FOREWORD
The Canadian Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme (CCS) provides a
third-party evaluation service for determining the trustworthiness of Information Technology
(IT) security products. Evaluations are performed by a commercial Common Criteria
Evaluation Facility (CCEF) under the oversight of the CCS Certification Body, which is
managed by the Communications Security Establishment.
A CCEF is a commercial facility that has been approved by the CCS Certification Body to
perform Common Criteria evaluations; a significant requirement for such approval is
accreditation to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005, the General Requirements for the
Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories. Accreditation is performed under the
Program for the Accreditation of Laboratories - Canada (PALCAN), administered by the
Standards Council of Canada.
The CCEF that carried out this evaluation is CGI IT Security Evaluation & Test Facility.
By awarding a Common Criteria certificate, the CCS Certification Body asserts that the
product complies with the security requirements specified in the associated security target. A
security target is a requirements specification document that defines the scope of the
evaluation activities. The consumer of certified IT products should review the security target,
in addition to this certification report, in order to gain an understanding of any assumptions
made during the evaluation, the IT product's intended environment, the evaluated security
functionality, and the testing and analysis conducted by the CCEF.

9 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of HP BladeSystem c7000
and c3000, including the following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the HP BladeSystem c7000 and c3000 functional
specification and design documentation; they determined that the design completely and
accurately describes the TOE security functionality (TSF) interfaces, the TSF subsystems and
how the TSF implements the security functional requirements (SFRs). The evaluators
analyzed the HP BladeSystem c7000 and c3000 security architectural description and
determined that the initialization process is secure, that the security functions are protected
against tamper and bypass, and that security domains are maintained. The evaluators also
independently verified that the correspondence mappings between the design documents are
correct.
Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the HP BladeSystem c7000 and c3000
preparative user guidance and operational user guidance and determined that it sufficiently
and unambiguously describes how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated
configuration and how to use and administer the product. The evaluators examined and tested
the preparative and operational guidance, and determined that they are complete and
sufficiently detailed to result in a secure configuration.
Life-cycle support: An analysis of the HP BladeSystem c7000 and c3000 configuration
management system and associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that
the HP BladeSystem c7000 and c3000 configuration items were clearly marked.
The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of
the procedures required to maintain the integrity of HP BladeSystem c7000 and c3000 during
distribution to the consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by developer for the HP
BladeSystem c7000 and c3000. During a site visit, the evaluators also examined the evidence
generated by adherence to the procedures. The evaluators concluded that the procedures are
adequate to track and correct security flaws, and distribute the flaw information and
corrections to consumers of the product.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.

10 ITS Product Testing
Testing consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
10.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluators verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining
their test evidence, and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR1
.
The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis and found it to be complete
and accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test
documentation and the functional specification was complete.
10.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach is the
following list of test goals:
a. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests;
b. Failed Login: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that logins to OA subsystem
are delayed between failed attempts;
c. Session Timeout: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that a user’s session is
terminated due to inactivity;
d. SNMP Trap trigger: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that SNMP traps can be
sent to the SNMP due to tampering or configuration changes;
e. LDAP Authentication: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that LDAP
authentication functions as expected;
f. iLO Federation: The objective of this test goals is demonstrate that one instance of the
TOE can control another instance using iLO federation;
g. Pass-thru module: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the blade servers can
communicate to other hosts using the Pass-thru module;
h. Information Flow Control: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the VC can
control the information flow between an external host and the blade server; and
i. UEFI/RBSU access: The objective of this test goal is to confirm that the authentication is
required for the iLO UEFI/RBSU interface.

10.3 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and all
evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted.
The penetration tests focused on:
a. Use of automated vulnerability scanning tools to discover potential network, platform and
application layer vulnerabilities; and
b. Big 5 scan: The objective of this test goal is to scan for the current "Big 5"
vulnerabilities (Heartbleed, Shellshock, POODLE, GHOST, and FREAK).
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
intended operating environment.
10.4 Conduct of Testing
HP BladeSystem c7000 and c3000 was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally
documented, independent functional and penetration tests. The detailed testing activities,
including configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed results are
documented in a separate Test Results document.
10.5 Testing Results
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests yielded the expected results,
providing assurance that HP BladeSystem c7000 and c3000 behaves as specified in its ST
and functional specification.
11 Results of the Evaluation
This evaluation has provided the basis for a EAL 2+ level of assurance. The overall verdict
for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in the ETR.
12 Evaluator Comments, Observations and Recommendations
The evaluator recommends the customer to subscribe to HP Security Bulletins notification in
order to minimize exploitability of the TOE due to new vulnerabilities.
