1. Executive Summary
This report describes the result of the EAL1 evaluation of “Smart TV Security
Solution V6.0 for Samsung Knox” from SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS Co., Ltd. with
reference to the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation
(“CC” hereinafter)[1]. It describes the evaluation result and its soundness and
conformity.
Samsung Knox is a brand name given to a secure platform and security solutions
that are equipped with the products released from Samsung Electronics.
The evaluation of the TOE has been carried out by Korea Security Evaluation
Laboratory (KSEL) and completed on November 15, 2021. This report grounds on
the evaluation technical report (“ETR” hereinafter)[3] and the Security Target (“ST”
hereinafter)[4]. All Security Assurance Requirements (SARs) in the ST are based
only upon assurance component in CC Part 3, and the TOE satisfies the SARs of
Evaluation Assurance Level EAL1. Therefore the ST and the resulting TOE is CC
Part 3 conformant. The Security Functional Requirements (SFRs) are based only
upon functional components in CC Part 2, and the TOE satisfies the SFRs in the
ST. Therefore the ST and the resulting TOE is CC Part 2 conformant.
The Target of Evaluation (“TOE” hereinafter) is a Smart TV Security Solution that
provides security functions in the form of library by being embedded on Samsung
Smart TV. The TOE provides functions for the secure operation of Samsung Smart
TV with system (kernel of Tizen OS) integrity verification, blocking the execution of
unauthorized Web App, and blocking access to phishing sites. In addition, the TOE
also provides encryption/decryption function for data used in Web App, and updating
the database for the list of phishing sites by communicating with Update Server. The
TOE is delivered to the developers of Samsung Smart TV in the form of a library
which is a kind of software, and is not in charge of all kinds of security functions
provided in Samsung Smart TV. The TOE provides only the security function defined
in the above.
Certification Report Page 6
The TOE is a library to provide the security for the firmware of Samsung Smart
TV, and performs the role of being in charge of security function of Samsung
Smart TV. The TOE allows a secure web surfing of a Samsung Smart TV user
who accesses a web site using Web Browser by providing Phishing Site Blocking
function. In addition, by blocking the execution of unauthorized Web App, the TOE
prevents the execution of an unauthorized Web App from accessing the resource
of Samsung Smart TV. Important data used in Web App are stored securely with
encryption. With System Integrity Monitoring function, the verification on the
integrity of the system (kernel of Tizen OS) is performed to guarantee secure
operation of Samsung Smart TV. The update manager communicates with the
update server to download the update file to the smart TV and performs integrity
(digital signature) verification for the update file. TOE performs the update for the
functions (integrity result report and phishing site DB list update) that are performed
by communicating with the update server using the update file. TOE performs the
update by installing an update file downloaded from Smart TV. The TOE
communicates with an external IT entity. Communication with external IT entity
can be done in the form of a wired communication using Ethernet and a wireless
communication using Wi-Fi. Google Safe Browsing server and Update server are
external IT entities which communicate with Phishing Site Blocking function. In a
certain area, since Samsung Smart TV and update server are not interoperated,
System Integrity Monitoring function does not report the result, and Phishing Site
Blocking function is not operated. The communication with external IT entities
uses a secure communication channel that supports confidentiality and integrity
via OpenSSL provided in the operational environment. The developer can
communicate with Samsung Smart TV using the serial port when developing
applications for Smart TV using TOE. Serial port communication is not provided
to Smart TV users who are not developers.

5.2 Logical Scope of TOE
Logical scope of the TOE includes all the aspects that are included in the physical scope
of TOE. That is, all the functions provided by the library are included in the logical scope
of TOE. The following security functions are provided by the TOE
System Integrity Monitoring
The TOE periodically performs the verification on the kernel integrity of Tizen OS while
in normal operation through System Integrity Monitoring function so as to ensure safe
operation of Samsung Smart TV.
