CHAPTER 1: Introduction
The CM is a limited operational environment under the FIPS 140-2 definitions. The CM SC includes 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 this module is out of the scope of this validation and
requires a separate FIPS 140-2 validation. The CM also includes the USB MCU FW firmware load service to support
necessary updates of the USB controller FW.
The TSB is a physical button that any operator with physical access to the module can depress. The button press
acts as a security measure (presence detection) in addition to the user PIN.
The FIPS 140-2 security levels for the Module are as follows:
Security Requirement Security Level
Cryptographic Module Specification 2
Cryptographic Module Ports and Interfaces 2
Roles, Services, and Authentication 3
Finite State Model 2

Cryptographic Boundary
Hardware and Physical Cryptographic Boundary
The eToken 5300 Mini and Micro MD 4.3.5 are a multi-chip standalone composed of two (2) single chips. Two (2) ICs
are mounted on a PCB assembly with a connector and passive components, covered with a plastic enclosure,
exposing only the LED, the USB connector, and a Touch Sense Button contact. The Module is intended to be
covered within a plastic enclosure. Physical inspection inside the Module boundary is not practical, as the epoxy layer
is opaque.
The Module meets commercial-grade specifications for power, temperature, reliability, and shock/vibrations.

Specification
USB MCU Firmware and Logical Cryptographic Boundary
Figure 4 – USB MCU Block Diagram
The CM provides framework for the USB Standard and Class requests including the API dedicated to the CCID
protocol. The CM defines an interface for USB MCU firmware update service secured with RSA-2048 PKCS#1
RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 signature. The USB MCU FW communicates with the SC OS using ISO-7816 T1 protocol.
The LED functions as status indicator with no connection to Critical Security Parameters, and thus cannot output any
sensitive information.
The Touch Sense Button inputs button press indication to the MCU with no connection to Critical Security
Parameters, and thus cannot output any sensitive information.

SC Firmware and Logical Cryptographic Boundary
Figure 3 below depicts the SC operational environment and applets.
Figure 5 - Smart Card Block Diagram
The SC supports [ISO7816] T=0 and T=1 communication protocols.
The SC provides services to both external devices and internal applets as the IDPrime MD.
Applets, as IDPrime MD, access module functionalities via internal API entry points that are not exposed to external
entities. External devices have access to SC services by sending APDU commands encapsulated in the USB CCID
commands supported by the USB MCU.
The SC provides an execution sandbox for the IDPrime MD Applet and performs the requested services according to
its roles and services security policy.
The SC inhibits all data output via the data output interface while the module is in error state and during self-tests.
The JavaCard API is an internal interface, available to applets. Only applet services are available at the card edge
(the interfaces that cross the cryptographic boundary).
The Javacard Runtime Environment implements the dispatcher, registry, loader, logical channel and RMI
functionalities.

CHAPTER 5: Roles, Authentication and
Services
Table 20 lists all operator roles supported by the Module. This Module does not support a maintenance role. The
Module clears previous authentications on power cycle. The Module supports GP logical channels, allowing multiple
concurrent operators. Authentication of each operator and their access to roles and services is as described in this
section, independent of logical channel usage. Only one operator at a time is permitted on a channel. Applet de-
selection (including Card Manager), card reset or power down terminates the current authentication; re-authentication
is required after any of these events for access to authenticated services. CO Authentication data is encrypted during
entry (by SD-SDEK), is stored encrypted (by OS-MKDK) and is only accessible by authenticated services.
Role ID Role Description
CO (Cryptographic Officer) This role is responsible for card issuance and
management of card data via the Card Manager applet.
Authenticated using the SCP authentication method with SD-SENC.
IUSR (User) The IDPrime MD User, authenticated by the IDPrime MD
applet – see below for authentication mechanism.
ICAA (Card Application Administrator) The IDPrime MD Card Application
Administrator authenticated by the IDPrime MD applet – see below
for authentication mechanism.
UA Unauthenticated role
Table 20 - Role Description
Secure Channel Protocol (SCP) Authentication
The Open Platform Secure Channel Protocol authentication method is performed when the EXTERNAL
AUTHENTICATE service is invoked after successful execution of the INITIALIZE UPDATE command. These two
commands operate as described next.
The SD-KENC and SD-KMAC keys are used along with other information to derive the SD-SENC and SD-SMAC
keys, respectively. The SD-SMAC key is used to create a cryptogram; the external entity participating in the mutual
authentication also creates this cryptogram. Each participant compares the received cryptogram to the calculated
cryptogram and if this succeeds, the two participants are mutually authenticated (the external entity is authenticated
to the Module in the CO role).
For SCP03, AES-128, AES-192 or AES-256 keys are used for Global Platform secure channel operations, in which
the Module derives session keys from the master keys and a handshake process, performs mutual authentication,
and decrypts data for internal use only. The Module encrypts a total of one block (the mutual authentication
cryptogram) over the life of the session encryption key; no decrypted data is output by the Module. AES key
establishment provides a minimum of 128 bits of security strength. The Module uses the SD-KDEK key to decrypt
critical security parameters and does not perform encryption with this key or output data decrypted with this key.

