Chip Handling Guide
Precaution against Electrostatic Discharge
When using semiconductor devices, ensure that the environment is protected against static electricity:
1. Wear antistatic clothes and use earth band.
2. All objects that are in direct contact with devices must be made up of materials that do not produce static
electricity.
3. Ensure that the equipment and work table are earthed.
4. Use ionizer to remove electron charge.
Contamination
Do not use semiconductor products in an environment exposed to dust or dirt adhesion.
Temperature/Humidity
Semiconductor devices are sensitive to:
 Environment
 Temperature
 Humidity
High temperature or humidity deteriorates the characteristics of semiconductor devices. Therefore, do not store or
use semiconductor devices in such conditions.
Mechanical Shock
Do not to apply excessive mechanical shock or force on semiconductor devices.
Chemical
Do not expose semiconductor devices to chemicals because exposure to chemicals leads to reactions that
deteriorate the characteristics of the devices.
Light Protection
In non- Epoxy Molding Compound (EMC) package, do not expose semiconductor IC to bright light. Exposure to
bright light causes malfunctioning of the devices. However, a few special products that utilize light or with
security functions are exempted from this guide.
Radioactive, Cosmic and X-ray
Radioactive substances, cosmic ray, or X-ray may influence semiconductor devices. These substances or rays may
cause a soft error during a device operation. Therefore, ensure to shield the semiconductor devices under
environment that may be exposed to radioactive substances, cosmic ray, or X-ray.
EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility)
Strong electromagnetic wave or magnetic field may affect the characteristic of semiconductor devices during the
operation under insufficient PCB circuit design for Electromagnetic Susceptibility (EMS).

1.2 TOE Overview and TOE Description
1.2.1 Introduction
12 The Target of Evaluation (TOE), the S3NSN4V microcontroller featuring the TORNADOTM-E
cryptographic coprocessor, is a smartcard integrated circuit which is composed of a processing unit,
security components, contact based I/O ports, hardware circuit for testing purpose during the
manufacturing process and volatile and non-volatile memories (hardware). The TOE also includes any IC
Designer/Manufacturer proprietary IC Dedicated Software as long as it physically exists in the smartcard
integrated circuit after being delivered by the IC Manufacturer. Such software (also known as IC firmware)
is used for testing purpose during the manufacturing process but also provides additional services to
facilitate the usage of the hardware and/or to provide additional services, a random number generation
library and an random number generator. The use for keyed hash operations like HMAC or similar security
critical operations involving keys and other secrets, is not subject of this TOE and requires specific security
improvements and DPA analysis including the operating system, which is not part of this TOE. However,
this functionality is intended to be used for signature generation and verification only. All other software is
called Smartcard Embedded Software and is not part of the TOE
13 The TOE consists of five sub-TSFs
 Main sub-TSF: this sub-TSF is defined as whole TSF except the sub-TSFs listed below.
 Memory access control policy sub-TSF
 Bootloader access control policy sub-TSF
 Security detector policy sub-TSF (only the detector’s reaction to security incidents)
 Non-reversibility of TEST mode policy sub-TSF
1.2.2 TOE Definition
14 The S3NSN4V single-chip CMOS micro-controller is designed and packaged specifically for "Smart Card"
applications.
15 The SC300 CPU architecture of the S3NSN4V microcontroller follows the Harvard style, that is, it has
separate program memory and data memory. Both instruction and data can be fetched simultaneously
without causing a stall, using separate paths for memory access.
16 The main security features of the S3NSN4V integrated circuit are:
 Security sensors, detectors or filters
 Shields
 Life time detector

AIS31 (German scheme) and some of ANSSI RGS requirements (French Scheme).
 The IC Dedicated Software includes:
- DTRNG FRO M library built around Hardware DTRNG FRO M together with corresponding
DTRNG FRO M application notes. This library meets some of ANSSI requirements (French
scheme) as well as PTG.2 class of BSI-AIS31 (German scheme).
17 The main hardware blocks of the S3NSN4V Integrated Circuit are described in Figure 1 below:

3 SECURITY PROBLEM DEFINITION
71 This chapter 3 contains the following sections:
3.1 Description of Assets
3.2 Threats
3.3 Organizational Security Policies
3.4 Assumptions
3.1 Description of Assets
Assets regarding the Threats
72 The assets (related to standard functionality) to be protected are
 the User Data of the Composite TOE,
 the Security IC Embedded Software stored and in operation,
 the security services provided by the TOE for the Security IC Embedded Software.
73 The user (consumer) of the TOE places value upon the assets related to high-level security concerns:
SC1 integrity of user data of the Composite TOE,
SC2 confidentiality of user data of the Composite TOE being stored in the TOE’s protected memory
areas,
SC3 correct operation of the security services provided by the TOE for the Security IC Embedded
Software.
Note the Security IC Embedded Software is user data and shall be protected while being
executed/processed and while being stored in the TOE’s protected memories.
74 The Security IC may not distinguish between user data which is public knowledge or kept confidential.
Therefore the security IC shall protect the user data of the Composite TOE in integrity and in
confidentiality if stored in protected memory areas, unless the Security IC Embedded Software chooses to
disclose or modify it.
75 In particular integrity of the Security IC Embedded Software means that it is correctly being executed
which includes the correct operation of the TOE’s functionality. Parts of the Security IC Embedded
Software which do not contain secret data or security critical source code, may not require protection from
being disclosed. Other parts of the Security IC Embedded Software may need to be kept confidential since
specific implementation details may assist an attacker.
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 3 SECURITY PROBLEM DEFINITION
31/103
76 The Protection Profile[5] requires the TOE to provide at least one security service: the generation of random
numbers by means of a physical Random Number Generator. The Security Target may require additional
security services as described in the annexe 7 of the protection profile or define TOE specific security
services. It is essential that the TOE ensures the correct operation of all security services provided by the
TOE for the Security IC Embedded Software.
77 According to the Protection Profile there is the following high-level security concern related to security
service:
SC4 deficiency of random numbers.
78 To be able to protect these assets (SC1 to SC4) the TOE shall self-protect its TSF. Critical information about
the TSF shall be protected by the development environment and the operational environment. Critical
information may include:
 logical design data, physical design data, IC Dedicated Software, and configuration data,
 Initialisation Data and Pre-personalisation Data, specific development aids, test and characterisation
related data, material for software development support, and photomasks.
79 Such information and the ability to perform manipulations assist in threatening the above assets.
80 Note that there are many ways to manipulate or disclose the user data of the Composite TOE: (i) An
attacker may manipulate the Security IC Embedded Software or the TOE. (ii) An attacker may cause
malfunctions of the TOE or abuse Test Features provided by the TOE. Such attacks usually require design
information of the TOE to be obtained. They pertain to all information about (i) the circuitry of the IC
(hardware including the physical memories), (ii) the IC Dedicated Software with the parts IC Dedicated
Test Software (if any) and IC Dedicated Support Software (if any), and (iii) the configuration data for the
TSF. The knowledge of this information may enable or support attacks on the assets. Therefore the TOE
Manufacturer must ensure that the development and production of the TOE (refer to Section 1.2.3) is secure
so that no restricted, sensitive, critical or very critical information is unintentionally made available for
attacks in the operational phase of the TOE (cf. [8] for details on assessment of knowledge of the TOE in the
vulnerability analysis).
81 The TOE Manufacturer must apply protection to support the security of the TOE. This not only pertains to
the TOE but also to all information and material exchanged with the developer of the Security IC
Embedded Software. This covers the Security IC Embedded Software itself if provided by the developer of
the Security IC Embedded Software or any authentication data required to enable the download of
software. This includes the delivery (exchange) procedures for Phase 1 and the Phases after TOE Delivery
as far as they can be controlled by the TOE Manufacturer. These aspects enforce the usage of the supporting
documents and the refinements of SAR defined in the protection profile.
82 The information and material produced and/or processed by the TOE Manufacturer in the TOE
development and production environment (Phases 2 up to TOE Delivery) can be grouped as follows:
● logical design data,
● physical design data,
● IC Dedicated Software, Initialisation Data and Pre-personalisation Data,
● Security IC Embedded Software, provided by the Security IC Embedded Software developer
and implemented by the IC manufacturer,
● specific development aids,
● test and characterisation related data,
Public

32/103
● material for software development support, and
● photomasks and products in any form
as long as they are generated, stored, or processed by the TOE Manufacturer.

ST Lite_Ver5.1 3 SECURITY PROBLEM DEFINITION
33/103
3.2 Threats
83 The following explanations help to understand the focus of the threats and objectives defined below. For
example, certain attacks are only one step towards a disclosure of assets, others may directly lead to a
compromise of the application security.
 Manipulation of user data (which includes user data and code of the Composite TOE, stored in or
processed by the Security IC) means that an attacker is able to alter a meaningful block of data. This
should be considered for the threats T.Malfunction, T.Phys-Manipulation and T.Abuse-Func
 Disclosure of user data (which may include user data and code of the Composite TOE, stored in
protected memory areas or processed by the Security IC) or TSF data means that an attacker is
realistically3F2 able to determine a meaningful block of data. This should be considered for the threats
T.Leak-Inherent, T.Phys-Probing, T.Leak-Forced and T.Abuse-Func.
 Manipulation of the TSF or TSF data means that an attacker is able to deliberately deactivate or
otherwise change the behaviour of a specific security functionality in a manner which enables
exploitation. This should be considered for the threat T.Malfunction, T.Phys-Manipulation and
T.Abuse-Func.
84 The cloning of the functional behaviour of the Security IC on its physical and command interface is the
highest level security concern in the application context. This should be considered for the threat
T.Masquerade_TOE.
85 The cloning of that functional behaviour requires to (i) develop a functional equivalent of the Security IC
Embedded Software, (ii) disclose, interpret and employ the user data of the Composite TOE stored in the
TOE, and (iii) develop and build a functional equivalent of the Security IC using the input from the
previous steps.
86 The Security IC is a platform for the Security IC Embedded Software which ensures that especially the
critical user data of the Composite TOE are stored and processed in a secure way (refer to below). The
Security IC Embedded Software must also ensure that critical user data of the Composite TOE are treated as
required in the application context. In addition, the personalisation process supported by the Security IC
Embedded Software (and perhaps by the Security IC in addition) must be secure. This last step is beyond
the scope of this security target. As a result the threat “cloning of the functional behaviour of the Security
IC on its physical and command interface” is averted by the combination of mechanisms which split into
those being evaluated according to this security target (Security IC) and those being subject to the
evaluation of the Security IC Embedded Software or Security IC and the corresponding personalisation
process. Therefore, functional cloning is indirectly covered by the security concerns and threats described
below.

