Warning
This report is designed to provide sponsors with a document enabling them to assess the
security level of a product under the conditions of use and operation defined in this report for
the evaluated version. It is also designed to provide the potential purchaser of the product with
the conditions under which he may operate or use the product so as to meet the conditions of
use for which the product has been evaluated and certified; that is why this certification report
must be read alongside the evaluated user and administration guidance, as well as with the
product security target, which presents threats, environmental assumptions and the supposed
conditions of use so that the user can judge for himself whether the product meets his needs in
terms of security objectives.
Certification does not, however, constitute a recommendation product from DCSSI (Central
Directorate for Information Systems Security), and does not guarantee that the certified
product is totally free of all exploitable vulnerabilities.

Introduction
The Certification
Security certification for information technology products and systems is governed by decree
number 2002-535 dated April, 18th 2002, and published in the "Journal Officiel de la
République Française". This decree stipulates that:
• The central information system security department draws up certification reports.
These reports indicate the features of the proposed security targets. They may include
any warnings that the authors feel the need to mention for security reasons. They may
or may not be transmitted to third parties or made public, as the principals desire
(article 7).
• The certificates issued by the Prime Minister certify that the copies of the products or
systems submitted for evaluation fulfil the specified security features. They also
certify that the evaluations have been carried out in compliance with applicable rules
and standards, with the required degrees of skill and impartiality (article 8).
The procedures are available on the Internet site www.ssi.gouv.fr.

2. The evaluation
2.1. Evaluation referential
The evaluation has been performed in compliance with Common Criteria version 2.3 [CC]
and with the Common Evaluation Methodology [CEM].
In order to meet the specificities of smart cards, the [CC IC] and [CC AP] guides have been
applied.
2.2. Evaluation work
The evaluation has been performed according to the composition scheme as defined in the
guide [COMP] in order to assess that no weakness is introduced from the integration of the
software in the microcontroller already certified.
Therefore, the results of the evaluation of the microcontroller “CXD9916H3/MB94RS403
Version FR01 0001” at EAL4 level augmented with ADV_IMP.2, ALC_DVS.2,
AVA_MSU.3 and AVA_VLA.4, compliant with the [PP0002] protection profile, have been
used. This microcontroller has been certified the 26th
of May under the reference DCSSI-
2008/15 (cf. [2008/15]).
The evaluation relies on the evaluation results of the Sony FeliCa Contactless Smart Card IC
Chip RC-S960/1 product certified the 28th
of June 2007 under the reference 2007/14 (cf.
[2007/14]).
The evaluation technical report [ETR], delivered to DCSSI the 11th
of June 2008, provides
details on the work performed by the evaluation facility and assesses that all evaluation tasks
are “pass”.
2.3. Cryptographic mechanisms robustness analysis
The robustness of cryptographic mechanisms has not been analysed by DCSSI.
