Module Overview
Palo Alto Networks offers a full line of next‐generation security appliances that range from the
PA‐200, designed for enterprise remote offices, to the PA‐7080, which is a modular chassis
designed for high‐speed datacenters. Our platform architecture is based on our single‐pass
software engine, PAN‐OS, for networking, security, threat prevention, and management
functionality that is consistent across all platforms. The devices differ only in capacities,
performance, and physical configuration.
The Palo Alto Networks PA‐200, PA‐220, PA‐500, PA‐800 Series, PA‐3000 Series, PA‐5000 Series,
PA‐5200 Series, and PA‐7000 Series Firewalls (hereafter referred to as the modules) are multi‐
chip standalone modules that provide network security by enabling enterprises to see and
control applications, users, and content – not just ports, IP addresses, and packets – using three
unique identification technologies: App‐ID, User‐ID, and Content‐ID. These identification
technologies, found in Palo Alto Networks' enterprise firewalls, enable enterprises to create
business‐relevant security policies – safely enabling organizations to adopt new applications,
instead of the traditional “all‐or‐nothing” approach offered by traditional port‐blocking firewalls
used in many security infrastructures.
Features and Benefits
 Application visibility and control: Accurate identification of the applications traversing
the network enables policy‐based control over application usage at the firewall, the
strategic center of the security infrastructure.
 Visualization tools: Graphical visibility tools, customizable reporting and logging enables
administrators to make a more informed decision on how to treat the applications
traversing the network.
 Application browser: Helps administrators quickly research what the application is, its’
behavioral characteristics and underlying technology resulting in a more informed
decision making process on how to treat the application.
 User‐based visibility and control: Seamless integration with enterprise directory services
(Active Directory, LDAP, eDirectory) facilitates application visibility and policy creation
based on user and group information, not just IP address. In Citrix and terminal services
environments, the identity of users sitting behind Citrix or terminal services can be used
to enable policy‐based visibility and control over applications, users and content. An XML
API enables integration with other, 3rd party user repositories.
 Real‐time threat prevention: Detects and blocks application vulnerabilities, viruses,
spyware, and worms; controls web activity; all in real‐time, dramatically improving
performance and accuracy.
Palo Alto Networks
Palo Alto Networks Firewall Non-Proprietary Security Policy Page 8 of 101
 File and data filtering: Taking full advantage of the in‐depth application inspection being
performed by App‐ID, administrators can implement several different types of policies
that reduce the risk associated with unauthorized file and data transfer.
 Legacy firewall support: Support for traditional inbound and outbound port‐based
firewall rules mixed with application‐based rules smooth the transition to a Palo Alto
Networks next generation firewall.
 Networking architecture: Support for dynamic routing (OSPF, RIP, BGP), virtual wire
mode and layer 2/layer 3 modes facilitates deployment in nearly any networking
environment.
 Policy‐based Forwarding: Forward traffic based on policy defined by application, source
zone/interface, source/destination address, source user/group, and service.
 Virtual Systems: Create multiple virtual “firewalls” within a single device as a means of
supporting specific departments or customers. Each virtual system can include dedicated
administrative accounts, interfaces, networking configuration, security zones, and policies
for the associated network traffic.
 VPN connectivity: Secure site‐to‐site connectivity is enabled through standards‐based
IPSec VPN support while remote user access is delivered via SSL VPN connectivity.
 Quality of Service (QoS): Deploy traffic shaping policies (guaranteed, maximum and
priority) to enable positive policy controls over bandwidth intensive, non‐work related
applications such as streaming media while preserving the performance of business
applications.
 Real‐time bandwidth monitor: View real‐time bandwidth and session consumption for
applications and users within a selected QoS class.
 Purpose‐built platform: combines single pass software with parallel processing hardware
to deliver the multi‐Gbps performance necessary to protect today’s high speed networks.