Security Target:

Figure 4 Threats related to security service
91 The Security IC Embedded Software must contribute to averting the threats: At least it must not undermine
the security provided by the TOE.
92 The above security concerns are derived from considering the end-usage phase (Phase 7) since
 Phase 1 and the Phases from TOE Delivery up to the end of Phase 6 are covered by assumptions and
 the development and production environment starting with Phase 2 up to TOE Delivery are covered
by an organisational security policy.
93 The TOE’s countermeasures are designed to avert the threats described below. Nevertheless, they may be
effective in earlier phases (Phases 4 to 6).
94 The TOE is exposed to different types of influences or interactions with its outer world. Some of them may
result from using the TOE only but others may also indicate an attack. The different types of influences or
interactions are visualised in Figure 5. Due to the intended usage of the TOE all interactions are considered
as possible.
Figure 5 Interactions between the TOE and its outer world
95 An interaction with the TOE can be done through the physical interfaces (Number 7 – 9 in Figure 5) which
are realised using contacts and/or a contactless interface. Influences or interactions with the TOE also occur
through the chip surface (Number 1 – 6 in Figure 5). In Number 1 and 6 galvanic contacts are used. In
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 3 SECURITY PROBLEM DEFINITION
36/103
Number 2 and 5 the influence (arrow directed to the chip) or the measurement (arrow starts from the chip)
does not require a contact. Number 3 and 4 refer to specific situations where the TOE and its functional
behaviour is not only influenced but definite changes are made by applying mechanical, chemical and other
methods (such as 1, 2). Many attacks require a prior inspection and some reverse-engineering (Number 3).
This demonstrates the basic building blocks of attacks. A practical attack will use a combination of these
elements.
3.2.1 Standard Threats
96 The TOE shall avert the threat “Inherent Information Leakage (T.Leak-Inherent)” as specified below.
T.Leak-Inherent Inherent Information Leakage
An attacker may exploit information which is leaked from the TOE during usage
of the Security IC in order to disclose confidential user data as part of the assets.
97 No direct contact with the Security IC internals is required here. Leakage may occur through emanations,
variations in power consumption, I/O characteristics, clock frequency, or by changes in processing time
requirements. One example is the Differential Power Analysis (DPA). This leakage may be interpreted as a
covert channel transmission but is more closely related to measurement of operating parameters, which
may be derived either from direct (contact) measurements (Numbers 6 and 7 in Figure 5) or measurement
of emanations (Number 5 in Figure 5) and can then be related to the specific operation being performed.
98 The TOE shall avert the threat “Physical Probing (T.Phys-Probing)” as specified below.
T.Phys-Probing Physical Probing
An attacker may perform physical probing of the TOE in order (i) to disclose user
data while stored in protected memory areas, (ii) to disclose/reconstruct the user
data while processed or (iii) to disclose other critical information about the
operation of the TOE to enable attacks disclosing or manipulating the user data
of the Composite TOE or the Security IC Embedded Software.
99 Physical probing requires direct interaction with the Security IC internals (Numbers 5 and 6 in Figure 5).
Techniques commonly employed in IC failure analysis and IC reverse engineering efforts may be used.
Before that hardware security mechanisms and layout characteristics need to be identified (Number 3 in
Figure 5). Determination of software design including treatment of user data of the Composite TOE
may also be a pre-requisite.
100 This pertains to “measurements” using galvanic contacts or any type of charge interaction whereas
manipulations are considered under the threat “Physical Manipulation (T.Phys-Manipulation)”. The threats
“Inherent Information Leakage (T.Leak-Inherent)” and “Forced Information Leakage (T.Leak-Forced)“ may
use physical probing but require complex signal processing in addition.
101 The TOE shall avert the threat “Malfunction due to Environmental Stress (T.Malfunction)” as specified
below.
T.Malfunction Malfunction due to Environmental Stress
An attacker may cause a malfunction of TSF or of the Security IC Embedded
Software by applying environmental stress in order to (i) modify security services
of the TOE or (ii) modify functions of the Security IC Embedded Software (iii)
deactivate or affect security mechanisms of the TOE to enable attacks disclosing
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 3 SECURITY PROBLEM DEFINITION
37/103
or manipulating the user data of the Composite TOE or the Security IC
Embedded Software. This may be achieved by operating the Security IC
outside the normal operating conditions (Numbers 1, 2 and 9 in Figure 5).
102 The modification of security services of the TOE may e.g. affect the quality of random numbers provided by
the random number generator up to undetected deactivation when the random number generator does not
produce random numbers and the Security IC Embedded Software gets constant values. In another case
errors are introduced in executing the Security IC Embedded Software. To exploit this an attacker needs
information about the functional operation, e.g. to introduce a temporary failure within a register used by
the Security IC Embedded Software with light or a power glitch.
103 The TOE shall avert the threat “Physical Manipulation (T.Phys-Manipulation)” as specified below.
T.Phys-Manipulation Physical Manipulation
An attacker may physically modify the Security IC in order to (i) modify user
data of the Composite TOE, (ii) modify the Security IC Embedded Software, (iii)
modify or deactivate security services of the TOE, or (iv) modify security
mechanisms of the TOE to enable attacks disclosing or manipulating the user
data of the Composite TOE or the Security IC Embedded Software.
104 The modification may be achieved through techniques commonly employed in IC failure analysis
(Numbers 1, 2 and 4 in Figure 5) and IC reverse engineering efforts (Number 3 in Figure 5). The
modification may result in the deactivation of a security feature. Before that hardware security mechanisms
and layout characteristics need to be identified. Determination of software design including treatment of
user data of the Composite TOE may also be a pre-requisite. Changes of circuitry or data can be permanent
or temporary.
105 In contrast to malfunctions (refer to T.Malfunction) the attacker requires gathering significant knowledge
about the TOE’s internal construction here (Number 3 in Figure 5).
106 The TOE shall avert the threat “Forced Information Leakage (T.Leak-Forced)“ as specified below:
T.Leak-Forced Forced Information Leakage
An attacker may exploit information which is leaked from the TOE during usage
of the Security IC in order to disclose confidential user data of the Composite
TOE as part of the assets even if the information leakage is not inherent but
caused by the attacker.
107 This threat pertains to attacks where methods described in “Malfunction due to Environmental Stress”
(refer to T.Malfunction) and/or “Physical Manipulation” (refer to T.Phys-Manipulation) are used to cause
leakage from signals (Numbers 5, 6, 7 and 8 in Figure 5) which normally do not contain significant
information about secrets.
108 The TOE shall avert the threat “Abuse of Functionality (T.Abuse-Func)” as specified below.
T.Abuse-Func Abuse of Functionality
An attacker may use functions of the TOE which may not be used after TOE
Delivery in order to (i) disclose or manipulate user data of the Composite TOE, (ii)
manipulate (explore, bypass, deactivate or change) security services of the TOE
or (iii) manipulate (explore, bypass, deactivate or change) functions of the
Public

Security IC Embedded Software or (iv) enable an attack disclosing or
manipulating the the user data of the Composite TOE or the Security IC
Embedded Software.
3.2.2 Threats related to security services
109 The TOE shall avert the threat “Deficiency of Random Numbers (T.RND)” as specified below.
T.RND Deficiency of Random Numbers
An attacker may predict or obtain information about random numbers generated
by the TOE security service for instance because of a lack of entropy of the
random numbers provided.
An attacker may gather information about the random numbers produced by the TOE security service.
Because unpredictability is the main property of random numbers this may be a problem in case they are
used to generate cryptographic keys. The entropy provided by the random numbers must be appropriate
for the strength of the cryptographic algorithm, the key or the cryptographic variable is used for. Here the
attacker is expected to take advantage of statistical properties of the random numbers generated by the
TOE. Malfunctions or premature ageing are also considered which may assist in getting information about
random numbers.
3.2.3 Threats related to additional TOE Specific Functionality
110 The TOE shall avert the additional threat “Memory Access Violation (T.Mem-Access)” as specified below.
T.Mem-Access Memory Access Violation
Parts of the IC Smartcard Embedded Software may cause security violations by
accidentally or deliberately accessing restricted data (which may include code).
Any restrictions are defined by the security policy of the specific application
context and must be implemented by the Smartcard IC Embedded Software.
Clarification: This threat does not address the proper definition and management of the security rules
implemented by the Security IC Embedded Software, this being software design and correctness issue.This
threat addresses the reliability of the abstract machine targeted by the software implementation. To avert
the threat, the set of access rules provided by this TOE should be undefeated if operated according to the
provided guidance. The threat is not realized if the Security IC Embedded Software is designed or
implemented to grant access to restricted information. It is realized if an implemented access denial is
granted under unexpected conditions or if the execution machinery does not effectively control a controlled
access.
Here the attacker is expected to (i) take advantage of flaws in the design and/or the implementation of the
TOE memory access rules (refer to T.Abuse-Func but for functions available after TOE delivery), (ii)
introduce flaws by forcing operational conditions (refer to T.Malfunction) and/or by physical manipulation
(refer to T.Phys-Manipulation). This attacker is expected to have a high level potential of attack.
3.2.4 Threats related to Authentication of the Security IC
The TOE shall avert the threat “Masquerade the TOE (T. Masquerade_TOE)” as specified below.
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 3 SECURITY PROBLEM DEFINITION
39/103
T.Masquerade_TOE Masquerade the TOE
An attacker may threaten the property being a genuine TOE by producing a chip
which is not a genuine TOE but wrongly identifying itself as genuine TOE sample.
The threat T.Masquerade_TOE may threaten the unique identity of the TOE as described in the P.Process-
TOE or the property as being a genuine TOE without unique identity. Mitigation of masquerade requires
tightening up the identification by authentication.
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 3 SECURITY PROBLEM DEFINITION
40/103
3.2.5 Threats related to Diffusion of open samples
The TOE shall avert the threat “Diffusion of open samples(T.Open_Samples_Diffusion)” as specified below.
T.Open_Samples_Diffusion Diffusion of open samples
An attacker may get access to open samples of the TOE and use them to gain
information about the TSF (loader, memory management unit, ROM code, …). He
may also use the open samples to characterize the behavior of the IC and its
security functionalities (for example: characterization of side channel profiles,
perturbation cartography, …). The execution of a dedicated security features (for
example: execution of a DES computation without countermeasures or by de-
activating countermeasures) through the loading of an adequate code would
allow this kind of characterization and the execution of enhanced attacks on the
IC.
3.3 Organizational Security Policies

112 The IC Developer / Manufacturer must apply the policy “Identification during TOE Development and
Production (P.Process-TOE)” as specified below.
P.Process-TOE Identification during TOE Development and Production
An accurate identification must be established for the TOE. This requires that
each instantiation of the TOE carries this unique identification.
113 The accurate identification is introduced at the end of the production test in phase 3. Therefore the
production environment must support this unique identification.
114 The information and material produced and/or processed by the TOE Manufacturer in the TOE
development and production environment (Phases 2 up to TOE Delivery) can be grouped as follows:
 logical design data,
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 3 SECURITY PROBLEM DEFINITION

 physical design data,
 IC Dedicated Software, Security IC Embedded Software, Initialisation Data and Pre-personalisation
Data,
 specific development aids,
 test and characterisation related data,
 material for software development support, and
 photomasks and products in any form
as long as they are generated, stored, or processed by the TOE Manufacturer.
115 The TOE provides specific cryptographic services which can be used by the Smartcard Embedded Software.
In the following specific cryptographic services are listed which is not derived from threats identified for
the TOE’s environment because it can only be decided in the context of the smartcard applications, against
which threats the Smartcard Embedded Software will use the specific cryptographic service.
The IC Developer / Manufacturer must apply the policy “Cryptographic Service (P.Crypto-Service)” as
specified below.
P.Crypto-Service Cryptographic Services provided by the TOE
The TOE shall provide the following cryptographic services to the IC Embedded
Software:
 Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES)
 Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
Note: The IC Developer / Manufacturer must apply the organisational security policy “Limiting and
Blocking the Loader Functionality (P.Lim_Block_Loader)” applies to Loader dedicated for usage in secured
environment specified below.
P.Lim_Block_Loader Limiting and Blocking the Loader Functionality
The composite manufacturer uses the Loader for loading of Security IC
Embedded Software, user data of the Composite Product or IC Dedicated
Support Software in charge of the IC Manufacturer. He limits the capability and
blocks the availability of the Loader in order to protect stored data from
disclosure and manipulation.
The organizational security policy “Controlled usage to Loader Functionality (P.Ctlr_Loader)” applies to
Loader dedicated for usage by authorized users only.
P.Ctlr_Loader Controlled usage to Loader Functionality
Authorized user controls the usage of the Loader functionality in order to protect
stored and loaded user data from disclosure and manipulation.

