all Linux versions base on the
same Linux Kernel version and the code base for all versions is the same, the evaluator
considered this test coverage to assure a correct functioning on all platforms.
Thus the evaluator concedes an appropriate level of assurance to the TOE software that
the software runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS Version 5, Oracle Enterprise Linux
Version 4 Update 5 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 operating systems both in
the 32-bit and 64-bit mode without flaws in the security functionality.
22 / 42
BSI-DSZ-CC-0621-2010 Certification Report
7.3 Penetration Testing
The evaluator used publicly documented vulnerabilities in CVE and general search
engines for devising his vulnerability analysis.
The main attention of the evaluator's assessment was put on the OMS/repository part of
the TOE, as this is the central point of security management. The agents, that can be
compared to probes installed on many locations within a network, only serve as data
collectors with no direct security-impact on the central part of the TOE.
The following list summarizes areas considered for vulnerability testing:
● Corrupted agent scenarios
● Web pages accessible without authentication
● Privilege escalation
● Disclosure of sensitive information
● Code injections
● Insecure interfaces
● Random number generation
None of the penetration tests performed by the evaluator revealed an exploitable
vulnerability of the TOE.
8 Evaluated Configuration
This certification covers the following configurations of the TOE:
The evaluated configuration of the TOE consists of Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid
Control Release 5 (10.2.0.5) with patches 8814764, 8968670, and 9019231 being applied.
The evaluated configuration may also comprise one or more management agents installed
on the managed target hosts. The runtime environment of the TOE is defined as follows:
● Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2 for target hosts and command line interface (CLI) hosts
● Software being installed by the standard installation procedure including the Oracle
Application Server 10.1.2.3 hosting the OMS
● Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.7) hosting the Repository
The following Linux OS both in the 32-bit and the 64-bit version are supported for hosting
target hosts and hosts to use the command line interface from:
● Oracle Enterprise Linux Version 4 Update 5 (OEL)
● Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS Release 5 (RHEL)
● SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 (SLES)
The following configuration specifics apply to the evaluated configuration of the TOE:
● SSL must be enabled for network communications in secure-lock mode
● The only supported application on a target host in the evaluated configuration is an
Oracle Database. Especially the support for Oracle Application Server and Collaboration
suite is not included in this evaluation.
● Audit must always be turned on
23 / 42
Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0621-2010
● For configuration of systems, EMGC 10.2.0.5 Security best practices [9] should be used
and the measures described in Evaluated Configuration for Oracle Enterprise Manager
10g Grid Control Release 5 (10.2.0.5) [10] must be applied.

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.
If available, certified updates of the TOE shall be used. If non-certified updates or patches
are available he should request the developer for providing a re-certification. In the
meantime risk management process of the system using the TOE shall investigate and
decide on the usage of not yet certified updates and patches or to take additional
measures in order to maintain system security.
The customer is required to verify the correctness of all relevant guidance documentation
obtained by generating SHA-1 checksums and comparing those against the values
provided in table 3 prior to installation and configuration of the TOE. This procedure only
applies to the guidance documents listed in that table.

C Excerpts from the Criteria
CC Part1:
Conformance Claim (chapter 10.4)
„The conformance claim indicates the source of the collection of requirements that is met
by a PP or ST that passes its evaluation. This conformance claim contains a CC
conformance claim that:
● describes the version of the CC to which the PP or ST claims conformance.
● describes the conformance to CC Part 2 (security functional requirements) as either:
– CC Part 2 conformant - A PP or ST is CC Part 2 conformant if all SFRs in that
PP or ST are based only upon functional components in CC Part 2, or
– CC Part 2 extended - A PP or ST is CC Part 2 extended if at least one SFR in
that PP or ST is not based upon functional components in CC Part 2.
● describes the conformance to CC Part 3 (security assurance requirements) as either:
– CC Part 3 conformant - A PP or ST is CC Part 3 conformant if all SARs in that
PP or ST are based only upon assurance components in CC Part 3, or
– CC Part 3 extended - A PP or ST is CC Part 3 extended if at least one SAR in
that PP or ST is not based upon assurance components in CC Part 3.
Additionally, the conformance claim may include a statement made with respect to
packages, in which case it consists of one of the following:
● Package name Conformant - A PP or ST is conformant to a pre-defined package
(e.g. EAL) if:
– the SFRs of that PP or ST are identical to the SFRs in the package, or
– the SARs of that PP or ST are identical to the SARs in the package.
● Package name Augmented - A PP or ST is an augmentation of a predefined package
if:
– the SFRs of that PP or ST contain all SFRs in the package, but have at least
one additional SFR or one SFR that is hierarchically higher than an SFR in the
package.
– the SARs of that PP or ST contain all SARs in the package, but have at least
one additional SAR or one SAR that is hierarchically higher than an SAR in the
package.
Note that when a TOE is successfully evaluated to a given ST, any conformance claims of
the ST also hold for the TOE. A TOE can therefore also be e.g. CC Part 2 conformant.
Finally, the conformance claim may also include two statements with respect to Protection
Profiles:
● PP Conformant - A PP or TOE meets specific PP(s), which are listed as part of the
conformance result.
● Conformance Statement (Only for PPs) - This statement describes the manner in
which PPs or STs must conform to this PP: strict or demonstrable. For more
information on this Conformance Statement, see Annex D.”

Evaluation assurance levels (chapter 8)
“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 8.1)
“Table 1 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 CC 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 augmented with extended
assurance requirements.”

BSI-DSZ-CC-0621-2010 Certification Report
Evaluation assurance level 1 (EAL1) - functionally tested (chapter 8.3)
“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 requires only a limited security target. It is sufficient to simply state the SFRs that the
TOE must meet, rather than deriving them from threats, OSPs and assumptions through
security objectives.
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.”
Evaluation assurance level 2 (EAL2) - structurally tested (chapter 8.4)
“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 practise. 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 8.5)
“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 practises.
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 8.6)
“Objectives
EAL4 permits a developer to gain maximum assurance from positive security engineering
based on good commercial development practises 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 8.7)
“Objectives
EAL5 permits a developer to gain maximum assurance from security engineering based
upon rigorous commercial development practises 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 8.8)
“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.”

Evaluation assurance level 7 (EAL7) - formally verified design and tested
(chapter 8.9)
“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.”
Class AVA: Vulnerability assessment (chapter 16)
“The AVA: Vulnerability assessment class addresses the possibility of exploitable
vulnerabilities introduced in the development or the operation of the TOE.”
Vulnerability analysis (AVA_VAN) (chapter 16.1)
"Objectives
Vulnerability analysis is an assessment to determine whether potential vulnerabilities
identified, during the evaluation of the development and anticipated operation of the TOE
or by other methods (e.g. by flaw hypotheses or quantitative or statistical analysis of the
security behaviour of the underlying security mechanisms), could allow attackers to violate
the SFRs.
Vulnerability analysis deals with the threats that an attacker will be able to discover flaws
that will allow unauthorised access to data and functionality, allow the ability to interfere
with or alter the TSF, or interfere with the authorised capabilities of other users.”