Modes of Operation
FIPS Approved Mode of Operation
The modules support both a FIPS‐CC mode (FIPS Approved mode) and a Non‐Approved mode. The
following procedure will put the modules into the FIPS‐approved mode of operation:
 Install FIPS kit opacity shields and tamper evidence seals according to the Physical Security Policy
section. FIPS kits must be correctly installed to operate in the Approved mode of operation. The
tamper evidence seals and opacity shields shall be installed for the module to operate in a FIPS
Approved mode of operation.
 During initial boot up, break the boot sequence via the console port connection (by pressing the
maint button when instructed to do so) to access the main menu.
 Select “Continue.”
 Select the “Set FIPS‐CC Mode” option to enter CC mode.
 Select “Enable FIPS‐CC Mode”.
 When prompted, select “Reboot” and the module will re‐initialize and continue into CC mode (FIPS
mode).
 The module will reboot.
Palo Alto Networks
Palo Alto Networks Firewall Non-Proprietary Security Policy Page 12 of 101
 In FIPS‐CC mode, the console port is available as a status output port.
 If using RADIUS or TACACS+, configure the service route via an IPSec tunnel, and ensure the RADIUS
or TACACS+ server is configured for a minimum password length of 6 characters (to match Table 17
of this document), or greater. Otherwise, skip this step.
The module will automatically indicate the FIPS Approved mode of operation in the following manner:
 Status output interface will indicate “**** FIPS‐CC MODE ENABLED ****” via the CLI session.
 Status output interface will indicate “FIPS‐CC mode enabled successfully” via the console port.
 The module will display “FIPS‐CC” at all times in the status bar at the bottom of the web interface.
Should one or more power‐up self‐tests fail, the FIPS Approved mode of operation will not be
achieved. Feedback will consist of:
 The module will output “FIPS‐CC failure”
 The module will reboot and enter a state in which the reason for the reboot can be determined.
 To determine which self‐test caused the system to reboot into the error state, connect the console
cable and follow the on‐screen instructions to view the self‐test output.

operational testing, the module was tested against an independent version of TLS and found to behave
correctly.
 For IPsec/IKEv2, The GCM implementation meets Option 1 of IG A.5: it is used in a manner compliant with RFCs
4106 and 7296 (RFC 5282 is not applicable, as the module does not use GCM within IKEv2 itself). During
operational testing, the module was tested against an independent version of IPsec with IKEv2 and found to
behave correctly.
 For SSH, the module meets Option 4 of IG A.5. The fixed field is 32 bits in length and is derived using the SSH
KDF; this ensures the fixed field is unique for any given GCM session. The invocation field is 64 bits in length and
is incremented for each invocation of GCM; this prevents the IV from repeating until the entire invocation field
space of 264
is exhausted. (It would take hundreds of years for this to occur.)
 For IPsec/IKEv1, the module meets Option 4 of IG A.5. The behavior is the same as the above description for
SSH, except the fixed field is derived using the IKEv1 KDF instead of the SSH KDF.
In all of the above cases, the nonce_explicit is always generated deterministically.
The cryptographic modules support the following non‐FIPS Approved algorithms that are
allowed for use in FIPS‐CC mode.
Table 5 ‐ FIPS Allowed Algorithms Used in the Module
FIPS Allowed Algorithm

Identification and Authentication Policy
Assumption of Roles
The modules support four distinct operator roles, User and Cryptographic Officer (CO), Remote
Access VPN, and Site‐to‐site VPN. The cryptographic modules enforce the separation of roles
using unique authentication credentials associated with operator accounts. The modules
support concurrent operators.
The modules do not provide a maintenance role or bypass capability.

