Cisco AnyConnect 4.7 on Android Validation Report Version 0.3, August 23, 2019 3 The TOE is the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client v4.7 for Android (herein after referred to as the VPN client, or the TOE). The TOE enables remote users within an organization to communicate securely as if their devices were directly connected to a private network. The TOE is a VPN Client software application. A virtual private network (VPN) extends the organization’s private network across a shared or public network. A VPN client establishes a IKEv2/IPsec connection to a VPN Gateway which allowing the remote user to securely connect to the organization’s private network. 3.1 TOE Description The Cisco AnyConnect TOE is a client application that provides remote users a secure VPN tunnel to protect data in transit on both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The TOE provides IPsec to authenticate and encrypt network traffic travelling across an unprotected public network. By protecting the communication from unauthorized disclosure or modification, remote users can securely connect to an organization’s network resources and applications. The TOE only works with a Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) 5500 series VPN gateway. The appropriate licenses must be installed on the ASA to permit use of AnyConnect remote access IPsec VPN. Refer to the Cisco License Management portal at http://www.cisco.com/go/license. FIPS mode must be enabled on both the ASA 5500 VPN gateway as well as the TOE application. 3.2 TOE Evaluated Configuration As a software application, the evaluated configuration is Cisco AnyConnect v4.7 installed on a Samsung Galaxy device running Android 8. Refer to the Common Criteria Administrator’s Guide for both the Samsung platform and the Cisco VPN client for instructions on installing and configuring the TOE. 3.3 Physical Scope of the TOE The TOE is a software-only VPN client application. The underlying Samsung Galaxy Android 8 platform on which the TOE resides is considered part of the IT environment 4 Security Policy This section summaries the security functionality of the TOE: 1. Cryptographic Support 2. Full Residual Information Protection 3. Identification and Authentication 4. Security Management 5. Protection of the TSF 6. Trusted Channels Cisco AnyConnect 4.7 on Android Validation Report Version 0.3, August 23, 2019 4 4.1 Cryptographic support The TOE incorporates a cryptographic module, CiscoSSL FIPS Object Module, to provide the cryptography in support of IPsec with ESP symmetric cryptography for bulk AES encryption/decryption and SHA-2 algorithm for hashing. In addition the TOE provides the cryptography to support Diffie-Hellman key exchange and derivation function used in the IKEv2 and ESP protocols. The TOE platform provides asymmetric cryptography, which is used by the TOE for IKE peer authentication using digital signature and hashing services. In addition the TOE platform provides a DRBG. The key generation function on the TOE can be invoked by the TOE platform Administrator using a MDM product. 4.2 Full residual information protection The TOE platform ensures that residual information from previously sent network packets processed through the platform are protected from being passed into subsequent network packets. 4.3 Identification and authentication The TOE and TOE platform perform device-level X.509 certificate-based authentication of the VPN Gateway during IKE v2 key exchange. Device-level authentication allows the TOE to establish a secure channel with a trusted VPN Gateway. The secure channel is established only after each endpoint successfully authenticates each other. 4.4 Security management The TOE, TOE platform, and VPN Gateway provide the management functions to configure the security functionality provided by the TOE. 4.5 Protection of the TSF The TOE performs a suite of self-tests during initial start-up to verify correct operation of its CAVP tested algorithms. Upon execution, the integrity of the TOEs software executables is also verified. The TOE Platform provides for verification of TOE software updates prior to installation. 4.6 Trusted channels The TOE’s implementation of IPsec provides a trusted channel ensuring sensitive data is protected from unauthorized disclosure or modification when transmitted from the host to a VPN gateway. 5 Assumptions The Security Problem Definition, including the assumptions, may be found in the following documents: Cisco AnyConnect 4.7 on Android Validation Report Version 0.3, August 23, 2019 5  Protection Profile for Application Software, version 1.2, April 22, 2016  PP-Module for Virtual Private Network (VPN) Clients, version 2.1, October 5, 2017 That information has not been reproduced here and the ASPP12/VPNC21 should be consulted if there is interest in that material. The scope of this evaluation was limited to the functionality and assurances covered in the ASPP12/VPNC21 as described for this TOE in the Security Target. Other functionality included in the product was not assessed as part of this evaluation. All other functionality provided by the devices needs to be assessed separately, and no further conclusions can be drawn about their effectiveness. 6 Clarification of Scope All evaluations (and all products) have limitations, as well as potential misconceptions that need clarification. This text covers some of the more important limitations and clarifications of this evaluation. Note that:  As with any evaluation, this evaluation only shows that the evaluated configuration meets the security claims made with a certain level of assurance (the assurance activities specified in the ASPP12/VPNC21 and performed by the evaluation team).  This evaluation covers only the specific device models and software as identified in this document, and not any earlier or later versions released or in process.  This evaluation did not specifically search for, nor attempt to exploit, vulnerabilities that were not “obvious” or vulnerabilities to objectives not claimed in the ST. The CEM defines an “obvious” vulnerability as one that is easily exploited with a minimum of understanding of the TOE, technical sophistication and resources.  The functionality evaluated is scoped exclusively to the security functional requirements specified in the ASPP12/VPNC21 and applicable Technical Decisions. Any additional security related functional capabilities of the TOE were not covered by this evaluation. 7 Documentation The following document was made available with the TOE for evaluation:  Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, v4.7 for Android 8 CC Configuration Guide, Version 0.3, August 2019 It is also required to set the Samsung Galaxy mobile device platform into its evaluated configuration using the following guidance: “Samsung Android 8 on Galaxy Devices Administrator Guide”, which is available for download at: https://www.niap- ccevs.org/MMO/Product/st_vid10898-agd1.pdf Any additional customer documentation provided with the product, or that may be available online was not included in the scope of the evaluation and therefore should not to be relied upon Cisco AnyConnect 4.7 on Android Validation Report Version 0.3, August 23, 2019 6 when configuring or operating the device as evaluated. Consumers are encouraged to download the configuration documentation from the NIAP website to ensure that both the client software and TOE platform are configured as evaluated. 8 IT Product Testing This section describes the testing efforts of the developer and the Evaluation Team.