3.4 Assumptions
116 The following assumptions are applicable for this Security Target:

A.Resp-Appl Treatment of user data of the
Composite TOE
BSI-PP-0084
A.Key-Function Usage of Key-dependent Functions Additional assumption defined in
the Security Target
Table 5 Assumptions
117 The intended usage of the TOE is twofold, depending on the Life Cycle Phase: (i) The Security IC
Embedded Software developer use it as a platform for the Security IC software being developed. The
Composite Product Manufacturer (and the consumer) uses it as a part of the Security IC. The Composite
Product is used in a terminal which supplies the Security IC (with power and clock) and (at least) mediates
the communication with the Security IC Embedded Software.
118 Before being delivered to the consumer the TOE is packaged. Many attacks require the TOE to be removed
from the carrier. Though this extra step adds difficulties for the attacker no specific assumptions are made
here regarding the package.
119 Appropriate “Protection during Packaging, Finishing and Personalisation (A.Process-Sec-IC)” must be
ensured after TOE Delivery up to the end of Phase 6, as well as during the delivery to Phase 7 as specified
below.
A.Process-Sec-IC Protection during Packaging, Finishing and Personalisation
It is assumed that security procedures are used after delivery of the TOE by the
TOE Manufacturer up to delivery to the end-consumer to maintain
confidentiality and integrity of the TOE and of its manufacturing and test data (to
prevent any possible copy, modification, retention, theft or unauthorised use).
This means that the Phases after TOE Delivery are assumed to be protected
appropriately.
120 The information and material produced and/or processed by the Security IC Embedded Software
Developer in Phase 1 and by the Composite Product Manufacturer can be grouped as follows:
 the Security IC Embedded Software including specifications, implementation and related
documentation,
 Pre-personalisation Data and Personalisation Data including specifications of formats and memory
areas, test related data,
 the user data of the Composite TOE and related documentation, and
 material for software development support

121 as long as they are not under the control of the TOE Manufacturer. Details must be defined in the
Protection Profile or Security Target for the evaluation of the Security IC Embedded Software and/or
Security IC.
122 The developer of the Security IC Embedded Software must ensure the appropriate usage of Security IC
while developing this software in Phase 1 as described in the (i) TOE guidance documents (refer to the
Common Criteria assurance class AGD) such as the hardware data sheet, and the hardware application
notes, and (ii) findings of the TOE evaluation reports relevant for the Security IC Embedded Software as
documented in the certification report.
123 The Security IC Embedded Software must ensure the appropriate “Treatment of user data of the Composite
TOE (A.Resp-Appl)” as specified below.
A.Resp-Appl Treatment of user data of the Composite TOE
All user data of the Composite TOE are owned by Security IC Embedded
Software. Therefore, it must be assumed that security relevant user data of the
Composite TOE (especially cryptographic keys) are treated by the Security IC
Embedded Software as defined for its specific application context.
124 The application context specifies how the user data of the Composite TOE shall be handled and protected.
The evaluation of the Security IC according to this Security Target is conducted on generalized application
context. The concrete requirements for the Security IC Embedded Software shall be defined in the
Protection Profile respective Security Target for the Security IC Embedded Software. The Security IC cannot
prevent any compromise or modification of user data of the Composite TOE by malicious Security IC
Embedded Software.
125 The developer of the Smartcard Embedded Software must ensure the appropriate “Usage of Key-
dependent Functions (A.Key-Function)” while developing this software in Phase 1 as specified below.
A.Key-Function Usage of Key-dependent Functions
Key-dependent functions (if any) shall be implemented in the Smartcard
Embedded Software in a way that they are not susceptible to leakage attacks (as
described under T.Leak-Inherent and T.Leak-Forced).
126 Note that here the routines which may compromise keys when being executed are part of the Smartcard
Embedded Software. In contrast to this the threats T.Leak-Inherent and T.Leak-Forced address (i) the
cryptographic routines which are part of the TOE and (ii) the processing of User Data including
cryptographic keys.

129 The user have the following standard high-level security goals related to the assets:
SG1 maintain the integrity user data (when being executed/processed and when being stored
in the TOE’s memories) as well as
SG2 maintain the confidentiality of user data (when being processed and when being stored in
the TOE’s protected memories).
SG3 maintain the correct operation of the security services provided by the TOE for the
Security IC Embedded Software.
130 Note, the Security IC may not distinguish between user data which are public known or kept confidential.
Therefore the security IC shall protect the user data in integrity and in confidentiality if stored in protected
memory areas, unless the Security IC Embedded Software chooses to disclose or modify it. Parts of the
Security IC Embedded Software which do not contain secret data or security critical source code, may not
require protection from being disclosed. Other parts of the Security IC Embedded Software may need kept
confidential since specific implementation details may assist an attacker.
131 These standard high-level security goals in the context of the security problem definition build the starting
point for the definition of security objectives as required by the Common Criteria (refer to Figure 8). Note
that the integrity of the TOE is a means to reach these objectives.

O.Malfunction Protection against Malfunctions
The TOE must ensure its correct operation.
The TOE must indicate or prevent its operation outside the normal operating

Remark: A malfunction of the TOE may also be caused using a direct interaction with elements on the chip
surface. This is considered as being a manipulation (refer to the objective O.Phys-Manipulation) provided
that detailed knowledge about the TOE´s internal construction is required and the attack is performed in a
controlled manner.

Table 7 Security Objectives for the Security IC Embedded Software and the operational environment
151 The development of the Security IC Embedded Software is outside the development and manufacturing of
the TOE. The Security IC Embedded Software defines the operational use of the TOE. This section describes
the security objective for the Security IC Embedded Software.
Note, in order to ensure that the TOE is used in a secure manner the Security IC Embedded Software shall
be designed so that the requirements from the following documents are met: (i) hardware data sheet for the
TOE, (ii) data sheet of the IC Dedicated Software of the TOE, (iii) TOE application notes, other guidance
documents, and (iv) findings of the TOE evaluation reports relevant for the Security IC Embedded Software
as referenced in the certification report.
152 The Security IC Embedded Software shall provide “Treatment of user data of the Composite TOE
(OE.Resp-Appl)” as specified below.
OE.Resp-Appl Treatment of user data of the Composite TOE
Security relevant user data of the Composite TOE (especially cryptographic keys)
are treated by the Security IC Embedded Software as required by the security
needs of the specific application context.
For example the Security IC Embedded Software will not disclose security relevant user data of the
Composite TOE to unauthorised users or processes when communicating with a terminal.
4.2.1 Clarification of “Treatment of User Data of the Composite TOE(OE.Resp-Appl)”
153 Regarding the cryptographic services this objective of the environment has to be clarified. By definition
cipher or plain text data and cryptographic keys are User Data. The Smartcard Embedded Software shall
treat these data appropriately, use only proper secret keys (chosen from a large key space) as input for the
cryptographic function of the TOE and use keys and functions appropriately in order to ensure the strength
of cryptographic operation.
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 4 SECURITY OBJECTIVES
53/103
154 This means that keys are treated as confidential as soon as they are generated. The keys must be unique
with a very high probability, as well as cryptographically strong. If keys are imported into the TOE and/or
derived from other keys, quality and confidentiality must be maintained. This implies that appropriate key
management has to be realised in the environment.
155 Regarding the area based access control this objective of the environment has to be clarified. The treatment
of User Data of the Composite TOE is also required when a multi-application operating system is
implemented as part of the Smartcard Embedded Software on the TOE. In this case the multi-application
operating system should not disclose security relevant user data of one application to another application
when it is processed or stored on the TOE.
4.3 Security Objectives for the Operational Environment
TOE Delivery up to the End of Phase 6
156 Appropriate “Protection during Packaging, Finishing and Personalisation (OE.Process-Sec-IC)” must be
ensured after TOE Delivery up to the end of Phases 6, as well as during the delivery to Phase 7 as specified
below.
OE.Process-Sec-IC Protection during composite product manufacturing
Security procedures shall be used after TOE Delivery up to delivery to the "end-
consumer" to maintain confidentiality and integrity of the TOE and of its
manufacturing and test data (to prevent any possible copy, modification,
retention, theft or unauthorised use).
This means that Phases after TOE Delivery up to the end of Phase 6 must be
protected appropriately.
The operational environment of the TOE shall provide “Limitation of capability and blocking the Loader
(OE.Lim_Block_Loader)” as specified below.
OE.Lim_Block_Loader Limitation of capability and blocking the Loader
The Composite Product Manufacturer will protect the Loader functionality
against misuse, limit the capability of the Loader and terminate irreversibly the
Loader after intended usage of the Loader and before the end of phase 5.
Note: To maintain the confidentiality of the data of the composite TOE, the
intended usage of the Loader is limited to the phase 5 of the life cycle.
The operational environment of the TOE shall provide “Secure communication and usage of the Loader
(OE.Loader_Usage)” as specified below.
OE.Loader_Usage Secure communication and usage of the Loader
The authorized user must support the trusted communication channel with the
TOE by confidentiality protection and authenticity proof of the data to be loaded
and fulfilling the access conditions required by the Loader
The operational environment shall provide “External entities authenticating of the TOE (OE.TOE_Auth)”.

157 The protection during packaging, finishing and personalization includes also the personalization process
and the personalization data during Phase 4, Phase 5 and Phase 6.
158 Since OE.Process-Sec-IC requires the Composite Product Manufacturer to implement those measures
assumed in A.Process-Sec-IC, the assumption is covered by this objective.