Table 17 ‐ Strengths of Authentication Mechanisms
Authentication Mechanism Strength of Mechanism
Username and Password Minimum length is 6 characters (95 possible characters). The probability
that a random attempt will succeed or a false acceptance will occur is
1/(956
) which is less than 1/1,000,000. The probability of successfully
authenticating to the module within one minute is 10/(956
), which is less
than 1/100,000. The firewall’s configuration supports at most ten failed
attempts to authenticate in a one‐minute period.
Public‐Key/Certificate based
authentication
The security modules support public‐key based authentication using RSA
2048 and certificate‐based authentication using RSA 2048, RSA 3072,
ECDSA P‐256, P‐384, or P‐521.
For RSA, the minimum equivalent strength supported is 112 bits. The
probability that a random attempt will succeed is 1/(2112
) which is less than
1/1,000,000. The probability of successfully authenticating to the module
within a one minute period is 3,600,000/(2112
), which is less than
1/100,000. The firewall supports at most 60,000 new sessions per second
to authenticate in a one‐minute period.
For ECDSA, the minimum equivalent strength supported is 128 bits. The
probability that a random attempt will succeed is 1/(2128
) which is less than
1/1,000,000. The probability of successfully authenticating to the module
within a one minute period is 3,600,000/(2128
), which is less than
1/100,000. The firewall supports at most 60,000 new sessions per second
to authenticate in a one‐minute period.
IKE/IPSec pre‐shared keys The 160 bit key length supports 2160
different combinations. The
probability of successfully authenticating to the module is 1/(2160
), which is
less than 1/1,000,000. The number of authentication attempts is limited
by the number of new connections per second supported (120,000) on the
fastest platform of the Palo Alto Networks firewalls. The probability of
successfully authenticating to the module within a one minute period is
7,200,000/(2160
), which is less than 1/100,000.

Unauthenticated Services
The cryptographic module supports the following unauthenticated services:
Table 20 ‐ Unauthenticated Services
Service Description
Zeroize The device will overwrite all CSPs.
Self‐Tests Run power up self‐tests on demand by power cycling the module.
Show Status (LEDs) View status of the module via the LEDs.
The zeroization procedure is invoked when the operator exits CC (FIPS) mode. The procedure
consists of overwriting keystore files, formatting the harddisk, and overwriting with a
reinstalled firmware image. The operator must be in control of the module during the entire
procedure to ensure that it has successfully completed. During the zeroization procedure, no
other services are available.

Definition of CSPs Modes of Access
Table 23 defines the relationship between access to CSPs and the different module services.
The modes of access shown in the table are defined as:
 R = Read: The module reads the CSP. The read access is typically performed before the module
uses the CSP.
 W = Write: The module writes the CSP. The write access is typically performed after a CSP is
imported into the module, or the module generates a CSP, or the module overwrites an existing
CSP.
 Z = Zeroize: The module zeroizes the CSP.

