ARCHITECTURE
LOGICAL ARCHITECTURE
The certification of this TOE is a composite certification. The certificate of the underlying hardware
platform GSE20, which is part of this TOE, is re-used. In the following sections more detailed
descriptions of the TOE components are provided.
Security IC
The security IC, GSE20, is a high-security C040 System on Chip with ARM SC300 processor, AES,
(T)DES cryptographic engines and a GRACE2 co-processor for RSA, ECC and OSCCA crypto
operations. It contains RAM, ROM and Flash which protect the confidentiality and integrity of the
stored data, MMU for memory protection, DRNG and TRNG for random number generation and
other peripherals like DMA, I2C, ISO7816 and SPI. It also has an active shield and sensors for the
detecting physical or environmental attacks. The security IC is certified according to Common
Criteria.

PRODUCT TESTING
The developer has executed test for all the security functions. All the tests have been performed by
the developer in its premises, with a satisfactory result. During the evaluation process it has been
verified each unit test checking that the security functionality that covers is been identified and also
that the kind of test is appropriate to the function that is intended to test. All the tests have been
developed using the testing scenario appropriate to the established architecture in the security
target. It has also been checked that the obtained results during the tests fit or correspond to the
previously estimated results. To verify the results of the developer tests, the evaluator has repeated
a sample of the developer tests through a remote test witnessing session.
In addition, the lab has devised a test for each of the security function of the product verifying that
the obtained results are consistent with the results obtained by the developer. It has been checked
that the obtained results conform to the expected results and in the cases where a deviation in
respect to the expected results was present, the evaluator has confirmed that this variation neither
represents any security problem nor a decrease in the functional capacity of the product.
Through the tests performed by the Laboratory it is concluded that all the SFRs and TSFIs of the TOE
have been tested through the developer testing effort and the evaluator’s independent testing.
PENETRATION TESTING
Based on the list of potential vulnerabilities applicable to the TOE in its operational environment,
the evaluation team has devised attack scenarios for penetration tests according to JIL supporting
documents [JILAAPS] and [JILADVARC]. Within these activities all aspects of the security
architecture which were not covered by functional testing have been considered. The overall test
result is that no deviations were found between the expected and the actual test results. No attack
scenario with the attack potential High has been successful in the TOE’s operational environment as
defined in the security target when all security measures required by the developer in the security
guidance defined in DOCUMENTS section are applied.

RECOGNITION AGREEMENTS
In order to avoid multiple certifications 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.
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 SOGIS Technical Domains only.
The basic recognition level includes Common Criteria (CC) Evaluation Assurance Levels EAL 1 to EAL
4 and ITSEC Evaluation Assurance Levels E1 to E3 (basic). For "Smartcards and similar devices" a
SOGIS Technical Domain is in place. For "HW Devices with Security Boxes" a SOGIS Technical
Domains is in place, too. In addition, certificates issued for Protection Profiles based on Common
Criteria are part of the recognition agreement.
The new agreement has been signed by the national bodies of Austria, Finland, France, Germany,
Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The current list of
signatory nations and approved certification schemes, details on recognition, and the history of the
agreement can be seen on the website at https://www.sogis.eu.
The SOGIS-MRA logo printed on the certificate indicates that it is recognised under the terms of this
agreement by the nations listed above.
The certificate of this TOE is recognized under SOGIS-MRA for all assurance components selected.
International Recognition of CC – Certificates (CCRA)
The international arrangement on the mutual recognition of certificates based on the CC (Common
Criteria Recognition Arrangement, CCRA-2014) has been ratified on 08 September 2014. It covers
CC certificates based on collaborative Protection Profiles (cPP) (exact use), CC certificates based on
assurance components up to and including EAL 2 or the assurance family Flaw Remediation
(ALC_FLR) and CC certificates for Protection Profiles and for collaborative Protection Profiles (cPP).
The CCRA-2014 replaces the old CCRA signed in May 2000 (CCRA-2000). Certificates based on CCRA-
2000, issued before 08 September 2014 are still under recognition according to the rules of CCRA-
2000. For on 08 September 2014 ongoing certification procedures and for Assurance Continuity
(maintenance and re-certification)of old certificates a transition period on the recognition of
certificates according to the rules of CCRA-2000 (i.e. assurance components up to and including EAL
4 or the assurance family Flaw Remediation (ALC_FLR)) is defined until 08 September 2017.