161 Since OE.Resp-Appl requires the Security IC Embedded Software to implement measures as assumed in
A.Resp-Appl, the assumption is covered by the objective.
162 The justification related to the organisational security policy “Protection during TOE Development and
Production (P.Process-TOE)” is as follows:
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 4 SECURITY OBJECTIVES
56/103
163 O.Identification requires that the TOE has to support the possibility of a unique identification. The unique
identification can be stored on the TOE. Since the unique identification is generated by the production
environment the production environment must support the integrity of the generated unique identification.
The technical and organisational security measures that ensure the security of the development
environment and production environment are evaluated based on the assurance measures that are part of
the evaluation. For a list of material produced and processed by the TOE Manufacturer refer to paragraph
44. All listed items and the associated development and production environments are subject of the
evaluation. Therefore, the organisational security policy P.Process-TOE is covered by this objective, as far as
organisational measures are concerned.
164 The justification related to the assumption “Protection during Packaging, Finishing and Personalisation
(A.Process-Sec-IC)” is as follows:
165 Since OE.Process-Sec-IC requires the Composite Product Manufacturer to implement those measures
assumed in A.Process-Sec-IC, the assumption is covered by this objective.
166 The justification related to the threats “Inherent Information Leakage (T.Leak-Inherent)”, “Physical Probing
(T.Phys-Probing)”, “Malfunction due to Environmental Stress (T.Malfunction)”, “Physical Manipulation
(T.Phys-Manipulation)”, “Forced Information Leakage (T.Leak-Forced)“, “Abuse of Functionality (T.Abuse-
Func)” and “Deficiency of Random Numbers (T.RND)” is as follows:
167 For all threats the corresponding objectives are stated in a way, which directly corresponds to the
description of the threat. It is clear from the description of each objective, that the corresponding threat is
removed if the objective is valid. More specifically, in every case the ability to use the attack method
successfully is countered, if the objective holds.
168 The justification related to the threat “Memory Access Violation (T.Mem-Access)” is as follows:
169 According to O.Mem-Access the TOE must enforce the partitioning of memory areas so that access of
software to memory areas is controlled. Any restrictions are to be defined by the Smartcard Embedded
Software. Thereby security violations caused by accidental or deliberate access to restricted data (which
may include code) can be prevented (refer to T.Mem-Access). The threat T.Mem-Access is therefore
removed if the objective is met.
170 The clarification of O.Mem-Access makes clear that it is up to the Smartcard Embedded Software to
implement the memory management scheme by appropriately administrating the TSF. The TOE shall
provide access control functions as a means to be used by the Smartcard Embedded Software. This is
further emphasised by the clarification of Treatment of User Data of the Composite TOE(OE.Resp-Appl)
which reminds that the Smartcard Embedded Software must not undermine the restrictions it defines.
Therefore, the clarifications contribute to the coverage of the threat T.Mem-Access. .
171 Compared to Smartcard IC Platform Protection Profile a clarification has been made for the security
objective “Treatment of User Data of the Composite TOE(OE.Resp-Appl)”: By definition cipher or plain text
data and cryptographic keys are User Data. So, the Smartcard Embedded Software will protect such data if
required and use keys and functions appropriately in order to ensure the strength of cryptographic
operation. Quality and confidentiality must be maintained for keys that are imported and/or derived from
other keys. This implies that appropriate key management has to be realised in the environment. That is
expressed by the assumption A.Key—Function which is covered from OE.Resp–Appl. These measures
make sure that the assumption A.Resp-Appl is still covered by the security objective OE.Resp-Appl.
172 The organisational security policy Limitation of capability and blocking the Loader (P.Lim_Block_Loader)
is directly implemented by the security objective for the TOE “Capability and availability of the Loader
(O.Cap_Avail_Loader)” and the security objective for the TOE environment “Limitation of capability and
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 4 SECURITY OBJECTIVES
57/103
blocking the Loader (OE.Lim_Block_Loader)”. The TOE security objective “Capability and availability of
the Loader” (O.Cap_Avail_Loader)” mitigates also the threat “Abuse of Functionality “ (T.Abuse-Func) if
attacker tries to misuse the Loader functionality in order to manipulate security services of the TOE
provided or depending on IC Dedicated Support Software or user data of the TOE as IC Embedded
Software, TSF data or user data of the smartcard product.
173 The organisational security policy “Controlled usage to Loader Functionality (P.Ctlr_Loader) is directly
implemented by the security objective for the TOE “Access control and authenticity for the Loader
(O.Ctrl_Auth_Loader)” and the security objective for the TOE environment “Secure communication and
usage of the Loader (OE.Loader_Usage)”.
174 The threat “Masquerade the TOE (T.Masquerade_TOE)” is directly covered by the TOE security objective
“Authentication to external entities (O.Authentication)” describing the proving part of the authentication
and the security objective for the operational environment of the TOE “External entities authenticating of
the TOE (OE.TOE_Auth)” the verifying part of the authentication.
175 The justification related to the security objectives O.TDES and O.AES is followings: Since these objectives
require the TOE to implement the same specific security functionality as required by P.Crypto-Service, the
organization security policy is covered by the objective.
176 The threat “Diffusion of open samples” (T.Open_Samples_Diffusion) is directly covered by the TOE
security objective “Protection of the confidentiality of the TSF” (O.Prot_TSF_Confidentiality) based on the
self-protection of the TOE and the authentication mechanism of the Loader. Additionally to
O.Prot_TSF_Confidentiality (Protection of the confidentiality of the TSF), T.Open_Samples_Diffusion threat
is countered by O.Leak-Inherent (Protection against Inherent Information Leakage) and O.Leak-Forced
(Protection against Forced Information Leakage) from the PP.

5.1 Definition of the Family FAU_SAS
178 To define the security functional requirements of the TOE an additional family (FAU_SAS) of the Class
FAU (Security Audit) is defined here. This family describes the functional requirements for the storage of
audit data. It has a more general approach than FAU_GEN, because it does not necessarily require the data
to be generated by the TOE itself and because it does not give specific details of the content of the audit
records.
179 The family “Audit data storage (FAU_SAS)” is specified as follows.
FAU_SAS Audit data storage
Family behaviour
This family defines functional requirements for the storage of audit data.
Component levelling
FAU_SAS.1 Requires the TOE to provide the possibility to store audit data.
Management: FAU_SAS.1
There are no management activities foreseen.

ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
61/103
6.1 Security Functional Requirements for the TOE
181 In order to define the Security Functional Requirements the Part 2 of the Common Criteria was used.
However, some Security Functional Requirements have been refined. The refinements are described below
the associated SFR. The operations completed in the ST are marked in italic font.
6.1.1 Malfunctions
182 The TOE shall meet the requirement “Limited fault tolerance (FRU_FLT.2)” as specified below.
FRU_FLT.2 Limited fault tolerance
Hierarchical to: FRU_FLT.1 Degraded fault tolerance
FRU_FLT.2.1 The TSF shall ensure the operation of all the TOE’s capabilities when the
following failures occur: exposure to operating conditions which are not detected
according to the requirement Failure with preservation of secure state (FPT_FLS.1).
Dependencies: FPT_FLS.1 Failure with preservation of secure state
Refinement: The term “failure” above means “circumstances”. The TOE prevents failures for
the “circumstances” defined above.
Application Note 13: Environmental conditions include but are not limited to power supply, clock,
and other external signals (e.g. reset signal) necessary for the TOE operation.
183 The TOE shall meet the requirement “Failure with preservation of secure state (FPT_FLS.1)” as specified
below.
FPT_FLS.1 Failure with preservation of secure state
Hierarchical to: No other components.
FPT_FLS.1.1 The TSF shall preserve a secure state when the following types of failures occur:
exposure to operating conditions which may not be tolerated according to the requirement
Limited fault tolerance (FRU_FLT.2) and where therefore a malfunction could occur.
Dependencies: No dependencies
Refinement: The term “failure” above also covers “circumstances”. The TOE prevents failures
for the “circumstances” defined above.
Application note: The secure state is maintained by TOE’s detectors. The TOE’s detectors are
monitoring the failure occurs. The failures are abnormal detectors that detect out of the
specified range. If the failures are happen, the TOE goes into secure state. This satisfies
the FPT_FLS.1 “Failure with preservation of secure state.
6.1.2 Abuse of Functionality
184 The TOE shall meet the requirement “Limited capabilities (FMT_LIM.1)” as specified below (Common
Criteria Part 2 extended).
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
62/103
FMT_LIM.1 Limited capabilities
Hierarchical to: No other components.
FMT_LIM.1.1 The TSF shall limits its capabilities so that in conjunction with “Limited
availability (FMT_LIM.2)” the following policy is enforced: Deploying Test
Features after TOE Delivery does not allow user data of the Composite TOE to be
disclosed or manipulated, TSF data to be disclosed or manipulated, software to be
reconstructed and no substantial information about construction of TSF to be gathered
which may enable other attacks.
Dependencies: FMT_LIM.2 Limited availability.
185 The TOE shall meet the requirement “Limited availability (FMT_LIM.2)” as specified below (Common
Criteria Part 2 extended).
FMT_LIM.2 Limited availability
Hierarchical to: No other components.
FMT_LIM.2.1 The TSF shall be designed in a manner that limits their availability so that in
conjunction with “Limited capabilities (FMT_LIM.1)” the following policy is
enforced: Deploying Test Features after TOE Delivery does not allow user data of the
Composite TOE to be disclosed or manipulated, TSF data to be disclosed or manipulated,
software to be reconstructed and no substantial information about construction of TSF to
be gathered which may enable other attacks.
Dependencies: FMT_LIM.1 Limited capabilities.
186 The TOE shall meet the requirement “Audit storage (FAU_SAS.1)” as specified below (Common Criteria
Part 2 extended).
FAU_SAS.1 Audit storage
Hierarchical to: No other components.
FAU_SAS.1.1 The TSF shall provide the test process before TOE Delivery with the capability to
store the Initialisation Data and/or Prepersonalisation Data and/or supplements of the
Smartcard Embedded Software in the Test ROM area.
Dependencies: No dependencies.
Application Note: The integrity and uniqueness of the unique identification of the TOE must be
supported by the development, production and test environment.
6.1.3 Physical Manipulation and Probing
187 The TOE shall meet the requirement “Stored data confidentiality (FDP_SDC.1)” as specified below.
FDP_SDC.1 Stored data confidentiality
Hierarchical to: No other components.
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
63/103
Dependencies: No dependencies.
FDP.SDC.1.1 The TSF shall ensure the confidentiality of all user data while it is stored in the
FLASH, RAM or ROM.
188 The TOE shall meet the requirement “Stored data integrity monitoring and action (FDP_SDI.2)” as specified
below.
FDP_SDI.2 Stored data integrity monitoring and action
Hierarchical to: FDP_SDI.1 Stored data integrity monitoring
Dependencies: No dependencies.
FDP_SDI.2.1 The TSF shall monitor user data stored in containers controlled by the TSF for error
on all objects, based on the following attributes: FLASH, RAM or ROM read
operation.
FDP_SDI.2.2 Upon detection of a data integrity error, the TSF shall enforce a device RESET or an
interrupt.
Application Note: This requirement is achieved by security features such internal encryption and
scrambling mechanisms.
189 The TOE shall meet the requirement “Resistance to physical attack (FPT_PHP.3)” as specified below.
FPT_PHP.3 Resistance to physical attack
Hierarchical to: No other components.
FPT_PHP.3.1 The TSF shall resist physical manipulation and physical probing to the TSF by
responding automatically such that the SFRs are always enforced.
Dependencies: No dependencies.
Refinement: The TSF will implement appropriate mechanisms to continuously counter
physical manipulation and physical probing. Due to the nature of these attacks
(especially manipulation) the TSF can by no means detect attacks on all of its
elements. Therefore, permanent protection against these attacks is required
ensuring that security functional requirements are enforced. Hence, “automatic
response” means here (i) assuming that there might be an attack at any time and
(ii) countermeasures are provided at any time.
Application Note: This requirement is achieved by security feature as the shield must be removed
and bypassed in order to perform physical intrusive attacks. The TOE makes
appropriate secure reaction to stop operation if a physical manipulation or
physical probing attack is detected. And also internal scrambling & encryption
for memories and logic area make the reverse-engineering of the TOE layout
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
64/103
unpractical. So these functionalities meet the security functional requirement of
FPT_PHP.3: Resistance to physical attack.
6.1.4 Leakage
190 The TOE shall meet the requirement “Basic internal transfer protection (FDP_ITT.1)” as specified below.
FDP_ITT.1 Basic internal transfer protection
Hierarchical to: No other components.
FDP_ITT.1.1 The TSF shall enforce the Data Processing Policy to prevent the disclosure of user
data when it is transmitted between physically-separated parts of the TOE.
Dependencies: [FDP_ACC.1 Subset access control, or FDP_IFC.1 Subset information flow
control]
Refinement: The different memories, the CPU and other functional units of the TOE (e.g. a
cryptographic co-processor) are seen as physically-separated parts of the TOE.
191 The TOE shall meet the requirement “Basic internal TSF data transfer protection (FPT_ITT.1)” as specified
below.
FPT_ITT.1 Basic internal TSF data transfer protection
Hierarchical to: No other components.
FPT_ITT.1.1 The TSF shall protect TSF data from disclosure when it is transmitted between
separate parts of the TOE.
Dependencies: No dependencies.
Refinement: The different memories, the CPU and other functional units of the TOE (e.g. a
cryptographic co-processor) are seen as separated parts of the TOE.
This requirement is equivalent to FDP_ITT.1 above but refers to TSF data instead of user data. Therefore,
it should be understood as to refer to the same Data Processing Policy defined under FDP_IFC.1 below.
192 The TOE shall meet the requirement “Subset information flow control (FDP_IFC.1)”as specified below:
FDP_IFC.1 Subset information flow control
Hierarchical to: No other components.
FDP_IFC.1.1 The TSF shall enforce the Data Processing Policy on all confidential data when they are
processed or transferred by the TOE or by the Security IC Embedded Software.
Dependencies: FDP_IFF.1 Simple security attributes
193 The following Security Function Policy (SFP) Data Processing Policy is defined for the requirement “ Subset
information flow control (FDP_IFC.1)”:
User data of the Composite TOE and TSF data shall not be accessible from the TOE except when the
Security IC Embedded Software decides to communicate the user data of the Composite TOE via an
external interface. The protection shall be applied to confidential data only but without the distinction of
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
65/103
attributes controlled by the Security IC Embedded Software.
6.1.5 Random Numbers (DTRNG FRO M)
194 The TOE shall meet the requirement “Quality metric for random numbers (FCS_RNG.1)” as specified
below (Common Criteria Part 2 extended).
FCS_RNG.1/PTG.2 Random number generation - PTG.2
Hierarchical to: No other components.
FCS_RNG.1.1/PTG.2 The TSF shall provide a physical true random number generator that implements:
(PTG.2.1) A total failure test detects a total failure of entropy source immediately when the RNG has
started. When a total failure is detected, no random numbers will be output.
(PTG.2.2) If a total failure of the entropy source occurs while the RNG is being operated, the RNG
prevents the output of any internal random number that depends on some raw random
numbers that have been generated after the total failure of the entropy source
(PTG.2.3) The online test shall detect non-tolerable statistical defects of the raw random number
sequence (i) immediately when the RNG has started, and (ii) while the RNG is being
operated. The TSF must not output any random numbers before the power-up online test
has finished successfully or when a defect has been detected.
(PTG.2.4) The online test procedure shall be effective to detect non-tolerable weaknesses of the random
numbers soon.
(PTG.2.5) The online test procedure checks the quality of the raw random number sequence. It is
triggered, externally applied upon specified internal events (i.e., crypto key generation).
The online test is suitable for detecting non-tolerable statistical defects of the statistical
properties of the raw random numbers within an acceptable period of time
FCS_RNG.1.2/PTG.2 The TSF shall provide numbers, 16-bit per number that meet:
(PTG.2.6) Test procedure A does not distinguish the internal random numbers from
output sequences of an ideal RNG.
(PTG.2.7) The average Shannon entropy per internal random bit exceeds 0.997.
Application Note: The DTRNG FRO M library comprises some functions that perform statistical
tests on the DTRNG FRO M output. If either test fails, the function returns an
error value and the DTRNG FRO M is shut down. Those functions are described
in DTRNG FRO M Application note in detail and are available to embedded
software.
Dependencies: No dependencies
FCS_RNG.1/RGS-IC Random number generation – RGS-IC
Hierarchical to: No other components.
FCS_RNG.1.1/RGS-IC The TSF shall provide a physical random number generator that implements:
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
66/103
- the rules RègleArchiGVA-1 and the recommendation RecomArchiGVA-1 of [18] ;
- total failure tests and online tests.
FCS_RNG.1.2/RGS-IC The TSF shall provide random numbers that meet the rule RègleArchiGVA-2 of [18].
Dependencies: No dependencies.
Warning: The TSF fulfils some but not all the necessary rules to comply with [18] regarding
random numbers generators (RNG). The composite product's RNG will comply
with [18] only when all the rules of §2.4 "Génération d'aléa cryptographique" of
[18] are addressed. In particular, a cryptographic post-processing must be
implemented by the composite developer.
6.1.6 Memory Access Control
195 Usage of multiple applications in one Smartcard often requires separating code and data in order to prevent
that one application can access code and/or data of another application. To support the TOE provides Area
based Memory Access Control.
196 The security service being provided is described in the Security Function Policy (SFP) Memory Access
Control Policy. The security functional requirement “Subset access control (FDP_ACC.1)” requires that this
policy is in place and defines the scope were it applies. The security functional requirement “Security
attribute based access control (FDP_ACF.1)” defines addresses security attribute usage and characteristics
of policies. It describes the rules for the function that implements the Security Function Policy (SFP) as
identified in FDP_ACC.1. The decision whether an access is permitted or not is taken based upon attributes
allocated to the software. The user software defines the attributes and memory areas. The corresponding
permission control information is evaluated “on-the-fly” by the hardware so that access is
granted/effective or denied/inoperable.
197 The security functional requirement “Static attribute initialization (FMT_MSA.3)” ensures that the default
values of security attributes are appropriately either permissive or restrictive in nature. Alternative values
can be specified by any subject provided that the Memory Access Control Policy allows that. This is
described by the security functional requirement “Management of security attributes (FMT_MSA.1)”. The
attributes are determined during TOE manufacturing (FMT_MSA.3) or set at run-time (FMT_MSA.1).
198 From TOE´s point of view the different roles in the user software can be distinguished according to the
memory based access control. However the definition of the roles belongs to the user software.
199 The following Security Function Policy (SFP) Memory Access Control Policy is defined for the requirement
“Security attribute based access control (FDP_ACF.1)”:
Memory Access Control Policy
The TOE shall control read, write, delete, and execute accesses of software
running at between two different modes (privilege and user mode) on data
including code stored in memory areas.
Public

