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). In addition, certificates issued
for Protection Profiles based on Common Criteria are part of the recognition agreement.

BSI-DSZ-CC-0908-2013 Certification Report
● all stipulations regarding generation, configuration and operation, as given in the
following report, are observed,
● the product is operated in the environment described, as 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.
In case of changes to the certified version of the product, the validity can be extended to
the new versions and releases, provided the sponsor applies for assurance continuity (i.e.
re-certification or maintenance) of the modified product, in accordance with the procedural
requirements, and the evaluation does not reveal any security deficiencies.

1 Executive Summary
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) is the Bundesdruckerei Document Reading Application
1.2.1129.
The Document Reading Application is a library, which is used via a static link by an
application running on an Inspection System (IS), called EAC-Module. The library is used
to read the electronic data of German identification cards (“neuer Personalausweis (nPA)”,
“elektronischer Aufenthaltstitel (eAT)”) and German electronic travel documents
(“elektronischer Reisepass (ePass)”, “elektronischer Reiseausweis (eRA)”) as well as to
verify the authenticity and the integrity of the data.
The TOE is applied in registration offices to allow card holders to verify that their nPA,
ePass, eAT or eRA is working correctly. It is further possible to visualize the personal
information of the card holder.
Necessary protocols for the communication of the TOE with the electronic Machine
Readable Travel Documents (eMRTD) like the PA are described in [14] and [12]
The Security Target [6] is the basis for this certification. It is based on the certified
Protection Profile Common Criteria Protection Profile for Inspection Systems Version 1.01,
15 April 2010, BSI-CC-PP-0064-2010 [7].
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 3.
The TOE Security Functional Requirements (SFR) relevant for the TOE are outlined in the
Security Target [6], chapter 6.1. They are selected from Common Criteria Part 2 and some
of them are newly defined. Thus the TOE is CC Part 2 extended.
The TOE Security Functional Requirements are implemented by the following TOE
Security Functionality:
TOE Security Functionality Addressed issue
SF.PROTOCOLS Ensures the necessary protocols and
cryptographic operations
SF.MANAGEMENT Enforces the management functions for the
administrator and the operator
SF.AUDIT Generates audit data which is then stored by
the environment
Table 1: TOE Security Functionalities
For more details please refer to the Security Target [6], chapter 7.
The assets to be protected by the TOE are defined in the Security Target [6], chapter 3.2 .
Based on these assets the TOE Security Problem is defined in terms of Assumptions,
Threats and Organisational Security Policies. This is outlined in the Security Target [6],
chapter 3.3 to 3.5.
This certification covers the configurations of the TOE as outlined in chapter 8.

