1. Introduction
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”) SAS 12G TCG Enterprise SSC SEDs PM1643/PM1645
Series, herein after referred to as a “cryptographic module” or “module”, SSD (Solid State
Drive), satisfies all applicable FIPS 140‐2 Security Level 2 requirements, supporting TCG Opal
SSC based SED (Self‐Encrypting Drive) features, designed to protect unauthorized access to the
user data stored in its NAND Flash memories. The built‐in AES HW engines in the cryptographic
module’s controller provide on‐the‐fly encryption and decryption of the user data without
performance loss. The SED’s nature also provides instantaneous sanitization of the user data via
cryptographic erase.

1.1. Hardware and Physical Cryptographic Boundary
The following photographs show the cryptographic module’s top and bottom views. The
multiple‐chip standalone cryptographic module consists of hardware and firmware
components that are all enclosed in two aluminum alloy cases, which serve as the
cryptographic boundary of the module. The top and bottom cases are assembled by screws and
the tamper‐evident labels are applied for the detection of any opening of the cases. No security
relevant component can be seen within the visible spectrum through the opaque enclosure.
New firmware versions within the scope of this validation must be validated through the FIPS
140‐2 CMVP. Any other firmware loaded into this module is out of the scope of this validation
and requires a separate FIPS 140‐2 validation.

6. Roles, Services and Authentication
6.1. Roles
The following table defines the roles, type of authentication, and associated authenticated data
types supported by the cryptographic module:
Role Authentication Data
CO Role Password
User Role Password
FW Loader RSA

(FIPS 140‐2 Table C1).

This non-proprietary Security Policy may only be copied in its entirety without alterations including this statement. Samsung copyright 2018
Page 28 of 39
6.2. Authentication
The authentication mechanism allows 6-byte length or longer (32-byte) Password, where each
byte can be any of 0x00 to 0xFF, for every Cryptographic Officer and User role supported by the
module, which means a single random attempt can succeed with the probability of 1/248
or lower.
Each authentication attempt takes at least 6ms and the number of attempts is limited to TryLimit,
which is set to 5 in manufacturing time. Since the module takes at least 4 seconds to be ready
after power-on and 5 authentication failures require a power-cycle, it takes 4030ms for every 5th
authentication attempt. Therefore, the probability of multiple random attempts to succeed in one
minute is 75 / 248
, which is much less than the FIPS 140-2 requirement 1/100,000.
The authentication mechanism for FW Loader role is RSA PSS-2048 with SHA256 digital
signature verification, which means a single random attempt, can succeed with the probability of
1/2112
.
Each RSA Signature Verification authentication attempt takes at least 50ms. So the number of
attempts for one minute cannot exceed 1200((60*1000)/50). Therefore, the probability of
multiple random attempts to succeed in one minute is 1200/2112
, which is much less than the
FIPS 140-2 requirement 1/100,000.

7. Physical security policy
The following physical security mechanisms are implemented in a cryptographic module:
• The Module consists of production-grade components enclosed in an aluminum alloy
enclosure, which is opaque within the visible spectrum. The top panel of the enclosure can be
removed by unscrewing screws. However, the module is sealed with tamper-evident labels in
accordance with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Physical Security requirements so that tampering is easily
detected when the top and bottom cases are detached.
• 2 tamper-evident labels are applied over both top and bottom cases of the module at the
factory. The tamper-evident labels are not removed and reapplied without tamper evidence.
The following table summarizes the actions required by the Cryptographic Officer Role to ensure
that physical security is maintained:

Recommended
Frequency of
Inspection/Test
Inspection/Test Guidance Details

As often as feasible
Inspect the entire perimeter for cracks,
gouges, lack of screw(s) and other signs of
tampering. Remove from service if
tampering found.
Tamper-evident
Sealing Labels
Inspect the sealing labels for scratches,
gouges, cuts and other signs of tampering.
Remove from service if tampering found.

10. Security rules
The following specifies the security rules under which the cryptographic module shall operate in
accordance with FIPS 140-2:
 The cryptographic module operates always in FIPS Mode once shipped from the
vendor's manufacturing site.
 The steps necessary for the secure installation, initialization and start-up of the
cryptographic module as per FIPS 140-2 VE10.03.01 are as follows:
10.1. Secure Installation
o Step1. User should examine the tamper evidence
 Inspect the entire perimeter for cracks, gouges, lack of screw(s) and
other signs of tampering including the tamper evident sealing label.
 If there is any sign of tampering, do not use the product and contact
Samsung.
o Step2. Identify the firmware version in the device
 Confirm that the firmware version is equivalent to the version(s)
listed in this document via SCSI Inquiry command.
o Step3. Take the drive’s ownership
 Change SID’s PIN by setting a new PIN
 Change EraseMaster’s PIN by setting a new PIN
 Erase Method on each LBA Range to rekey the encryption key
 Change BandMaster0~7’s PIN by setting new PINs
 Configure the LBA Range(s) by setting ReadLockEnabled and
WriteLockEnabled columns to True
 Don’t change LockOnReset column in Locking Table so that the
drive always gets locked after a power cycle
o Step4. Configure FW download and Diagnostic features
 Disable Makers Class using SID Authority to disable FW
download and Diagnostic features
 Enable Makers Class only when FW download and Diagnostic
features are needed
o Step5. Periodically examine the tamper evidence
 If there is any sign of tampering, stop using the product to avoid a
potential security hazard or information leakage.

10.2. Operational description of Module
 The cryptographic module shall maintain logical separation of data input,
data output, control input, status output, and power.
 The cryptographic module shall not output CSPs in any form.
 The cryptographic module shall use the Approved DRBG for generating all
cryptographic keys.
 The cryptographic module shall enforce role-based authentication for
security relevant services.
 The cryptographic module shall enforce a limited operational environment
by the secure firmware load test using RSA PSS-2048 with SHA-256.
 The cryptographic module shall provide a production-grade, opaque, and
tamper-evident cryptographic boundary.
 The cryptographic module enters the error state upon failure of Self-tests. All
commands from the Host (General Purpose Computer (GPC) outside the
cryptographic boundary) are rejected in the error state and the cryptographic
module returns a sense key (0x4) via the status output. Cryptographic
services and data output are explicitly inhibited when in the error state.
 The cryptographic module satisfies the requirements of FIPS 140-2 IG A.9
(i.e. key_1 ≠ key_2)
 The module generates at a minimum 256 bits of entropy for use in key
generation.