67/103
The TOE shall restrict the ability to define, to change or at least to finally accept
the applied rules (as mentioned in FDP_ACF.1) to software with privilege mode).
200 The TOE shall meet the requirement “Subset access control (FDP_ACC.1)” as specified below.
FDP_ACC.1 Subset access control
Hierarchical to: No other components.
FDP_ACC.1.1 The TSF shall enforce the Memory Access Control Policy on all subjects (software
with privilege mode and user mode), all objects (data including code stored in memories)
and all the operations defined in the Memory Access Control Policy.
Subjects are software codes in Privilege and User mode.
Objects are data stored in ROM, RAM and FLASH memories.
Dependencies: FDP_ACF.1 Security attribute based access control
The TOE shall meet the requirement “Security attribute based access control (FDP_ACF.1)” as specified
below.
FDP_ACF.1 Security attribute based access control
The attributes are all the operations related to the data stored in memories, which
are the read, write and execute operations.
Hierarchical to: No other components.
FDP_ACF.1.1 The TSF shall enforce the Memory Access Control Policy to objects based on the
memory area where the software is executed from and/or the memory area where the access
is performed to and/or the operation to be performed.
FDP_ACF.1.2 The TSF shall enforce the following rules to determine if an operation among
controlled subjects and controlled objects is allowed: evaluate the corresponding
permission control information before the access so that accesses to be denied cannot be
utilised by the subject attempting to perform the operation.
FDP_ACF.1.3 The TSF shall explicitly authorise access of subjects to objects based on the
following additional rules: none.
FDP_ACF.1.4 The TSF shall explicitly deny access of subjects to objects based on the following
additional rules: none.
Dependencies: FDP_ACC.1 Subset access control
FMT_MSA.3 Static attribute initialisation
The TOE shall meet the requirement “Static attribute initialisation (FMT_MSA.3)” as specified below.
FMT_MSA.3 Static attribute initialisation
Hierarchical to: No other components.

FMT_MSA.3.1 The TSF shall enforce the Memory Access Control Policy to provide well defined
default values for security attributes that are used to enforce the SFP.
FMT_MSA.3.2 The TSF shall allow any subject (provided that the Memory Access Control Policy is
enforced and the necessary access is therefore allowed) to specify alternative initial
values to override the default values when an object or information is created.

change default, modify or delete the security attributes permission control information
to running at privilege mode.

FDP_IFC.1 Subset information flow control]
FMT_SMF.1 Specification of management functions

below:

functions: access the control registers of the MPU.
Dependencies: No dependencies

