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

2 Certification Results
2.1 Identification of Target of Evaluation
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) for this evaluation is the Huawei OptiX RTN 900 Series Software
Management Component V100R019C10SPC200 from Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. located in
Shenzhen, China.
The TOE is comprised of the following main components:
Delivery
item type
Identifier Version
Software
Huawei OptiX RTN 900 Series software
management component
V100R019C10SPC200
To ensure secure usage a set of guidance documents is provided together with the Huawei OptiX
RTN 900 Series Software Management Component V100R019C10SPC200. Details can be found in
section 2.5 of this report.
2.2 Security Policy
To counter the security threats listed in the [ST], the TOE provides the following security features:
 Identification and authentication of administrative users:
o Users are identified by a username and authenticated by password prior to accessing
services of the TOE. The TOE is accessed via the web GUI of an Element
Management System (EMS). The TOE provides local authentication and remote
authentication via RADIUS.
 Authorization
o The TOE maintains mutiple administration roles. There are in total 4 hierarchical
access levels ranging from 0 ~ 3. The higher the number, the greater is the privilege.
Only authenticated users can execute commands of the TOE.
 Auditing
o The TOE generates audit records for security-relevant management actions. All audit
records contain not only the information on the event itself but also a timestamp and –
if applicable – additional information like user ID, source IP, etc. Audit records are
writing to local flash storage. The TSF deletes the oldest log files if the audit trail
exceeds the size of the storage device.
 Communication security
o The TOE provides communication security by implementing the TLS protocol. To
protect the TOE from eavesdrop and to ensure data transmission security and
confidentiality, TLS 1.2 provides the following cipher-suites:
 TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 as defined in RFC5288
 TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 as defined in RFC5288
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 as defined in RFC5288
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 as defined in RFC5288
 TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 as defined in RFC5246
 TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 as defined in RFC5246
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 as defined in RFC5246
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 as defined in RFC5246
 TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA as defined in RFC3268
 TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA as defined in RFC3268
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA as defined in RFC3268
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA as defined in RFC3268

o The TOE also provides an SFTP client for secure file downloading and uploading.
Users can use the SFTP client for fault collection, log uploading, and uploading and
downloading of a file and a database etc. SFTP provides:
 Authentication of client by password or RSA public key;
 AES encryption algorithms;
 HMAC integrity verification algorithms;
 Secure cryptographic key exchange.
 Management traffic flow control
o For administration of the TOE, network packages have to be sent to the TOE from the
management network. When a network packet reaches the TOE from the
management network, the TOE applies an information flow security policy in the form
of Access Control Lists (ACLs) to the traffic before processing it. Network packets on
Layer 3 from the management network arriving at a network interface of the TOE are
checked to ensure that they conform to the configured packet filter policy.
 Security functionality management
o The TOE provides the following management functionalities:
 Management of user accounts and user attributes, including user credentials.
 Management of authentication failure policy;
 Access control management, including the association of users and
corresponding privileged functionalities;
 Enabling/disabling trusted channels for local and remote access to the TOE’s
management interfaces;
 Management of ACLs and ACL attributes and parameters like IP addresses
or address ranges;
 Configuration of network addresses for services used by the TOE, like NTP,
Syslog, RADIUS, SFTP;
 Management of the TOE’s time;
 All security management functions (i.e. commands related to security
management) require sufficient user level for execution.
2.3 Assumptions and Clarification of Scope
2.3.1 Assumptions
The assumptions defined in the Security Target are not covered by the TOE itself. These aspects lead
to specific Security Objectives to be fulfilled by the TOE-Environment. Detailed information on these
security objectives that must be fulfilled by the TOE environment can be found in 4.2 of the [ST].
2.3.2 Clarification of scope
The evaluation did not reveal any threats to the TOE that are not countered by the evaluated security
functions of the product.
2.4 Architectural Information
The OptiX RTN 900 Series is a new generation TDM/Hybrid/Packet/Routing integrated microwave
transmission system developed by Huawei. It provides a seamless microwave transmission solution
for mobile communication network or private networks. The RTN 900 series does not process client
services that it transmits.
Therefore, the TOE is the management component of the unified transmission software (UTS) that
runs on the control board of the RTN 900 series.
The logical architecture, originating from the Security Target [ST] of the TOE can be depicted as
follows:

The UTS is responsible for managing and controlling the whole RTN 900 software, communication,
and security features in RTN 900. The UTS relies on the underlying OS. The OS is responsible for
processes scheduling management, file system management, memory management, IPC module
(Inter Process communication), and drivers etc. The security features of the TOE are all provided by
the UTS.

2.6.1 Testing approach and depth
The developer focused on functional testing and manually tested all of the defined test cases. The
developer grouped the 26 executed test cases into the following logical security functions:
 Auditing
 Authorization
 Authentication
 Communication security
 Security Management
 Time
 Interface
Each defined test case runs independently. There is no sequence dependency between test cases.
The developer tested all the TSFIs. However, the developer focused more on the management
interfaces (CLI and GUI) than the protocol interfaces (RADIUS, NTP, etc.).
The developer executed the test plans on the following to provide coverage:
 The full test plan on OptiX RTN 950A chassis with control board CSHOF running
V100R019C10SPC200.
 50% of the test plan on the OptiX RTN 905 2F chassis with control board CSHP running
V100R019C10SPC200.
The rationale for executing 50% of the tests was to verify the security functions of the TOE with a
focus on AAA and secure channels.
The test configurations used by the developer are shown below:
The evaluator repeated 5 of the developer’s test cases.
In addition, the evaluator devised 11 additional independent evaluator tests to further complement the
coverage and increase the depth.
2.6.2 Independent Penetration Testing
To identify potential vulnerabilities the evaluator performed the following activities:
 SFR analysis

o The evaluator applied their knowledge of attacks applicable to the TOE type.
 Public domain analysis
o The evaluator performed a public domain vulnerability search for TOE specific items
(TOE name, TOE-type, secure libraries, etc.)
o The evaluator used the websites provided by NSCIB as biases to perform the search.
 Network scanning tools
o The evaluator ran vulnerability-scanning tools to identify potential vulnerabilities.
Penetration tests were created based on the vulnerabilities that are applicable to an attacker
possessing Basic attack potential.
The evaluator devised seven (7) penetration tests were created to verify that the TOE, in its
operational environment, is resistant to an attacker possessing a Basic attack potential.
2.6.3 Test Configuration
The test configuration is identical to that described in section 2.6.1.
2.6.4 Testing 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 overall
conclusion is that the TOE is protected against attackers possessing a Basic attack potential, under
the condition that the TOE user guidance is followed.
2.7 Re-used evaluation results
There is no re-use of evaluation results in this certification.
2.8 Evaluated Configuration
The TOE is defined uniquely by its name and version number Huawei OptiX RTN 900 Series Software
Management Component V100R019C10SPC200.
2.9 Results of the Evaluation
The evaluation lab documented their evaluation results in the [ETR], which references an ASE
Intermediate Report and other evaluator documents,
The verdict of each claimed assurance requirement is “Pass”.
Based on the above evaluation results the evaluation lab concluded the Huawei OptiX RTN 900
Series Software Management Component V100R019C10SPC200, to be CC Part 2 extended, CC
Part 3 conformant, and to meet the requirements of EAL 3 augmented with ALC_FLR.2. This
implies that the product satisfies the security requirements specified in Security Target [ST].
2.10 Comments/Recommendations
The user guidance as outlined in section 2.5 contains necessary information about the usage of the
TOE.
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.
