Foreword
The Netherlands Scheme for Certification in the Area of IT Security (NSCIB) provides a third-party
evaluation and certification service for determining the trustworthiness of Information Technology (IT)
security products. Under this NSCIB, TrustCB B.V. has the task of issuing certificates for IT security
products, as well as for protection profiles and sites.
Part of the procedure is the technical examination (evaluation) of the product, protection profile or site
according to the Common Criteria assessment guidelines published by the NSCIB. Evaluations are
performed by an IT Security Evaluation Facility (ITSEF) under the oversight of the NSCIB Certification
Body, which is operated by TrustCB B.V. in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom
Relations.
An ITSEF in the Netherlands is a commercial facility that has been licensed by TrustCB B.V. to
perform Common Criteria evaluations; a significant requirement for such a licence is accreditation to
the requirements of ISO Standard 17025 “General requirements for the accreditation of calibration and
testing laboratories”.
By awarding a Common Criteria certificate, TrustCB B.V. asserts that the product or site complies with
the security requirements specified in the associated (site) security target, or that the protection profile
(PP) complies with the requirements for PP evaluation specified in the Common Criteria for
Information Security Evaluation. A (site) security target is a requirements specification document that
defines the scope of the evaluation activities.
The consumer should review the (site) security target or protection profile, in addition to this
certification report, to gain an understanding of any assumptions made during the evaluation, the IT
product's intended environment, its security requirements, and the level of confidence (i.e., the
evaluation assurance level) that the product or site satisfies the security requirements stated in the
(site) security target.

Recognition of the Certificate
Presence of the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA) logo on the certificate indicates
that this certificate is issued in accordance with the provisions of the CCRA Mutual Recognition
Agreement (CCRA MRA) and will be recognised by the participating nations.
International recognition
The CCRA was signed by the Netherlands in May 2000 and provides mutual recognition of certificates
based on the Common Criteria (CC). Since September 2014 the CCRA has been updated to provide
mutual recognition of certificates based on cPPs (exact use) or STs with evaluation assurance
components up to and including EAL2+ALC_FLR.

act as the sponsor of the evaluation and certification. A Certification Report is intended to assist
prospective consumers when judging the suitability of the IT security properties of the product for their
particular requirements.
The TOE are used to satisfy the requirements for networks of various scales. They are deployed at the
edge of Metropolitan Area Networks or at access sites that process heavy traffic to implement multi-
service acces.
The TOE has been evaluated by SGS Brightsight B.V. located in Delft, The Netherlands. The
evaluation was completed on 05 July 2023 with the approval of the ETR. The certification procedure
has been conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Netherlands Scheme for Certification in
the Area of IT Security [NSCIB].
The scope of the evaluation is defined by the security target [ST], which identifies assumptions made
during the evaluation, the intended environment for the Huawei A800 Series Routers
V800R022C00SPC600, the security requirements, and the level of confidence (evaluation assurance
level) at which the product is intended to satisfy the security requirements. Consumers of the Huawei
A800 Series Routers V800R022C00SPC600 are advised to verify that their own environment is
consistent with the security target, and to give due consideration to the comments, observations and
recommendations in this certification report.

2 Certification Results
2.1 Identification of Target of Evaluation
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) for this evaluation is the Huawei A800 Series Routers
V800R022C00SPC600 from Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. located in Dongguan, P.R.C..
The TOE is comprised of the following main components:
Delivery
item type
Identifier Version
Hardware A811 n/a
A821 n/a
Software A800 Router V800R022C00SPC600 V800R022C00SPC600
To ensure secure usage a set of guidance documents is provided, together with the Huawei A800
Series Routers V800R022C00SPC600. For details, see section 2.5 “Documentation” of this report.
2.2 Security Policy
The TOE supports the following security functionality:
• The TOE supports username/password, or public-key authentication mode and only users that
are authenticated can access the TOE and its command line interface.
• The TOE is accessed by CLI locally or a NMS remotely over SSH so that a secure channel is
established to protect the data between TOE and NMS.
• For secure transmission of audit information between the TOE and the Syslog server a secure
TLS channel is used.
• The TOE supports digital signature verification for software. Each of the software package or
patch package released by Huawei includes a unique digital signature. When an NMS
distributes the package to router, the TOE will verify the online digital signature before
updating. The verification of the digital signature demonstrates the integrity and authenticity of
the package. The package is only processed further after successful verification of the digital
signature, otherwise the package will be discarded without processing.
2.3 Assumptions and Clarification of Scope
2.3.1 Assumptions
The assumptions defined in the Security Target are not covered by the TOE itself. These aspects lead
to specific Security Objectives to be fulfilled by the TOE-Environment. For detailed information on the
security objectives that must be fulfilled by the TOE environment, see section 4.1 of the [ST].
2.3.2 Clarification of scope
The evaluation did not reveal any threats to the TOE that are not countered by the evaluated security
functions of the product.
2.4 Architectural Information
The logical architecture, originating from the Security Target [ST] of the TOE can be depicted as