System Integrity Monitoring function can be separated into three parts: the part that starts
Certification Report Page 14
System Integrity Monitoring function on the application area of Tizen OS; the part that
does system integrity monitoring on the dynamic kernel memory area, while operating
on the kernel module area of Tizen OS, when TOE gets operated; the part that does the
system integrity monitoring on the static area while operating on the application area of
TrustWare.
The System Integrity Monitoring function that operates on application of Tizen OS starts
the monitoring process after being installed in the application area of Tizen OS, and
inserts the part that performs system integrity monitoring on the dynamic kernel memory
area into kernel as a LKM(Loadable Kernel Module) so that the monitoring function can
get operated on the kernel area of Tizen OS.
As mentioned earlier, the System Integrity Monitoring function that operates on the kernel
module area of Tizen OS performs a part of functions of TOE. Thus, this operates while
being inserted as a LKM(Loadable Kernel Module) by the System Integrity Monitoring
function that operates on the application of Tizen OS. When monitoring function starts,
this performs system integrity monitoring for dynamic kernel memory area.
The System Integrity Monitoring function that operates in the application area of
TrustWare detects whether there is any distortion or not by periodically comparing the
memory value of the static kernel memory and the original value. This also receives the
detected result from the System Integrity Monitoring function that operates on the kernel
module area of Tizen OS, and saves the result along with the result detected in static
kernel memory.
Web App Protection
The TOE provides Web App Protection function in order to prevent execution of an
unauthorized Web App in Samsung Smart TV. Samsung Smart TV can download and
Certification Report Page 15
store only the Web App provided in App Store (hereinafter “App Contents Server”)
provided by Samsung Electronics. When registering Web App in App Contents server,
Samsung Electronics registered after encrypting the Web App, and Samsung Smart TV
User can download the Web App from App Contents Server and store it on Samsung
Smart TV. In order to execute the stored Web App, the decryption process is required.
During the decryption process of the Web App, if the Web App is determined to be
modified, the execution of the relevant Web App will be blocked. The TOE uses AES
Algorithm (CTR mode) for decryption of Web App, and the 128-bit sizes of the
cryptographic key.
Data Encryption/Decryption
The TOE provides encryption/decryption function for important data used in Web App.
The TOE uses AES algorithm (CBC mode) for encryption, and the 256-bit sizes of the
cryptographic key. Data encryption and decryption can be performed in REE or TEE
according to the developer selection. The cryptographic key is derived using PBKDF2
algorithm. The Cryptographic key exists on memory after being generated, and is
destroyed after encryption/decryption operation is completed. The zeroization is used as
the cryptographic key destruction method.
Phishing Site Blocking
The TOE provides Phishing Site Blocking function in order to prevent private information
from being exposed to any risks through the access to a harmful phishing site by
Samsung Smart TV User. If Samsung Smart TV User accesses web sites using Web
Browser(Tizen Browser), Phishing Site Blocking function checks the site based on the
phishing site database stored in Smart TV. If the site is suspected for being a phishing
Certification Report Page 16
site, Google Safe Browsing service is used to check whether the relevant site is a
phishing site or not. If the relevant site is confirmed to be a phishing site, the information
of such for the site being a phishing site is informed to the user. If the user selects to
block the access to the site, the access to the phishing site is blocked to protect private
information of the user. The TOE also provides Smart TV user the ability to either disable
or enable the Phishing Site Blocking function. If a user disables to use the Phishing Site
Blocking function, the Phishing Site Blocking function is not performed. The list of
Phishing Site on the database is updated periodically through Update Server. When
communicating with the TOE and Google Safe Browsing server, the transmitted data is
protected by using TLS protocol provided by the operational environment.
Certification Report Page 17

And the guidance documents listed in this report chapter 6, [Table 4] were evaluated
with the TOE.
9. Results of the Evaluation
The evaluation facility provided the evaluation result in the ETR which references
Single Evaluation Reports for each assurance requirement and Observation
Reports. The evaluation result was based on the CC and CEM [2].