Based on the maximum count value of the failed authentication blocking mechanism, the minimum probability that a
random attempt will succeed over a one-minute period is 255/2^128.
IDPrime MD User Authentication
This authentication method compares a PIN value sent to the Module to the stored PIN values. If the two values are
equal, the operator is authenticated. This method is used in the IDPrime MD Applet services to authenticate to the
IUSR role.
The module enforces string length of 4 bytes minimum (16 bytes maximum) for the Global PIN and 8 bytes for the
Session PIN.
For the Global PIN, an embedded PIN Policy allows at least a combination of Numeric value (0 to 9) or alphabetic
upper case (‘A’ to ‘Z’) or alphabetic lower case (‘a’ to z’), so the possible combination of value for the Global PIN is
greater than 10^6. Then the strength of this authentication method is as follow:
• The probability that a random attempt at authentication will succeed is 1/62^4 which is lower than 1/10^6
• Based on a maximum count of 15 for consecutive failed service authentication attempts, the probability
that a random attempt will succeed over a one-minute period is 15/62^4 which is lower than 1/10^5
IDPrime MD Card Application Administrator Authentication
(ICAA)
a) The 3-Key Triple-DES key establishment provides 112 bits of security strength. The Module uses the IAS-
SC-DES3 to authenticate the ICAA role.
• The probability that a random attempt at authentication will succeed is 1/2^64 (based on block
size)
• Based on the maximum count value of the failed authentication blocking mechanism, the
probability that a random attempt will succeed over a one-minute period is 255/2^64
b) PIN Authentication
This authentication method compares a PIN value sent to the Module to the stored OWNERPIN values. If the
two values are equal, the operator is authenticated. This method is used in the IDPrime MD Applet services
to authenticate the ICAA role.

The module enforces string length of 4 bytes minimum (64 bytes maximum).
An embedded PIN Policy allows at least a combination of Numeric value (0 to 9) or alphabetic upper case (‘A’
to ‘Z’) or alphabetic lower case (‘a’ to z’), so the possible combination of value for the Global PIN is greater
than 10^6. Then the strength of this authentication method is as follow:
• The probability that a random attempt at authentication will succeed is 1/62^4 which is lower
than 1/10^6
• Based on a maximum count of 15 for consecutive failed service authentication attempts, the
probability that a random attempt will succeed over a one-minute period is 15/62^4 which is lower

Platform Services
All services implemented by the Java Card platform are listed in the tables below. Each service description also
describes all usage of CSPs by the service.
Service Description
Card Reset
(Self-test)
Power cycle the Module by removing and reinserting it into the contact reader slot,
or by reader assertion of the reset signal. The Card Reset service will invoke the
power on self-tests described in Section §CHAPTER 9:-Self-test.
Moreover, on any card reset, the Module overwrites with zeros the RAM copy of,
OS-RNG-STATE, SD-SENC, SD-SMAC and SD-SDEK.
The Module can also write the values of all CSPs stored in EEPROM as a
consequence of restoring values in the event of card tearing or a similar event.
During the self-tests, the module generates the RAM copy of OS-RNG-STATE and
updates the EEPROM copy of OS-RNG-STATE.
EXTERNAL

Table 22 – Authenticated Card Manager Services and CSP Usage
All of the above commands use the SD-SENC and SD-SMAC keys for secure channel communications, and SD-
SMAC for firmware load integrity.
The card life cycle state determines which modes are available for the secure channel. In the SECURED card life
cycle state, all command data must be secured by at least a MAC. As specified in the GP specification, there exist
earlier states (before card issuance) in which a MAC might not be necessary to send Issuer Security Domain
commands. Note that the LOAD service enforces MAC usage.

CHAPTER 6: Physical Security Policy
eToken 5300 Mini and Micro are multiple-Chip standalone cryptographic modules, two (2) ICs are mounted on a PCB
assembly with a connector and passive components.
The Mini covered by epoxy on both sides, exposing only the LED, the Touch Sense Button and USB connector. The
Module is intended to be covered within a plastic enclosure. Physical inspection inside the Module boundary is not
practical, as the epoxy layer is opaque.
The Micro is covered with a plastic enclosure and exposing only the LED, the Touch Sense Button and USB
connector. Physical inspection inside the Module boundary is not practical, as the enclosure is opaque.
The LED functions as status indicator and this is the reason it is kept non-covered. The LED has no connection to
Critical Security Parameters, and thus cannot output any sensitive information.
The Touch Sense Button inputs button press indication to the MCU and this is the reason it is kept non-covered. The
Touch Sense Button has no connection to Critical Security Parameters, and thus cannot output any sensitive
information.