Table 11: Security Requirements versus Security Objectives
213 The justification related to the security objective “Protection against Inherent Information Leakage
(O.Leak-Inherent)” is as follows:
214 The refinements of the security functional requirements FPT_ITT.1 and FDP_ITT.1 together with the policy
statement in FDP_IFC.1 explicitly require the prevention of disclosure of secret data (TSF data as well as
user data) when transmitted between separate parts of the TOE or while being processed. This includes that
attackers cannot reveal such data by measurements of emanations, power consumption or other behavior of
the TOE while data are transmitted between or processed by TOE parts.
215 It is possible that the TOE needs additional support by the Security IC Embedded Software (e.g. timing
attacks are possible if the processing time of algorithms implemented in the software depends on the
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
79/103
content of secret). This support must be addressed in the Guidance Documentation. Together with this
FPT_ITT.1, FDP_ITT.1 and FDP_IFC.1 are suitable to meet the objective.
216 The justification related to the security objective “Protection against Physical Probing (O.Phys-Probing)” is
as follows:
217 The SFR FDP_SDC.1 requires the TSF to protect the confidentiality of the information of the user data
stored in specified memory areas and prevent its compromise by physical attacks bypassing the specified
interfaces for memory access. The scenario of physical probing as described for this objective is explicitly
included in the assignment chosen for the physical tampering scenarios in FPT_PHP.3. Therefore, it is clear
that this security functional requirement supports the objective.
218 It is possible that the TOE needs additional support by the Security IC Embedded Software (e. g. to send
data over certain buses only with appropriate precautions). This support must be addressed in the
Guidance Documentation. Together with this FPT_PHP.3 is suitable to meet the objective.
219 The justification related to the security objective “Protection against Malfunctions (O.Malfunction)” is as
follows:
220 The definition of this objective shows that it covers a situation, where malfunction of the TOE might be
caused by the operating conditions of the TOE (while direct manipulation of the TOE is covered O.Phys-
Manipulation). There are two possibilities in this situation: Either the operating conditions are inside the
tolerated range or at least one of them is outside of this range. The second case is covered by FPT_FLS.1,
because it states that a secure state is preserved in this case. The first case is covered by FRU_FLT.2 because
it states that the TOE operates correctly under normal (tolerated) conditions. The functions implementing
FRU_FLT.2 and FPT_FLS.1 must work independently so that their operation cannot affected by the Security
IC Embedded Software (refer to the refinement). Therefore, there is no possible instance of conditions
under O.Malfunction, which is not covered.
221 The justification related to the security objective “Protection against Physical Manipulation
(O.Phys-Manipulation)” is as follows:
222 The SFR FDP_SDI.2 requires the TSF to detect the integrity errors of the stored user data and react in case of
detected errors. The scenario of physical manipulation as described for this objective is explicitly included
in the assignment chosen for the physical tampering scenarios in FPT_PHP.3. Therefore, it is clear that this
security functional requirement supports the objective.
223 It is possible that the TOE needs additional support by the Embedded Software (for instance by
implementing FDP_SDI.1 to check data integrity with the help of appropriate checksums, refer to Section
6.1). This support must be addressed in the Guidance Documentation. Together with this FPT_PHP.3 is
suitable to meet the objective.
224 The justification related to the security objective “Protection against Forced Information Leakage
(O.Leak-Forced)“ is as follows:
225 This objective is directed against attacks, where an attacker wants to force an information leakage, which
would not occur under normal conditions. In order to achieve this the attacker has to combine a first attack
step, which modifies the behaviour of the TOE (either by exposing it to extreme operating conditions or by
directly manipulating it) with a second attack step measuring and analysing some output produced by the
TOE. The first step is prevented by the same measures which support O.Malfunction and
O.Phys-Manipulation, respectively. The requirements covering O.Leak-Inherent also support
O.Leak-Forced because they prevent the attacker from being successful if he tries the second step directly.
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
80/103
226 The justification related to the security objective “Protection against Abuse of Functionality
(O.Abuse-Func)” is as follows:
227 This objective states that abuse of functions (especially provided by the IC Dedicated Test Software, for
instance in order to read secret data) must not be possible in Phase 7 of the life-cycle. There are two
possibilities to achieve this: (i) They cannot be used by an attacker (i. e. its availability is limited) or
(ii) using them would not be of relevant use for an attacker (i. e. its capabilities are limited) since the
functions are designed in a specific way. The first possibility is specified by FMT_LIM.2 and the second one
by FMT_LIM.1. Since these requirements are combined to support the policy, which is suitable to fulfil
O.Abuse-Func, both security functional requirements together are suitable to meet the objective.
228 Other security functional requirements which prevent attackers from circumventing the functions
implementing these two security functional requirements (for instance by manipulating the hardware) also
support the objective. The relevant objectives are also listed in Table 7.
229 It was chosen to define FMT_LIM.1 and FMT_LIM.2 explicitly (not using Part 2 of the Common Criteria) for
the following reason: Though taking components from the Common Criteria catalogue makes it easier to
recognise functions, any selection from Part 2 of the Common Criteria would have made it harder for the
reader to understand the special situation meant here. As a consequence, the statement of explicit security
functional requirements was chosen to provide more clarity.
230 The justification related to the security objective “TOE Identification (O.Identification)“ is as follows:
231 Obviously the operations for FAU_SAS.1 are chosen in a way that they require the TOE to provide the
functionality needed for O.Identification. The Initialisation Data (or parts of them) are used for TOE
identification. The technical capability of the TOE to store Initialisation Data and/or Pre-personalisation
Data is provided according to FAU_SAS.1.
232 It was chosen to define FAU_SAS.1 explicitly (not using a given security functional requirement from Part 2
of the Common Criteria) for the following reason: The security functional requirement FAU_GEN.1 in Part
2 of the CC requires the TOE to generate the audit data and gives details on the content of the audit records
(for instance data and time). The possibility to use the functions in order to store security relevant data
which are generated outside of the TOE, is not covered by the family FAU_GEN or by other families in Part
2. Moreover, the TOE cannot add time information to the records, because it has no real time clock.
Therefore, the new family FAU_SAS was defined for this situation.
233 The objective must be supported by organisational and other measures, which the TOE Manufacturer has
to implement. These measures are a subset of those measures, which are examined during the evaluation of
the assurance requirements of the classes AGD and ALC.
234 The justification related to the security objective “Random Numbers (O.RND)” is as follows:
235 FCS_RNG.1 requires the TOE to provide random numbers of good quality. The metrics associated to the
DTRNG FRO M are given by the SFRs FCS_RNG.1/PTG.2, FCS_RNG.1/ RGS-IC.
236 Other security functional requirements, which prevent physical manipulation and malfunction of the TOE
(see the corresponding objectives listed in the table), support this objective because they prevent attackers
from manipulating or otherwise affecting the random number generator.
237 Random numbers are often used by the Security IC Embedded Software to generate cryptographic keys for
internal use. Therefore, the TOE must prevent the unauthorised disclosure of random numbers. Other
security functional requirements which prevent inherent leakage attacks, probing and forced leakage
attacks ensure the confidentiality of the random numbers provided by the TOE.
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
81/103
238 Depending on the functionality of specific TOEs the Security IC Embedded Software will have to support
the objective by providing runtime-tests of the random number generator. Together, these requirements
allow the TOE to provide cryptographically good random numbers and to ensure that no information
about the produced random numbers is available to an attacker.
239 It was chosen to define FCS_RNG.1 explicitly, because Part 2 of the Common Criteria does not contain
generic security functional requirements for Random Number generation. (Note, that there are security
functional requirements in Part 2 of the Common Criteria, which refer to random numbers. However, they
define requirements only for the authentication context, which is only one of the possible applications of
random numbers.)
240 The security objective “Capability and availability of the Loader (O.Cap_Avail_Loader) is directly covered
by the SFR FMT_LIM.1/Loader and FMT_LIM.2/Loader.
241 The security objective Access control and authenticity for the Loader (O.Ctrl_Auth_Loader) is covered by
the SFR as follows:
242 The SFR FDP_ACC.1/Loader defines the subjects, objects and operations of the Loader SFP enforced by the
SFR FTP_ITC.1, FDP_UCT.1, FDP_UIT.1 and FDP_ACF.1/Loader.
243 The SFR FTP_ITC.1 requires the TSF to establish a trusted channel with assured identification of its end
points and protection of the channel data from modification or disclosure.
244 The SFR FDP_UCT.1 requires the TSF to receive data protected from unauthorised disclosure.
245 The SFR FDP_UIT.1 requires the TSF to verify the integrity of the received user data.
246 The SFR FDP_ACF.1/Loader requires the TSF to implement access control for the Loader functionality.
247 The FCS_COP.1/TDES and FCS_CKM.6/TDES meet the security objective “Cryptographic service Triple-
DES (O.TDES)”.
248 The FCS_COP.1/AES and FCS_CKM.6/AES meet the security objective “Cryptographic service AES
(O.AES)”.
249 The security objective “Authentication to external entities (O.Authentication) is directly covered by the SFR
FIA_API.1.
250 The justification related to the security objective “Area based Memory Access Control (O.Mem-Access)” is
as follows:
251 The security functional requirement “Subset access control (FDP_ACC.1)” with the related Security
Function Policy (SFP) “Memory Access Control Policy” exactly require the implementation of an area based
memory access control, which is a requirement from O.Mem-Access. Therefore, FDP_ACC.1 with its SFP is
suitable to meet the security objective.
252 The security functional requirement “Static attribute initialisation (FMT_MSA.3)” requires that the TOE
provides default values for the security attributes. Since the TOE is a hardware platform these default
values are generated by the reset procedure. Therefore FMT_MSA.3 is suitable to meet the security
objective O.Mem-Access.
253 The security functional requirement “Management of security attributes (FMT_MSA.1)” requires that the
ability to change the security attributes is restricted to privileged subject(s). It ensures that the access control
required by O.Mem-Access can be realised using the functions provided by the TOE. Therefore
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
82/103
FMT_MSA.1 is suitable to meet the security objective O.Mem_Access.
254 Finally, the security functional requirement “Specification of Management Functions (FMT_SMF.1)” is used
for the specification of the management functions to be provided by the TOE as required by
O.MEM_ACCESS. Therefore, FMT_SMF.1 is suitable to meet the security objective O.Mem_Access.
255 The justification related to the security objective “Protection during Packaging, Finishing and
Personalisation (OE.Process-Sec-IC)” is as follows:
256 The Composite Product Manufacturer has to use adequate measures to fulfil OE.Process-Sec-IC. Depending
on the security needs of the application, the Security IC Embedded Software may have to support this for
instance by using appropriate authentication mechanisms for personalisation functions.
257 The security objective Protection of the confidentiality of the TSF (O.Prot_TSF_Confidentiality) is covered
by the SFR as follows:
258 The SFR FDP_ACC.1/Loader defines the subjects, objects and operations of the Loader SFP enforced by the
FDP_ACF.1/Loader.
259 The SFR FDP_ACF.1/Loader requires the TSF to implement authentication mechanism for the Protection of
the confidentiality of the TSF

Table 11 Dependencies of the Security Functional Requirements
261 Part 2 of the Common Criteria defines the dependency of FDP_IFC.1 (information flow control policy
statement) on FDP_IFF.1 (Simple security attributes). The specification of FDP_IFF.1 would not capture the
nature of the security functional requirement nor add any detail. As stated in the Data Processing Policy
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
84/103
referred to in FDP_IFC.1 there are no attributes necessary. The security functional requirement for the TOE
is sufficiently described using FDP_ITT.1 and its Data Processing Policy (FDP_IFC.1). Therefore the
dependency is considered satisfied.
262 In particular the security functional requirements providing resistance of the hardware against
manipulations (e. g. FPT_PHP.3) support all other more specific security functional requirements (e. g.
FCS_RNG.1) because they prevent an attacker from disabling or circumventing the latter. Together with the
discussion of the dependencies above this shows that the security functional requirements build a mutually
supportive whole.
263 The functional requirement FCS_CKM.1 which is dependent to FCS_COP.1/DES and FCS_COP.1/AES is
not included in this Security Target since the TOE only provides an engine for encryption and decryption.
But the Security IC Embedded Software may fulfill this requirement related to the needs of the
implemented application. The dependent requirements of FCS_COP.1/DES and FCS_COP.1/AES
concerning this function shall be fulfilled by the environment (Security IC Embedded Software)
264 The dependency FMT_SMR.1 introduced by the two components FMT_MSA.1 and FMT_MSA.3 is
considered to be satisfied because the access control specified for the intended TOE is not role-based but
enforced for each subject. Therefore, there is no need to identify roles in form of a security functional
requirement FMT_SMR.1.
265 The dependency FMT_MSA.3 of FDP_ACF.1/Loader is not be necessary. The security attributes of ROM
and Flash used to enforce the Loader SFP are fixed by the IC manufacturer. The access attribute of ROM
and Flash memory have DEFAULT value.
6.3.3 Rationale for the Assurance Requirements
266 The assurance level EAL6 and the augmentation with the requirement ASE_TSS.2 were chosen to
demonstrate that the TOE fulfills the high-level Common Criteria requirements. An assurance level of
EAL6 is required for this type of TOE since it is intended to defend against sophisticated attacks. This
evaluation assurance level was selected since it is designed to permit a developer to gain maximum
assurance from positive security engineering based on good commercial practices. In order to provide a
meaningful level of assurance that the TOE provides an adequate level of defense against such attacks, the
evaluators should have access to the low level design and all the source code.
267 In addition, the TOE security policy is formally described and its security objective i.e. the complete
memory access control is formally proved. The ASE_TSS.2 was chosen to demonstrate further assurance
extensions provided by the TOE.
6.3.3.1 ADV_SPM.1 Formal TOE Security Policy Model
268 The formally modeled security policy consists of the complete TSF access control, in particular:
 The access control to the security registers, the Flash, ROM regions and Booting memory area are
correctly enforced.
 The access control with respect to the MPU memory areas is correctly enforced, in particular:
o A data is accessible if and only if its address is included in one of the Data Memory areas and this
area has the access right (i.e. Read-only or Writing);
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
85/103
o A data is writable if and only if
 its address is included in one of the Data Memory areas and this area has the Writing
right, and
 its address is not included in any Data Memory area has the Read-only or No-Access
right;
o A code element is executable if and only if its address is included in one of the Program Memory
areas and this area has the Execute right;
o Any other access is a violation and is detected by the TSF;
 The consistency of the memory areas is correctly enforced i.e.
o All memory areas and access rights are correctly initialized at the IC reset
o Each fixed data area is completely contained in the physical memory space of its memory type:
 CRYPTO_RAM must be included in RAM space.
 SFLASH must be included in NVM space.
 The consistency of the bootloader is correctly enforced i.e.
o The mode is consist of ROM Booting and Flash Booting mode.
o Changing the Operating Mode Selection from ROM Booting mode to Flash Booting mode and
then locking the Operating Mode.
o Processing the mutual Authentication sequence.
o The attribute of ROM is changed from Accessible ROM to Inaccessible ROM.