2.6 IT Product Testing
Testing (depth, coverage, functional tests, independent testing): The evaluators examined the
developer’s testing activities documentation and verified that the developer has met their testing
responsibilities.
2.6.1 Testing approach and depth
All the evaluator defined tests are directly from the [NDcPP SD].
2.6.2 Independent penetration testing
The vulnerability assessment is performed following the guideline provided in [NDcPP] Appendix A,
based on the following hypotheses:
• Type 1: Public – Vulnerability based
• Type 2: iTC Sourced
• Type 3: Evaluation-Team Generated
• Type 4: Tool Generated
Penetration tests were created based on the vulnerabilities that are applicable to an attacker
possessing a Basic attack potential and according to [NDcPP SD] appendix A
The total test effort expended by the evaluators was 4.5 weeks. During that test campaign, 100% of
the total time was spent on logical tests.
2.6.3 Test configuration
The TOE was tested in the following configuration:
• Huawei A800 Series Routers V800R022C00SPC600 running on A821
The evaluator ran tests on the hardware model A821 only, and have verified that
• The hardware difference is not security relevant (e.g., port format)

• Only one software binary are in scope of the evaluation, thus all software security functionality
of the TOE are identical for all models
• Some special crypto tests will be performed on a special crypto library build. It is verified the
special crypto build and the crypto library used in the TOE software is identical.
2.6.4 Test results
The testing activities, including configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed
results are summarised in the [ETR], with references to the documents containing the full details.
The evaluator tests and the independent functional tests produced the expected results, giving
assurance that the TOE behaves as specified in its [ST] and functional specification.
No exploitable vulnerabilities were found with the independent penetration tests.
2.7 Reused Evaluation Results
There is no reuse of evaluation results in this certification.
2.8 Evaluated Configuration
The TOE is defined uniquely by its name and version number Huawei A800 Series Routers
V800R022C00SPC600.
2.9 Evaluation Results
The evaluation lab documented their evaluation results in the [ETR], which references an ASE
Intermediate Report and other evaluator documents.
The verdict of each claimed assurance requirement is “Pass”.
Based on the above evaluation results the evaluation lab concluded the Huawei A800 Series Routers
V800R022C00SPC600, to be CC Part 2 extended, CC Part 3 conformant, and to meet the
requirements of [NDcPP]. This implies that the product satisfies the security requirements specified in
Security Target [ST].
The Security Target claims ’exact’ conformance to the Protection Profile [NDcPP].
2.10 Comments/Recommendations
The user guidance as outlined in section 2.5 “Documentation” contains necessary information about
the usage of the TOE. Certain aspects of the TOE’s security functionality, in particular the
countermeasures against attacks, depend on accurate conformance to the user guidance of both the
software and the hardware part of the TOE. There are no particular obligations or recommendations
for the user apart from following the user guidance. Please note that the documents contain relevant
details concerning the resistance against certain attacks.
In addition, all aspects of assumptions, threats and policies as outlined in the Security Target not
covered by the TOE itself must be fulfilled by the operational environment of the TOE.
The customer or user of the product shall consider the results of the certification within his system risk
management process. For the evolution of attack methods and techniques to be covered, the
customer should define the period of time until a re-assessment for the TOE is required and thus
requested from the sponsor of the certificate.
The strength of the cryptographic algorithms and protocols was not rated in the course of this
evaluation. This specifically applies to the following proprietary or non-standard algorithms, protocols
and implementations: <none>.