CHAPTER 7: Operational Environment
This section does not apply to SC platform. No code modifying the behavior of the SC operating system can be
added after its manufacturing process.
Only authorized applets can be loaded at post-issuance under control of the Cryptographic Officer. Their execution is
controlled by the CM operating system following its security policy rules.
Only authorized (Signed by Thales private keys) USB MCU FW can be loaded at post-issuance while no-Thales
signed FWs will be rejected by the USB MCU.
New firmware versions (applet or USB MCU) within the scope of this validation must be validated through the CMVP.
Any other firmware loaded into this module is out of the scope of this validation and requires a separate FIPS 140-2
validation.

CHAPTER 9: Self-Test
Power-on Self-Test
Each time the CM is powered up it tests that the cryptographic algorithms still operate correctly and that sensitive
data have not been damaged. Power-on self–tests are available on demand by power cycling the CM.
On power-on or reset, the CM performs the self-tests described in table below. All KATs must be completed
successfully prior to any other use of cryptography by the CM. If one of the KATs fails, the CM will enter in an error
state and the LED will blink following given sequences or the module will not answer (SC is mute).
The FW performs self-tests during power up. A failure of these operations will lead to an error state.
Test Target Description
Firmware Integrity
32-bit CRC performed over all code located in USB MCU Flash memory.
16-bit CRC performed over all code located in SC Flash memory (for OS, Applets,
and filters).
DRBG
Performs DRBG SP 800-90 KAT with fixed inputs (no derivation function and no
reseeding) and health test.
Triple-DES Performs separate encrypt and decrypt KATs using 3-Key Triple-DES in ECB mode.
AES
Performs decrypt KAT using an AES 128 key in ECB mode. AES encrypt is self-
tested as an embedded algorithm of AES-CMAC.
KBKDF AES-CMAC
Performs a KDF AES-CMAC KAT using an AES 128 key and 32-byte derivation
data. The KAT computes session keys and verifies the result. Note that KDF KAT is
identical to an AES-CMAC KAT; the only difference is the size of input data.
RSA
Performs separate RSA PKCS#1 signature and verification KATs using an RSA
2048 bit key, and an RSA PKCS#1 signature KAT using the RSA CRT
implementation with a 2048 bit key.
SHA-1 Performs a SHA-1 KAT.
SHA-256 Performs a SHA-256 KAT.
SHA-512 Performs a SHA-512 KAT.
SHA-256 (USB MCU)
Performs a SHA-256 on a constant message stored in memory. Result given by the
operation is compared with the expected result. If they are the same, self-test is OK.
RSA SIGN Verification
(USB MCU)
Performs an RSA PKCS#1 signature verification - 2048-bit key on a constant key
(modulus & exponent) and message and the expected result stored in memory. If the
signature verification is successful, self-test is OK.

Conditional Self-Tests
On every call to the [SP 800-90] DRBG, the FIPS 140-2 Continuous RNG test to assure that the output is different
than the previous value.
When any asymmetric key pair is generated (for RSA or ECDSA keys) the SC performs a pair-wise consistency test.
When new firmware is loaded into the SC using the LOAD command, the SC verifies the integrity and authenticity of
the new firmware (applet) using the SD-SMAC key for MAC process. Optionally, the SC may also verify a signature of
the new firmware (applet) using the DAP-SYM key; the signature block in this scenario is signed by an external entity
using the DAP-SYM key.
When any new RSA asymmetric key pair generated or pushed into the SC is used for first time to perform a key
unwrap, SC performs a pair-wise consistency test before allowing unwrapping operation.
When a new FW is downloaded to the USB MCU, the existing MCU FW validates the integrity of the new FW by
verifying the new FW signatures using 2048-bit RSA Public keys embedded in the USB MCU existing FW.

CHAPTER 12: Security Rules and Guidance
The Module implementation also enforces the following security rules:
• No additional interface or service is implemented by the Module that would provide access to CSPs.
• Data output is inhibited during key generation, self-tests, zeroization, and error states.
• There are no restrictions on which keys or CSPs are zeroized by the zeroization service. All keys and CSPs
of the module can be zeroized by various zeroization services. For example, complete Applet zeroization
can be done by the CO role via the applet Delete service (required ISD key), while User Keys can be
zeroized by the user or the Admin (ICAA). For more details about the eToken 5300 zeroization services
customization, please contact Thales product support.
• The Module does not support manual key entry, output plaintext CSPs or output intermediate key values.
• Status information does not contain CSPs or sensitive data that if misused could lead to a compromise of
the Module.
• In accordance to NIST guidance, operators are responsible for insuring that a single Triple-DES key shall not
be used to encrypt more than 216
64-bit data blocks.