Operational Environment
The FIPS 140‐2 Area 6 Operational Environment requirements are not applicable because the Firewalls
do not contain modifiable operational environments. The operational environment is limited since the
modules include a firmware load service to support necessary updates. New firmware versions within
the scope of this validation must be validated through the FIPS 140‐2 CMVP. Any other firmware
loaded into these modules is out of the scope of this validation and requires a separate FIPS 140‐2
validation.
Security Rules
The module design corresponds to the module security rules. This section documents the
security rules enforced by the cryptographic module to implement the security requirements of
this FIPS 140‐2 Level 2 module.
FIPS 140‐2 Security Rules
1. The cryptographic module provides four distinct operator roles. These are the User role,
Remote Access VPN role, Site‐to‐site VPN role, and the Cryptographic Officer role.
2. The cryptographic module provides identity‐based authentication.
3. The cryptographic module clears previous authentications on power cycle.
4. When the module has not been placed in a valid role, the operator does not have access
to any cryptographic services.
5. The cryptographic module performs the following tests
A. Power up Self‐Tests
1. Cryptographic algorithm tests
a. AES Encrypt Known Answer Test
b. AES Decrypt Known Answer Test
c. AES GCM Encrypt Known Answer Test
d. AES GCM Decrypt Known Answer Test
e. AES CCM Encrypt Known Answer Test
f. AES CCM Decrypt Known Answer Test
g. RSA Sign Known Answer Test
h. RSA Verify Known Answer Test
i. RSA Encrypt Known Answer Test
j. RSA Decrypt Known Answer Test
k. ECDSA Sign Known Answer Test
l. ECDSA Verify Known Answer Test
m. HMAC‐SHA‐1 Known Answer Test
n. HMAC‐SHA‐256 Known Answer Test
o. HMAC‐SHA‐384 Known Answer Test
Palo Alto Networks
Palo Alto Networks Firewall Non-Proprietary Security Policy Page 37 of 101
p. HMAC‐SHA‐512 Known Answer Test
q. SHA‐1 Known Answer Test
r. SHA‐256 Known Answer Test
s. SHA‐384 Known Answer Test
t. SHA‐512 Known Answer Test
u. DRBG SP800‐90A Known Answer Tests
v. SP 800‐90A Section 11.3 Health Tests
w. DH Known Answer Test
x. ECDH Known Answer Test
2. Firmware Integrity Test –verified with HMAC‐SHA‐256 and ECDSA P‐256.
B. Critical Functions Tests
1. N/A
C. Conditional Self‐Tests
1. Continuous Random Number Generator (RNG) test – performed on
NDRNG and DRBG
2. RSA Pairwise Consistency Test (when a key generation fails, the error
message displayed is “Cannot verify key and certificate.”)
3. ECDSA Pairwise Consistency Test (when a key generation fails, the error
message displayed is “Cannot verify key and certificate.”)
4. Firmware Load Test – Verify RSA 2048 with SHA‐256 signature on
firmware at time of load
5. If any conditional test fails, the module will output a description of the
error condition.
6. The operator can command the module to perform the power‐up self‐test by cycling
power of the module.
7. Power‐up self‐tests do not require any operator action.
8. Data output is inhibited during power‐up self‐tests, zeroization and error states.
9. Status information does not contain CSPs or sensitive data that if misused could lead to
a compromise of the module.
10. There are no restrictions on which keys or CSPs are zeroized by the zeroization service.
11. The module maintains separation between concurrent operators.
12. The module does not support a maintenance interface or role.
13. The module does not have any external input/output devices used for entry/output of
data.
14. The module does not enter or output plaintext CSPs.
15. The module does not output intermediate key generation values.
Vendor imposed security rules:
Palo Alto Networks
Palo Alto Networks Firewall Non-Proprietary Security Policy Page 38 of 101
1. If the cryptographic module remains inactive in any valid role for the administrator specified
time interval, the module automatically logs out the operator.
2. The module enforces a timed access protection mechanism that supports at most ten
authentication attempts per minute. After the administrator specified number of consecutive
unsuccessful password validation attempts have occurred, the cryptographic module shall
enforce a wait period of at least one (1) minute before any more login attempts can be
attempted. This wait period shall be enforced even if the module power is momentarily
removed.
Palo Alto Networks
Palo Alto Networks Firewall Non-Proprietary Security Policy Page 39 of 101
Physical Security Mechanisms
The multi‐chip standalone modules are production quality containing standard passivation.
Chip components are protected by an opaque enclosure. There are tamper evident seals that
are applied on the modules by the Crypto‐Officer. All unused seals are to be controlled by the
Crypto‐Officer. The seals prevent removal of the opaque enclosure without evidence. The
Crypto‐Officer must ensure that the module surface is clean and dry. Tamper evident labels
must be pressed firmly onto the adhering surfaces during installation and once applied the
Crypto‐ Officer shall permit 24 hours of cure time for all tamper evident labels. The Crypto‐
Officer should inspect the seals and shields for evidence of tamper every 30 days. If the seals
show evidence of tamper, the Crypto‐Officer should assume that the modules have been
compromised and contact Customer Support.
Note: For ordering information, see Table 2 for FIPS kit part numbers and versions. Opacity
shields and Tamper Labels are included in the FIPS kits.
Refer to Appendix A for instructions on installation of the tamper seals and opacity shields. The