2 Identification of the TOE
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) is called:
Bundesdruckerei Document Reading Application, Version 1.2.1129
The following table outlines the TOE deliverables:
No Type Identifier Release Form of Delivery
1 SW Software Library called
Bundesdruckerei Document Reading
Application
1.2.1129 Stored in the terminal or
via update
2 DOC AGD - Document Application
Guidance Document [10]
1.7.18 Download via secured web
portal
Table 2: Deliverables of the TOE
It should be noted that the TOE is a software library delivered as part of a terminal, which
is called Visiotec Leseterminal containing the firmware version 2.0.28.
It should also be noted that additional smart cards are required for the administrator,
operator and revisor of the terminal. However, the delivery of those cards is out of scope
for this evaluation.
The terminal that operates the TOE is delivered to the user via standard delivery services.
The delivery however, is tracked and the terminal can only be operated using an operator,
administrator and revisor smart card which are shipped separately. For terminals that are
already delivered to the customer, the update functionality may be used to deliver the
TOE.
The guidance documentation [10] is not delivered together with the terminal as this would
allow an attacker to steal a packet and manipulate a terminal as well as the guidance.
Instead, the guidance documentation is downloaded by the users via a secured web
portal.
The guidance [10] will inform the administrator about all important aspects that need to be
checked for a secure delivery. The following aspects ensure the authenticity:
● A logo of Bundesdruckerei
● Two seals on the terminal
● The type information printed on the terminal
● The security characteristics of the box used for shipment
13 / 38
Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0908-2013
The version of the software can be verified, this enables the authorized users Operator
and Administrator to identify the TOE by its version number.
3 Security Policy
The Security Policy is expressed by the set of Security Functional Requirements and
implemented by the TOE. The TOE is used to read the electronic data of German
identification cards (“Personalausweis (PA)”, “elektronischer Aufenthaltstitel (eAT)”) and
German electronic travel documents (“elektronischer Reisepass (ePass)”, “elektronischer
Reiseausweis (eRA)”) as well as to verify the authenticity and the integrity of the data. It
covers the following issues: Use of the results of an identification and authentication
mechanisms, acceptance of software updates, deletion of ephemeral data and the
implementation of communication protocols.
4 Assumptions and Clarification of Scope
The Assumptions defined in the Security Target and some aspects of Threats and
Organisational Security Policies 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:
● Mechanisms to secure boot the Inspection System OS and the device drivers
● Signed certificates
● Public Key Infrastructures
● Cryptographic mechanism
● Secure administration
● Trained user
● Secure operating environment including a certified Private Key Store
● Secure communication
● Shielded display
● Terminal integrity
● Correct date
● Protection of chip password
● Protection of key and certificate data
Details can be found in the Security Target [6], chapter 4.2.
5 Architectural Information
The physical scope of the TOE can best be depicted by the following figure from the
Security Target:
14 / 38
BSI-DSZ-CC-0908-2013 Certification Report
Figure 1: TOE physical boundary
The TOE is the document reading application of the product EAC-Module and is therefore
software only. It is accompanied by its dedicated guidance documentation [10].
The platform for the TOE is the VISOTEC® Leseterminal Firmware, which is based on a
Linux Kernel of the 2.6 series and the GNU libc library. The underlying hardware is a 32 bit
embedded controller.
The TOE relies on a security controller that performs the cryptographic operations for
Terminal Authentication and that stores the necessary private key. All other cryptographic
operations (e.g. for the other protocols) are performed in software by the TOE itself.
Private keys that are used for other authentication mechanisms are stored temporarily in
the volatile memory of the TOE.
Internally, the TOE can be structured according to the following subsystems from the TOE
Design documentation:
Subsystem Description
CRCTaskAssignment
Ensures that for each function call the correct role is
active and handles the authentication context.
After successful verification of the role the function
calls are forwarded to EAC-Lib.
CryptoLib Cryptographic service provider
EAC-Lib
Implements all relevant write and read permissions
for the communication with the chip of an identity
document.
15 / 38
Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0908-2013
Subsystem Description
CRCLogger
Creates and checks audit files. Logfiles are generated
after a predefined scheme. The scheme for logging
ensures the authenticity, order and completeness of
audit data.
SCardLib