Refinement
The following security policies and relevant security functional requirements (SFRs) are modeled by
ADV_SPM.1:
 The access control to the security registers, the special Flash, ROM regions and Booting memory
area are correctly enforced. The relevant SFRs include FDP_ACC.1/ Subset access control,
FDP_ACF.1/ Security attributes based access control, FMT_MSA.3, FMT_MSA.1 and FMT_SMF.1.
 The access control with respect to the MPU settings is correctly enforced. The relevant
SFRs include FDP_ACC.1/Subset access control and FDP_ACF.1/Security attributes
based access control.
 The consistency of security attributes is correctly enforced i.e., memory regions and
access rights are correctly initialized at the IC reset. The relevant SFRs include
FMT_MSA.3, FMT_MSA.1 and FMT_SMF.1.
 The access control to the loader is correctly enforced. The relevant SFRs include
FMT_LIM.1/Loader, FMT_LIM.2/Loader, FDP_ACC.1/Loader, FDP_ACF.1/Loader and partially
FTP_ITC.1.
 Security detector policy, including the detector’s reaction to security incidents only, is correctly
enforced. The relevant SFRs include partially FDP_SDC.1, FPT_FLS.1 and FPT_PHP.3.
 The access to the TOE’s Test Mode shall be locked. The relevant SFRs include FMT_LIM.1,
FMT_LIM.2 and partially FAU_SAS.1.
 The security objective of “Authentication to external entities” is correctly enforced. The relevant
SFR is partially FIA_API.1.
6.3.3.2 ASE_TSS.2 TOE Summary specification with architectural design summary
269 The augmentation ASE_TSS.2 is required in order to provide the potential users (e.g. the embedded
software developers) with a succinct but comprehensive explanation on the TOE security functions that
protect it against interference, logical tampering and bypass. This description is also necessary to establish
the component ASE_TSS.2 for any composed TOE.
270 This assurance component is a higher hierarchical component to EAL6. ASE_TSS.2 has two dependencies
(ASE_INT.1 and ASE_REQ.1) that both are satisfied by this TOE.
6.3.4 Security Requirements are Internally Consistent
271 The discussion of security functional requirements and assurance components in the preceding sections has
shown that mutual support and consistency are given for both groups of requirements. The arguments
given for the fact that the assurance components are adequate for the functionality of the TOE also shows
that the security functional requirements and assurance requirements support each other and that there are
no inconsistencies between these groups.
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
87/103
272 The security functional requirements FDP_SDC.1 and FDP_SDI.2 address the protection of user data in the
specified memory areas against compromise and manipulation. The security functional requirement
FPT_PHP.3 makes it harder to manipulate data. This protects the primary assets identified in Section 3.1
and other security features or functionality which use these data.
273 Though a manipulation of the TOE (refer to FPT_PHP.3) is not of great value for an attacker in itself, it can
be an important step in order to threaten the primary assets. Therefore, the security functional requirement
FPT_PHP.3 is not only required to meet the security objective O.Phys-Manipulation. Instead it protects
other security features or functions of both the TOE and the Security IC Embedded Software from being
bypassed, deactivated or changed. In particular this may pertain to the security features or functions being
specified using FDP_ITT.1, FPT_ITT.1, FPT_FLS.1, FMT_LIM.2, FCS_RNG.1, and those implemented in the
Security IC Embedded Software.
274 A malfunction of TSF (refer to FRU_FLT.2 and FPT_FLS.1) can be an important step in order to threaten the
primary assets. Therefore, the security functional requirements FRU_FLT.2 and FPT_FLS.1 are not only
required to meet the security objective O.Malfunction. Instead they protect other security features or
functions of both the TOE and the Security IC Embedded Software from being bypassed, deactivated or
changed. In particular this pertains to the security features or functions being specified using FDP_ITT.1,
FPT_ITT.1, FMT_LIM.1, FMT_LIM.2, FCS_RNG.1, and those implemented in the Security IC Embedded
Software.
275 In a forced leakage attack the methods described in “Malfunction due to Environmental Stress” (refer to
T.Malfunction) and/or “Physical Manipulation” (refer to T.Phys-Manipulation) are used to cause leakage
from signals which normally do not contain significant information about secrets. Therefore, in order to
avert the disclosure of primary assets it is important that the security functional requirements averting
leakage (FDP_ITT.1, FPT_ITT.1) and those against malfunction (FRU_FLT.2 and FPT_FLS.1) and physical
manipulation (FPT_PHP.3) are effective and bind well. The security features and functions against
malfunction ensure correct operation of other security functions (refer to above) and help to avert forced
leakage themselves in other attack scenarios. The security features and functions against physical
manipulation make it harder to manipulate the other security functions (refer to above).
276 Physical probing (refer to FPT_PHP.3) shall directly avert the disclosure of primary assets. In addition,
physical probing can be an important step in other attack scenarios if the corresponding security features or
functions use secret data. For instance the security functional requirement FMT_LIM.2 may use passwords.
Therefore, the security functional requirement FPT_PHP.3 (against probing) help to protect other security
features or functions including those being implemented in the Security IC Embedded Software. Details
depend on the implementation.
277 Leakage (refer to FDP_ITT.1, FPT_ITT.1) shall directly avert the disclosure of primary assets. In addition,
inherent leakage and forced leakage (refer to above) can be an important step in other attack scenarios if the
corresponding security features or functions use secret data. For instance the security functional
requirement FMT_LIM.2 may use passwords. Therefore, the security functional requirements FDP_ITT.1
and FPT_ITT.1 help to protect other security features or functions implemented in the Security IC
Embedded Software (FDP_ITT.1) or provided by the TOE (FPT_ITT.1). Details depend on the
implementation.
278 The user data of the Composite TOE are treated as required to meet the requirements defined for the
specific application context (refer to Treatment of user data of the Composite TOE (A.Resp-Appl)).
However, the TOE may implement additional functions. This can be a risk if their interface cannot
completely be controlled by the Security IC Embedded Software. Therefore, the security functional
requirements FMT_LIM.1 and FMT_LIM.2 are very important. They ensure that appropriate control is
applied to the interface of these functions (limited availability) and that these functions, if being usable,
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 6 IT security requirements
88/103
provide limited capabilities only.
279 The combination of the security functional requirements FMT_LIM.1 and FMT_LIM.2 ensures that
(especially after TOE Delivery) these additional functions cannot be abused by an attacker to (i) disclose or
manipulate user data of the Composite TOE, (ii) to manipulate (explore, bypass, deactivate or change)
security features or services of the TOE or of the Security IC Embedded Software or (iii) to enable other
attacks on the assets. Hereby the binding between these two security functional requirements is very
important:
280 The security functional requirement Limited Capabilities (FMT_LIM.1) must close gaps which could be left
by the control being applied to the function’s interface (Limited Availability (FMT_LIM.2)). Note that the
security feature or services which limits the availability can be bypassed, deactivated or changed by
physical manipulation or a malfunction caused by an attacker. Therefore, if Limited Availability
(FMT_LIM.2) is vulnerable, it is important to limit the capabilities of the functions in order to limit the
possible benefit for an attacker.
281 The security functional requirement Limited Availability (FMT_LIM.2) must close gaps which could result
from the fact that the function’s kernel in principle would allow to perform attacks. The TOE must limit the
availability of functions which potentially provide the capability to disclose or manipulate user data of the
Composite TOE, to manipulate security features or services of the TOE or of the Security IC Embedded
Software or to enable other attacks on the assets. Therefore, if an attacker could benefit from using such
functions, it is important to limit their availability so that an attacker is not able to use them.
282 No perfect solution to limit the capabilities (FMT_LIM.1) is required if the limited availability (FMT_LIM.2)
alone can prevent the abuse of functions. No perfect solution to limit the availability (FMT_LIM.2) is
required if the limited capabilities (FMT_LIM.1) alone can prevent the abuse of functions. Therefore, it is
correct that both requirements are defined in a way that they together provide sufficient security.
283 It is important to avert malfunctions of TSF and of security functions implemented in the Security IC
Embedded Software (refer to above). There are two security functional requirements which ensure that
malfunctions cannot be caused by exposing the TOE to environmental stress. First it must be ensured that
the TOE operates correctly within some limits (Limited fault tolerance (FRU_FLT.2)). Second the TOE must
prevent its operation outside these limits (Failure with preservation of secure state (FPT_FLS.1)). Both
security functional requirements together prevent malfunctions. The two functional requirements must
define the “limits”. Otherwise there could be some range of operating conditions which is not covered so
that malfunctions may occur. Consequently, the security functional requirements Limited fault tolerance
(FRU_FLT.2) and Failure with preservation of secure state (FPT_FLS.1) are defined in a way that they
together provide sufficient security.
284 The security functional requirements required to meet the security objectives O.Leak-Inherent, O.Phys-
Probing, O.Malfunction, O.Phys-Manipulation and O.Leak-Forced protect the cryptographic algorithms
(FCS_COP.1) and the cryptographic key generations (FCS_CKM.1). Therefore these security functional
requirements support the secure implementation and operation of FCS_COP.1 and FCS_CKM.1.
285 Parts of the Smartcard IC Embedded Software may cause security violations by accidentally or deliberately
accessing restricted data (which may include code). In order to avert the memory access violation it is
important to the security functional requirement defining the scope where the Memory Access Policy is
applied (FDP_ACC.1) and the security functional requirement defining the Memory Access
Policy(FDP_ACF.1), and the security functional requirement ensuring the default value of security
attribute(FMT_MSA.3) and the security functional requirement managing security attribute ( FMT_MSA.1)
and the security functional requirement performing security management function(FMT_SMF.1) are
effective and bind well.

286 Two refinements from the PP [5] have to be discussed here in the ST as the assurance level is increased. The
refinement for ALC_CMS from the PP [5] can even be applied at the assurance level EAL 6 augmented with
ALC_CMS.5. The assurance component ALC_CMS.4 is augmented to ALC_CMS.5 with aspects regarding
the configuration control system for the TOE. The refinement is not touched. The refinement for ADV_FSP

7.1 List of Security Functional Requirements
SFR1: FPT_FLS.1: Failure with preservation of secure state
288 The detection thresholds of TOE’s detectors are inside the operating range of the TOE. Therefore abnormal
events/failures are detected before the secure state is compromised. This allows to take User’s defined
appropriate actions by software or to immediately RESET the TOE.
289 The secure state is maintained by TOE’s detectors. The TOE’s detectors are monitoring the failure occurs. If
the failures are happen, the TOE goes into RESET state. This satisfies the FPT_FLS.1 “Failure with
preservation of secure state.”
TOE’s Detectors
290 These functions records in register the events notified by the detectors (refer to list below). The software
configures the reaction in case of detection:
● The TOE is immediately reset when an event is detected.
● Or, a special function register bit is set.
TOE’s detectors are implemented by the hardware. The detection cannot be affected or bypassed by Smartcard
Embedded Software. The reaction to the detection can be configured by the software. The influence on security
and the way how to configure it is described in details in the S3NSN4V User’s Manual. Therefore, FPT_FLS.1 is
implemented by TOE.
291 Security domains are maintained since accesses to the access-prohibited area are trapped by this access
control function.
SFR2: FRU_FLT.2: Limited fault tolerance
292 Some operating signals are filtered/regulated in order to prevent malfunction.
TOE’s Filters
293 These filters are used for preventing abnormal environment conditions from causing undefined or
unpredictable behaviour of the chip.
Integrity Checkers
294 These Integrity Checkers are used for preventing abnormal environment conditions from causing
undefined or unpredictable behaviour of the chip.
295 TOE’s filters and integrity checkers are implemented by the hardware. The filtering cannot be affected or
bypassed by Smartcard Embedded Software. The reaction to the detection can be configured by the
software. The influence on security and the way how to configure it is described in details in the S3NSN4V
User’s Manual. Therefore, FRU_FLT.2 is implemented by TOE.

92/103
SFR3: FPT_PHP.3: Resistance to physical attacks
296 This requirement is achieved by security feature as the shield must be removed and bypassed in order to
perform physical intrusive attacks. The TOE makes a reset or interrupt feature occurs to stops operation if a
physical manipulation or physical probing attack is detected. And also scrambling and encryption
mechanisms make reverse engineering of the TOE layout unpractical and protect from probing attack and
signal identification of the TOE layout unpractical. So these functionalities meet the security functional
requirement of FPT_PHP.3: Resistance to physical attack.
SFR4: FDP_ACC.1: Subset access control
297 This requirement is achieved by security register access control, invalid address access and so on.
1) Security registers access control: This security function manages access to the security control registers
through access control security attributes.
2) Invalid address access: This function detects invalid address access occurrence allowing to take
dedicated and appropriate actions.
3) Access rights for the code executed in FLASH
4) Access control for Operating state: This security function select booting memory area. User can select
ROM-BOOT or FLASH-BOOT.
5) Flash protection about Write operation: This function provides protection about flash write operation.
SFR5: FDP_ACF.1: Security attributes based access control.
298 This is covered by the Privilege and User modes of the TOE. The more information on chapter 1.2 Figure 1-
2. Privilege and User Modes basic description
SFR6: FMT_MSA.3: Static attribute initialization.
299 All Special Function Registers including MPU have DEFAULT values after Power on Reset.
The access attribute of ROM and Flash memory have DEFAULT values.
SFR7: FMT_MSA.1: Management of security attributes.
300 This is achieved with the MPU, OPRSEL feature.
The Memory Protection Unit (MPU) enables user to partition memory and set individual protection
attributes for each partition. This allows the operating system to control the memory regions accessible by a
User mode application process.
The OPRSEL enables user to ROM protection attributes. This allows the operating system to control the
ROM regions accessible by a User mode application process.
The OPRSEL enables user to FLASH and set individual protection attributes.