As a result of the evaluation, the verdict PASS is assigned to all assurance
components of EAL1.
9.1 Security Target Evaluation (ASE)
The ST Introduction correctly identifies the ST and the TOE, and describes the TOE
Certification Report Page 19
in a narrative way at three levels of abstraction (TOE reference, TOE overview and
TOE description), and these three descriptions are consistent with each other.
Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to ASE_INT.1.
The Conformance Claim properly describes how the ST and the TOE conform to
the CC and how the ST conforms to PPs and packages. Therefore the verdict
PASS is assigned to ASE_CCL.1.
The Security Objectives clearly define operational environment. Therefore the
verdict PASS is assigned to ASE_OBJ.1.
The ST doesn't define any extended component. Therefore the verdict PASS is
assigned to ASE_ECD.1.
The Security Requirements is defined clearly and unambiguously, and it is
internally consistent. Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to ASE_REQ.1.
The TOE Summary Specification addresses all SFRs, and it is consistent with
other narrative descriptions of the TOE. Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned
to ASE_TSS.1.
Thus, the ST is sound and internally consistent, and suitable to be use as the basis
for the TOE evaluation.
The verdict PASS is assigned to the assurance class ASE.
9.2 Life Cycle Support Evaluation (ALC)
The developer clearly identifies the TOE. Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned
to ALC_CMC.1.
The configuration management document verifies that the configuration list
includes the TOE, and the evaluation evidence. Therefore, the verdict of
ALC_CMS.1 is the Pass.
The verdict PASS is assigned to the assurance class ALC.
Certification Report Page 20
9.3 Guidance Documents Evaluation (AGD)
The procedures and steps for the secure preparation of the TOE have been
documented and result in a secure configuration. Therefore the verdict PASS is
assigned to AGD_PRE.1.
The operational user guidance describes for each user role the security functionality
and interfaces provided by the TSF, provides instructions and guidelines for the
secure use of the TOE, addresses secure procedures for all modes of operation,
facilitates prevention and detection of insecure TOE states, or it is misleading or
unreasonable. Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to AGD_OPE.1.
Thus, the guidance documents are adequately describing the user can handle the
TOE in a secure manner. The guidance documents take into account the various
types of users (e.g. those who accept, install, administrate or operate the TOE)
whose incorrect actions could adversely affect the security of the TOE or of their
own data.
The verdict PASS is assigned to the assurance class AGD.
9.4 Development Evaluation (ADV)
The functional specification provides high-level description of SFR-enforcing and
SFR-supporting TSFIs, in terms of descriptions of their parameters. Therefore, the
verdict of ADV_FSP.1 is the Pass.
Therefore, the functional specification(TSF interface description) which are
included in the development documentation, are adequate to give understanding
about how the TSF satisfies the SFRs, and how these SFRs implementation are
not damaged or bypassed.
Certification Report Page 21
The verdict PASS is assigned to the assurance class ADV.
9.5 Test Evaluation (ATE)
By independently testing a subset of the TSFI, the evaluator confirmed that the TOE
behaves as specified in the functional specification and guidance documentation.
Therefore the verdict PASS is assigned to ATE_IND.1.
Thus, the TOE behaves as described in the ST and as specified in the evaluation
evidence (described in the ADV class).
The verdict PASS is assigned to the assurance class ATE.
9.6 Vulnerability Assessment (AVA)
By penetrating testing, the evaluator confirmed that there are no easily identifiable
exploitable vulnerabilities in the operational environment of the TOE. Therefore the
verdict PASS is assigned to AVA_VAN.1.
Thus, potential vulnerabilities identified, during the evaluation of the development
and anticipated operation of the TOE or by other methods (e.g. by flaw hypotheses),
don’t allow attackers possessing less than an enhanced-basic attack potential to
violate the SFRs. The verdict PASS is assigned to the assurance class AVA.