updates for the TOE.
Table 3: Overview of TOE structure
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 Exact Description of the Test configuration
As the TOE is a software application that is executed within an operating system that runs
on a smart card terminal the developer of the TOE chooses a software based concept for
testing. They developed a dedicated test framework that links the TOE and that can then
be run on the same hardware on which the TOE will be operated in practice.
This test configuration provides a dedicated test interface (accessible via SSH) that can be
used to start test cases that are contained in the test framework. This is the only way to
directly address the interfaces that the TOE provides during testing. The test cases of the
developer cover the complete security functionality of the TOE.
The evaluator has chosen a multi-dimensional concept for testing:
● All tests of the developer have been reviewed and executed again within the
laboratory of TUViT.
● The evaluator conducted a penetration test for the new SAC passport support.
● As some of the security properties of the final TOE can only be judged for
appropriateness using the final product, the evaluator tested the TOE using the
final terminal and checked the behavior of the terminal against the guidance
documentation.
16 / 38
BSI-DSZ-CC-0908-2013 Certification Report
The evaluator conducted penetration tests based on the final TOE including direct
manipulations of the environment of the TOE (even though such manipulations are not
formally necessary due to dedicated assumptions in the Security Target).
7.2 Developer's Test according to ATE_FUN
TOE configuration tested:
● The tests were performed with the TOE in a special testing framework that was
used to simulate the real operational environment.
Developer’s testing approach:
● Tests to cover the TSFI and their behavioural aspects defined in functional
specification (FSP), by testing each command that can be sent to the TOE,
● Positive and negative tests are applied,
● Tests considering the different roles that can access the TOE,
● Tests covering all TSF subsystems in the TOE design.
Verdict for the activity:
● All test cases in each test scenario were run successfully on the TOE.
● The developer’s testing results demonstrate that the TOE performs as expected.
All tests PASSED.
7.3 Evaluator Tests
7.3.1 Independent Testing according to ATE_IND
TOE configurations tested:
● C1: Standard test configuration - TOE within the test framework on the target Linux
on x86 based hardware (hardware is identical to the hardware that is delivered to
the final customer).
● C2: Final configuration for delivery - TOE within the final delivered terminal with
x86 hardware and terminal software and embedded Linux OS.
(C2 is the terminal in the final delivery state that is used for guidance testing and
penetration testing of the evaluator).
Subset size chosen:
● The evaluator tested each of the eight commands of the two TSFI E.ADMIN and
E.OPERATOR with C1. The configuration was used to cover usage of the TOE in
the final terminal. The evaluator chose to add tests for the usage of the TOE for the
different user roles as defined in the guidance. The new support for SAC passports
was covered by a penetration test of the evaluator.
TSFI subset selection criteria:
● The evaluator chose to repeat all developer tests. This approach covers the TOE
functionality by invoking the complete set of interfaces and confirms that the TOE
operates as specified.
TSFI tested:
17 / 38
Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0908-2013
● The evaluator tested the complete TSFI as documented in the functional
specification.
Developer tests performed:
● The developer performed tests of all TSFI with an automated test framework
running on the final hardware.
● The evaluator selected all tests of the developer’s testing documentation for
sampling due to the fact that all developer tests are implemented in scripts that can
run without manual interactions.
Verdict for the activity:
● During the evaluator’s testing the TOE operated as specified.
● The evaluator verified the developer’s test results by executing all of the
developer’s tests in the test documentation.
7.3.2 Penetration Testing according to AVA_VAN
Overview:
● The penetration testing was partially performed using the developer’s testing
environment, partially using the test environment of TÜViT.
● There is only one configuration of the TOE under evaluation and addressed by
testing.
● No attack scenario with the attack potential Basic has actually been successful.
Penetration testing approach:
● Based on a list of potential vulnerabilities applicable to the TOE in its operational
environment created within the work unit AVA_VAN.2-5 the evaluators devised the
attack scenarios for penetration tests when they were of the opinion, that those
potential vulnerabilities could be exploited in the TOE’s operational environment.
● While doing this, also the aspects of the security architecture (ADV_ARC) were
considered for penetration testing. All other evaluation input was used for the
creation of the tests as well. Specifically the test documentation provided by the
developer was used to find out if there are areas of concern that should be covered
by tests of the evaluation body.
● As the TOE is a static library that heavily relies on the security measures of the
environment (including the terminal in, which the TOE is integrated), the ADV_ARC
document also covers some of the security measure that are applied by the
terminal. The evaluator considered the fact that the TOE is delivered in such a way
and widened the scope of the vulnerability analysis to cover specific security
aspects of the whole terminal.
● The evaluator also paid attention to the TSFI in the functional specification (FSP).
As the TSFI are quite simple with few options that can be varied and the TOE in
deeply integrated into a terminal when it is delivered, the vulnerability assessment
needed to focus on mechanisms that are operational inside the TOE or the terminal.
TOE test setup configurations:
● C1: Standard test configuration - TOE within the test framework on the target Linux
on x86 based hardware, that is delivered to the final customer.
18 / 38
BSI-DSZ-CC-0908-2013 Certification Report
● C2: Final configuration for delivery - TOE within the final delivered terminal with
x86 hardware and terminal software and embedded Linux OS.
● C3: Sandbox test configuration - Terminal – TOE with certificates of the test PKI
within the final delivered terminal with x86 hardware and terminal software and
embedded Linux OS.
Different attack scenarios having been penetration tested. Regarding the implementation
and execution of test cases in detail, the evaluator achieved the necessary test coverage
in this re-evaluation scenario by including the following types of tests:
● Previous Tests - Tests of the previous evaluation, which are still appropriately valid.
● Substituted Tests - Tests of the previous evaluation, which are not repeated, but
substituted by other existing or new tests, to cover the same test area.
● Repeated Tests - Tests which are simply repeated, parameters may be modified,
but the test area is the same.
● New Tests - Tests which are added due to different potential reasons, e.g. new
concerns, new test tools, certification body input, etc.
Verdict for the sub-activity:
● No attack scenario with the attack potential Basic was actually successful in the
TOE’s operational environment as defined in [6] provided that all measures required
by the developer are applied.
Recommendation of the Evaluation Body:
● The TOE is only a small part of the whole terminal and it heavily relies on the
secure functioning of the rest of the terminal. The overall security significantly
depends on the secure environment in which the terminal is operated. Therefore,
the evaluation body strongly advises that the responsible personnel is well trained
to uphold security, i.e. secure operation, detection of manipulations, checking of
seals, general security awareness.