SFR8: FMT_SMF.1: Specification of management functions.
301 This is achieved via access to Special Function Registers of Memory Protection Unit(MPU). MPU provides
Special Function Registers which defines the base address and the limit address for a partition. The
Registers exist for Flash, and RAM. Additional Registers exist for defining the protection attribute for each
partition.
SFR9: FAU_SAS.1: Audit Storage
302 This is fulfilled by the traceability/identification data written once and for all during the TEST mode of the
manufacturing process.
1) Non-reversibility of TEST mode and NORMAL mode: This function disables the TEST mode and
enables the NORMAL mode of the TOE. This function ensures the non-reversibility of the NORMAL
mode. This function is used once during the manufacturing process.
2) TEST mode communication protocol and data commands: This function is the proprietary protocol
used to operate the chip in TEST mode. This function enforces the identification and authentication of
the TEST administrator during the test phase of the manufacturing process.
3) Functional Tests: During the manufacturing process, the operation of the TOE and the embedded
software checksum are verified. This security function ensures the correct operation of the TOE
security functions and the integrity of the embedded software.
4) Identification: During the TEST mode of manufacturing process, traceability data are written in the
non-volatile memory of the TOE. Once the TOE is switched from TEST to NORMAL mode, those
traceability data are READ ONLY and cannot be modified anymore. In particular, user can identify the
silicon chip version and the version of the device Dedicated SW parts (Test ROM code, Bootloader).
The DTRNG FRO M library is identified by the version function in the library. This enables to identify
and track the TOE during the rest of its life.
SFR10: FMT_LIM.1: Limited capabilities
303 TEST mode can be accessed only by the TEST administrator by supplying an authentication password
through a proprietary protocol. Once the TOE is changed to NORMAL mode, TEST mode functions are no
more available for NORMAL mode.
SFR11: FMT_LIM.2: Limited availabilities
304 TEST mode can be accessed only by the TEST administrator by supplying an authentication password
through a proprietary protocol. Once the TOE is changed to NORMAL mode, TEST mode commands are
no more available for NORMAL mode. Functional test during manufacturing process is only available for
TEST mode only.

shield: This requirement is achieved by security feature as the shield must be removed and bypassed in
order to perform physical intrusive attacks.
Life time detector: Life time detector detects if detector signals are modified or not.
SFR13: FDP_ITT.1: Basic internal transfer protection
306 This requirement is achieved by the combination of the TOE security features TOE features 1) to 5) as it is
unpractical to get access to internal signals and interpret them.
1) Static Address/Data scrambling for bus and memory: This function protects memory and
address/data bus from probing attacks.
2) Data encryption for bus: This function protects data bus from probing attacks.
3) Memory encryption: This security function protects the memory contents of the TOE from data
analysis on the stored data as well as on internally transmitted data.
4) Synthesizable processor core: The Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the TOE is synthesizable with glue
logic, which makes reverse engineering and signal identification more difficult.
5) De-synchronization and signal-to-noise ratio reduction mechanisms: The TOE operations can be made
asynchronous. They make a full range of intrusive (e.g. probing attacks) and non intrusive attacks (e.g.
side-channel attacks) more complex and difficult.
SFR14: FPT_ITT.1: Basic internal TSF data transfer protection
307 This requirement is achieved by the combination of the TOE security features TOE features as it is
unpractical to get access to internal signals and interpret them.
1) Static Address/Data scrambling for bus and memory: This function protects memory and
address/data bus from probing attacks.
2) Data encryption for bus: This function protects data bus from probing attacks.
3) Memory encryption: This security function protects the memory contents of the TOE from data
analysis on the stored data as well as on internally transmitted data.
4) Synthesizable processor core: The Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the TOE is synthesizable with glue
logic, which makes reverse engineering and signal identification more difficult.
5) De-synchronization and signal-to-noise ratio reduction mechanisms: The TOE operations can be made

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
312 This function supports the AES operation with 128 bit, 192bit and 256bit key size. (FCS_COP.1/AES)
SFR17: Reserved
SFR18: Limited capabilities - Loader(FMT_LIM.1/Loader)
This requirement is achieved by changing the Operating Mode Selection from ROM Booting mode to Flash
Booting mode and then locking the Operating Mode. If the chip is locked in FLASH Booting mode, the
Bootloader cannot be deployed any more. It is then not possible to use the FLASH read and write
commands of the Bootloader to read, download or modify any data or code in FLASH.
SFR19: Limited availability – Loader (FMT_LIM.2/Loader)
This requirement is achieved by changing the Operating Mode Selection from ROM Booting mode to Flash
Booting mode and then locking the Operating Mode. The Bootloader is only supported in ROM Booting
mode. In Flash Booting mode, the Bootloader doesn’t operate. If the chip is locked in FLASH booting mode,
the TSF prevents deploying the Loader functionality. The Bootloader is then disabled and user cannot
change the TOE Booting mode any more after the locking.
SFR20: Inter-TSF trusted channel (FTP_ITC.1)
This requirement is achieved by processing the Authentication sequence. This channel is only distinct from
other communication channels and provides assured identification for its end points and protection of the
channel data from modification or disclose.
SFR21: Basic data exchange confidentiality (FDP_UCT.1)
This requirement is achieved by secure writing. User data which is loaded to flash memory is encrypted
data.

This is covered by the ROM Booting(ROM Reset) and Flash Booting(Flash Reset) mode of the TOE. TOE can
be set to ROM Booting(ROM Reset) and FLASH Booting(FLASH Reset) mode domains exclusively. All
Bootloader APDU commands are accessible only in Rom Booting mode. The Flash Booting mode can not
access all Bootloader APDU commands.
SFR25: Stored data confidentiality (FDP_SDC.1)
This requirement is achieved by the combination of the TOE security features TOE features as it is
unpractical to get access to internal signals and interpret them.

3) Memory encryption: This security function protects the memory contents of the TOE from data analysis
on the stored data as well as on internally transmitted data.
4) Invalid address access: This function detects invalid address access occurrence.
5) Shield: This requirement is achieved by security feature as the shield must be removed and bypassed in
order to perform physical intrusive attacks.
6) Life time detector: Life time detector detects modifications.
7) Filters.
8) Non-reversibility of TEST and NORMAL modes: This function disables the TEST mode and enables the
NORMAL mode of the TOE. This function ensures the non-reversibility of the NORMAL mode. This
function is used once during the manufacturing process
9) Control of Booting mode: This requirement is achieved by changing the Operating Mode Selection.

7.2 Architectural Design Summary
317 The TOE claims the assurance requirement ASE_TSS.2, the security architectural information on a very high
level is included in the TSS to inform the embedded software developers on how the TOE protects itself
against interference, logical tampering and bypass.
318 Interference
319 Interference consists in interfering in the TSF in order to get access to assets.
320 Logical tampering
321 Logical tampering consists in get access to the assets by a logical means (in contrast with physical
tampering). For this TOE, logical tampering may be used on
 the access control
 the information flow control
322 The access control is enforced by the following security functions: “Security registers access control”,
“Invalid address access”, “Access rights for the code executed in FLASH”, “Access control for Operating
state”, “Flash protection about Write operation”.
323 The information flow control is enforced by the following security function “Memory Encryption”.
324 Bypass
325 Non-bypassability is a property that the security functionality of the TSF is always invoked. For this TOE,
bypassing a security function may be caused by
326 A physical perturbation on the IC: protection against this bypass if ensured by the security functions
“Static Address/Data scrambling for bus and memory”, “Synthesizable processor core”, “Detectors”,

8.1 Glossary
Application Data
All data managed by the Security IC Embedded Software in the application context. Application data comprise all
data in the final Security IC.
Composite Product Integrator
Role installing or finalising the IC Embedded Software and the applications on platform transforming the TOE
into the unpersonalised Composite Product after TOE delivery. The TOE Manufacturer may implement IC
Embedded Software delivered by the Security IC Embedded Software Developer before TOE delivery (e.g. if the
IC Embedded Software is implemented in ROM or is stored in the non-volatile memory as service provided by
the IC Manufacturer or IC Packaging Manufacturer)
Composite Product Manufacturer
The Composite Product Manufacturer has the following roles (i) the Security IC Embedded Software Developer
(Phase 1), (ii) the Composite Product Integrator (Phase 5) and (iii) the Personaliser (Phase 6). If the TOE is
delivered after Phase 3 in form of wafers or sawn wafers (dice) he has the role of the IC Packaging Manufacturer
(Phase 4) in addition.
End-consumer
User of the Composite Product in Phase 7.
IC Dedicated Software
IC proprietary software embedded in a Security IC (also known as IC firmware) and developed by the IC
Developer. Such software is required for testing purpose (IC Dedicated Test Software) but may provide additional
services to facilitate usage of the hardware and/or to provide additional services (IC Dedicated Support Software).
IC Dedicated Test Software
That part of the IC Dedicated Software (refer to above) which is used to test the TOE before TOE Delivery but
which does not provide any functionality thereafter.
IC Dedicated Support Software
That part of the IC Dedicated Software (refer to above) which provides functions after TOE Delivery. The usage of
parts of the IC Dedicated Software might be restricted to certain phases.
Initialisation Data
Initialisation Data defined by the TOE Manufacturer to identify the TOE and to keep track of the Security IC’s
production and further life-cycle phases are considered as belonging to the TSF data. These data are for instance
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 8 Annex
100/103
used for traceability and for TOE identification (identification data).
Integrated Circuit (IC)
Electronic component(s) designed to perform processing and/or memory functions.
Pre-personalisation Data
Any data supplied by the Card Manufacturer that is injected into the non-volatile memory by the Integrated
Circuits manufacturer (Phase 3). These data are for instance used for traceability and/or to secure shipment
between phases.
Security IC
Composition of the TOE, the Security IC Embedded Software, User Data and the package (the Security IC carrier).
Security IC Embedded Software
Software embedded in a Security IC and normally not being developed by the IC Designer. The Security IC
Embedded Software is designed in Phase 1 and embedded into the Security IC in Phase 3 or in later phases of the
Security IC product life-cycle. Some part of that software may actually implement a Security IC application others
may provide standard services. Nevertheless, this distinction doesn’t matter here so that the Security IC
Embedded Software can be considered as being application dependent whereas the IC Dedicated Software is
definitely not.
Security IC Product
Composite product which includes the Security Integrated Circuit (i.e. the TOE) and the Embedded Software and
is evaluated as composite target of evaluation in the sense of the Supporting Document
TOE Delivery
The period when the TOE is delivered which is either (i) after Phase 3 (or before Phase 4) if the TOE is delivered in
form of wafers or sawn wafers (dice) or (ii) after Phase 4 (or before Phase 5) if the TOE is delivered in form of
packaged products.
TOE Manufacturer
The TOE Manufacturer must ensure that all requirements for the TOE and its development and production
environment are fulfilled. The TOE Manufacturer has the following roles: (i) IC Developer (Phase 2) and (ii) IC
Manufacturer (Phase 3). If the TOE is delivered after Phase 4 in form of packaged products, he has the role of the
(iii) IC Packaging Manufacturer (Phase 4) in addition.
TSF data
Data created by and for the TOE, that might affect the operation of the TOE. This includes information about the
TOE’s configuration, if any is coded in non-volatile non-programmable memories (ROM), in specific circuitry, in
non-volatile programmable memories (for instance E2PROM) or a combination thereof.
User data
Public
ST Lite_Ver5.1 8 Annex
101/103
All data managed by the Smartcard Embedded Software in the application context. User data comprise all data in
the final Smartcard IC except the TSF data.
