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, TrustCB 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 TrustCB 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 TrustCB B.V. to
perform Common Criteria evaluations; a significant requirement for such a licence 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, TrustCB 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, 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 (CCRA) and the SOG-IS logos on the
certificate indicates that this certificate is issued in accordance with the provisions of the CCRA and
the SOG-IS Mutual Recognition Agreement (SOG-IS MRA) and will be recognised by the participating
nations.
International recognition
The CCRA was signed by the Netherlands in May 2000 and provides mutual recognition of certificates
based on the Common Criteria (CC). Since 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.
For details of the current list of signatory nations and approved certification schemes, see
http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org.
European recognition
The SOG-IS MRA Version 3, effective since April 2010, provides mutual recognition in Europe of
Common Criteria and ITSEC certificates at a basic evaluation level for all products. A higher
recognition level for evaluation levels beyond EAL4 (respectively E3-basic) is provided for products
related to specific technical domains. This agreement was signed initially by Finland, France,
Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Italy joined the SOG-IS
MRA in December 2010.
For details of the current list of signatory nations, approved certification schemes and the list of
technical domains for which the higher recognition applies, see https://www.sogis.eu.

1 Executive Summary
This Certification Report states the outcome of the Common Criteria security evaluation of the
SXF1800HN/V102B. The developer of the SXF1800HN/V102B is NXP Semiconductors Germany
GmbH located in Hamburg, Germany and they also act as the sponsor of the evaluation and
certification. A Certification Report is intended to assist prospective consumers when judging the
suitability of the IT security properties of the product for their particular requirements.
The TOE implements a V2X Hardware Security Module (HSM) to be part of an Intelligent Transport
System (ITS) composed of stations (i.e. vehicles or road infrastructure components) periodically
broadcasting information as their position or particular events in their vicinity.
Such communications need to be protected to prevent the spreading of wrong information which could
cause from minor issues, as traffic disorganization, to dramatic events, as accident involving people
physical integrity.
Also, the privacy of messages preventing the tracking of vehicles/drivers by unauthorized entity is
required in several countries’ regulations.
The whole solution is based on two modules:
• V2X VCS, in charge of messages building and certificate management
• V2X HSM (SXF1800), in charge of message signatures and private keys protection
The current TOE is limited to the V2X HSM module, which in this solution is a smart card
implementing the services to be invoked by the V2X VCS.
The TOE was previously evaluated by Riscure B.V. located in Delft, The Netherlands and was certified
under the accreditation of TÜV Rheinland Nederland on 24-12-2019 (CC-19-235750). The current
evaluation of the TOE has also been conducted by Riscure B.V. and was completed on 18 December
2023 with the approval of the ETR. The certification procedure has been conducted in accordance
with the provisions of the Netherlands Scheme for Certification in the Area of IT Security [NSCIB].
Add the boxed text if appropriate:
The major changes from previous evaluations are:
The scope of certification of underlying IC and crypto library has changed from those used for the
previous certification of this TOE. The design and implementation of underlying IC and crypto library
remain the same.
The certification took into account that the security evaluation reused the evaluation results of
previously performed evaluations. A full, up-to-date vulnerability analysis has been made, as well as
renewed testing.
The scope of the evaluation is defined by the security target [ST], which identifies assumptions made
during the evaluation, the intended environment for the SXF1800HN/V102B, the security
requirements, and the level of confidence (evaluation assurance level) at which the product is
intended to satisfy the security requirements. Consumers of the SXF1800HN/V102B are advised to
verify that their own environment is consistent with the security target, and to give due consideration to
the comments, observations and recommendations in this certification report.
The results documented in the evaluation technical report [ETR] 1 for this product provide sufficient
evidence that the TOE meets the EAL4 augmented (EAL4+) assurance requirements for the evaluated
security functionality. This assurance level is augmented with ALC_DVS.2 (Sufficiency of security
measures), ALC_FLR.1 (Basic Flaw Remediation) and AVA_VAN.5 (Advanced methodical
vulnerability analysis).
The evaluation was conducted using the Common Methodology for Information Technology Security
Evaluation, Version 3.1 Revision 5 [CEM] for conformance to the Common Criteria for Information
Technology Security Evaluation, Version 3.1 Revision 5 [CC] (Parts I, II and III).
1 The Evaluation Technical Report contains information proprietary to the developer and/or the
evaluator, and is not available for public review.