Table 5: TOE cryptographic functionality
The strength of the cryptographic algorithms was not rated in the course of this certification
procedure (see BSIG Section 9, Para. 4, Clause 2). According to TR-03110 [12] the
algorithms are suitable for securing originality and confidentiality of the stored data for
machine readable travel documents (MRTDs). All cryptographic algorithms listed in table 5
are implemented by the TOE because of the standards building the TOE application (e.g.
TR-03110 [12] ). A validity period of each algorithm is not mentioned in TR-03110 [12]. For
that reason an explicit validity period is not given.
10 Obligations and Notes for the Usage of the TOE
The document 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 OSPs as outlined in the Security Target not covered by the TOE
itself need to be fulfilled by the operational environment of the TOE.

Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0908-2013
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 of the
TOE is required and thus requested from the sponsor of the certificate.
If available, certified updates of the TOE should be used. If non-certified updates or
patches are available the user of the TOE should request the sponsor to provide a
re-certification. In the meantime a risk management process of the system using the TOE
should investigate and decide on the usage of not yet certified updates and patches or
take additional measures in order to maintain system security.
The limited validity for the usage of cryptographic algorithms as outlined in chapter 9 has
to be considered by the user and his system risk management process.
Beside or in order to highlight the information provided for TOE users (Administrator,
Operator, and Revisor) in the guidance documentation the following hints and
requirements have been of specific importance and are therefore mentioned here
explicitly:
● The Security Target contains assumptions about the physical environment of the
TOE. It is essential to understand that – even though the terminal that operates the
TOE implements some very basic features for physical protection – the operators,
administrators, and revisors have to ensure that no unauthorized and unobserved
access to the terminal that operates the TOE is possible.
● The terminals that operates the TOE shall be powered off every evening.
● The correct operation of the software environment of the TOE (i.e. the Operating
System/Firmware) is of specific importance to the secure operation of the TOE. As
such, the certificate for the TOE shall only be valid for the operation using the exact
version of the Operating System/Firmware as it has been available during
evaluation.
There are no other requirements for the TOE usage, except those provided for TOE in the
guidance documentation [10]. Obligations regarding the developers of the TOE are stated
in the ETR [9], chapter 9.2.
11 Security Target
For the purpose of publishing, the Security Target [6] of the Target of Evaluation (TOE) is

C Excerpts from the Criteria
CC Part 1:
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.

Table 1: Evaluation assurance level summary”
32 / 38
BSI-DSZ-CC-0908-2013 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.”
33 / 38
Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0908-2013
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.”
34 / 38
BSI-DSZ-CC-0908-2013 Certification Report
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.”
