9 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of Securonix SIP 4.0.5,
including the following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the Securonix SIP 4.0.5 functional specification and
design documentation; they determined that the design completely and accurately describes
the TOE security functionality (TSF) interfaces, the TSF subsystems and how the TSF
implements the security functional requirements (SFRs). The evaluators analyzed the
Securonix SIP 4.0.5 security architectural description and determined that the initialization
process is secure, that the security functions are protected against tamper and bypass, and that
security domains are maintained. The evaluators also independently verified that the
correspondence mappings between the design documents are correct.
Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the Securonix SIP 4.0.5 preparative user
guidance and operational user guidance and determined that it sufficiently and
unambiguously describes how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated configuration
and how to use and administer the product. The evaluators examined and tested the
preparative and operational guidance, and determined that they are complete and sufficiently
detailed to result in a secure configuration.
Life-cycle support: An analysis of the Securonix SIP 4.0.5 configuration management
system and associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the
Securonix SIP 4.0.5 configuration items were clearly marked.
The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of
the procedures required to maintain the integrity of Securonix SIP 4.0.5 during distribution to
the consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by developer for the
Securonix SIP 4.0.5. During a site visit, the evaluators also examined the evidence generated
by adherence to the procedures. The evaluators concluded that the procedures are adequate to
track and correct security flaws, and distribute the flaw information and corrections to
consumers of the product
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.

10 ITS Product Testing
Testing consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
10.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluators verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining
their test evidence, and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR1
.
The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis and found it to be complete
and accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test
documentation and the functional specification was complete.
10.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach is the
following list of test goals:
a. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests;
b. Concurrent Login Behaviour: The objective of this test goal is to determine how the
TOE responds to concurrent logins
c. Authentication Failure, Security Management, and Audit Data Generation and Review:
The objective of this test goal is to test the authentication failure, security management
and audit generation/review functionality; and
d. Audit Event Tampering: The objective of this test goal is to attempt to tamper with the
audit log.
10.3 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and all
evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted.
The penetration tests focused on:
a. Use of automated vulnerability scanning tools to discover potential network, platform and
application layer vulnerabilities.
b. Heartbleed scan: The objective of this test goal is to scan the TOE for susceptibility to
Heartbleed vulnerability;