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. For detailed information on the
security objectives that must be fulfilled by the TOE environment, see section 5 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 figure below depicts the current TOE physical and logical scope:
The TOE physical scope is the full integrated circuit hardware and the guidance documents.
Physical interfaces are then all included modules, in particular the memories (ROM, RAM and Flash),
CPU, internal buses, external buses (SPI) and cryptographic co-processors.
The TOE logical scope is the JCOP platform and the application layer made of two applet packages
(V2X and GS).
GlobalPlatform applet loading functionalities remains invokable and related APDUs are therefore TOE
external interface; however, their access is restricted to the NXP administrators; JavaCard APIs and
bytecodes are not invokable by any customer and are therefore not considered as external interfaces
of the TOE.
Logical interfaces are then restricted to APDUs handled by the platform and the V2X applets.

2.6 IT Product Testing
Testing (depth, coverage, functional tests, independent testing): The evaluators examined the
developer’s testing activities documentation and verified that the developer has met their testing
responsibilities.
2.6.1 Testing approach and depth
The developer has performed extensive testing on functional specification, subsystem and SFR-
enforcing module level.
All parameter choices have been addressed at least once. All boundary cases identified have been
tested explicitly, and additionally the near-boundary conditions have been covered probabilistically.
The testing was largely automated using industry standard and proprietary test suites. Test scripts
were extensively used to verify that the functions return the expected values.
The underlying hardware and crypto library test results are extendable to composite evaluations, as
the underlying platform is operated according to its guidance and the composite evaluation
requirements are met.
Amount of developer testing performed:
The tests are performed on security mechanisms, subsystem and module level with a total amount of
several thousand test scenarios.
As demonstrated by ATE_COV.2 the developer has tested all security mechanisms and TSFIs.
As demonstrated by ATE_DPT.1 the developer has tested all the TSF subsystems against the TOE
design and against the security architecture description.
For the testing performed by the evaluators, the developer has provided samples and a test
environment. The evaluators have verified the execution of a selection of the developer tests and
conducted a number of test cases designed by the evaluator.
2.6.2 Independent penetration testing
The evaluator independent penetration tests were conducted according to the following vulnerability
analysis approach:
• Consideration of Riscure attack repository, which is an internal repository of potential attacks
maintained on the basis of the expert knowledge amassed within Riscure.
• Analysis of the TOE design and implementation for resistance against the JIL attacks.
• Analysis of the TOE in its intended environment to check whether the developer vulnerability
analysis in ARC has assessed all information.

For the intial TOE, evaluators concluded that a small number of areas could be potentially vulnerable
for attackers possessing a high attack potential. Consequently, practical penetration testing was
performed using the configuration of TOE with underlying platform and crypto library.
The analysis of the subsequent update to the underlying platform and crypto library showed that
additional testing was required The total test effort expended by the evaluators was 3.5 weeks. During
that test campaign,55% of the total time was spent on Perturbation attacks and 45% on side-channel
testing.
2.6.3 Test configuration
The configuration of the sample used for independent evaluator testing and penetration testing was
the same as described in the [ST].
2.6.4 Test 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 algorithmic security level of cryptographic functionality has not been rated in this certification
process, but the current consensus on the algorithmic security level in the open domain, i.e., from the
current best cryptanalytic attacks published, has been taken into account.
2.7 Reused Evaluation Results
There is no reuse of evaluation results in this certification
There has been extensive reuse of the ALC aspects for the sites involved in the development and
production of the TOE, by use of 21 Site Technical Audit Reports.
2.8 Evaluated Configuration
The TOE is defined uniquely by its name and version number SXF1800HN/V102B.
2.9 Evaluation Results
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 SXF1800HN/V102B, to be CC
Part 2 extended, CC Part 3 conformant, and to meet the requirements of EAL 4 augmented with
ALC_DVS.2, ALC_FLR.1, AVA_VAN.5. This implies that the product satisfies the security
requirements specified in Security Target [ST].
The Security Target claims ’strict’ conformance to the Protection Profile [PP].
2.10 Comments/Recommendations
The user guidance as outlined in section 2.5 “Documentation” contains necessary information about
the usage of the TOE. Certain aspects of the TOE’s security functionality, in particular the
countermeasures against attacks, depend on accurate conformance to the user guidance of both the
software and the hardware part of the TOE. There are no particular obligations or recommendations
for the user apart from following the user guidance. Please note that the documents contain relevant
details concerning the resistance against certain attacks.
In addition, all aspects of assumptions, threats and policies as outlined in the Security Target not
covered by the TOE itself must be fulfilled by the operational environment of the TOE.
