Certification Report BSI-CC-PP-0084-V2-2026
A Certification
1 Preliminary Remarks
Under the Act on the Federal Office for Information Security (BSIG), the Federal Office for
Information Security (BSI) has the task of issuing certificates for information technology
products as well as for Protection Profiles (PP).
A PP defines an implementation-independent set of IT security requirements for a category
of products which are intended to meet common consumer needs for IT security. A PP
claimed by a user, consumer or stakeholder for IT gives them the possibility to express
their IT security needs without referring to a specific product. Product certifications can be
based on Protection Profiles. For products which have been certified based on a
Protection Profile an individual certificate will be issued but the results from a PP
certification can be re-used for the Security Target evaluation within a product evaluation
when conformance to the PP has been claimed.
Certification of the Protection Profile is carried out on the instigation of the BSI or a
sponsor. A part of the procedure is the technical examination (evaluation) of the Protection
Profile according to Common Criteria [1]. The evaluation is usually carried out by an
evaluation facility recognised by the BSI or by BSI itself. The result of the certification
procedure is the present Certification Report. This report contains among others the
certificate (summarised assessment) and the detailed Certification Results.
2 Specifications of the Certification Procedure
The certification body conducts the procedure according to the criteria laid down in the
following:
● Act on the Federal Office for Information Security (BSIG)1
● BSI Certification and Approval Ordinance2
● BMI Regulations on Ex-parte Costs3
● Special decrees issued by the Bundesministerium des Innern (Federal Ministry of the
Interior)
● DIN EN ISO/IEC 17065 standard
● BSI certification: Scheme documentation describing the certification process (CC-
Produkte) [3], including PP Certification
● BSI certification: Scheme documentation on requirements for the Evaluation Facility, its
approval and licencing process (CC-Stellen) [3]

3 Recognition Agreements
In order to avoid multiple certification of the same Protection Profile in different countries a
mutual recognition of IT security certificates - as far as such certificates are based on CC -
under certain conditions was agreed. Therefore, the results of this evaluation and
certification procedure can be re-used by the product certificate issuing scheme in the
evaluation of a Security Target within a subsequent product evaluation and certification
procedure.
3.1 European Recognition of CC – Certificates (SOGIS-MRA)
The SOGIS-Mutual Recognition Agreement (SOGIS-MRA) Version 3 became effective in
April 2010. It defines the recognition of certificates for IT-Products at a basic recognition
level up to and including Common Criteria (CC) Evaluation Assurance Levels EAL 4, and
in addition at higher recognition levels for IT-Products related to certain technical domains
only. In addition, certificates issued for Protection Profiles based on Common Criteria are
part of the recognition agreement.
The SOGIS-MRA logo printed on the certificate indicates that it is recognised under the
terms of this agreement by the related bodies of the signatory nations. A disclaimer
beneath the logo indicates the specific scope of recognition.
Details on recognition, the signatory nations, technical domains and the agreement itself
can be found at https://www.sogis.eu.
3.2 International Recognition of CC – Certificates (CCRA)
The international Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA) became effective in
September 2014 in its current version. It defines the recognition of certificates for IT-
products based on collaborative Protection Profiles (cPP) (exact use), CC certificates
based on assurance components up to and including EAL 2 or the assurance family Flaw
Remediation (ALC_FLR) and CC certificates for Protection Profiles and for collaborative
Protection Profiles (cPP).
The Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement logo printed on the certificate indicates
that this certification is recognised under the terms of this agreement by the related bodies
of the signatory nations. A disclaimer beneath the logo indicates the specific scope of
recognition.
Details on recognition, the signatory nations and the agreement itself can be found at
https://www.commoncriteriaportal.org.
4 Performance of Evaluation and Certification
The certification body monitors each individual evaluation to ensure a uniform procedure, a
uniform interpretation of the criteria and uniform ratings.

Certification Report BSI-CC-PP-0084-V2-2026
The PP Security IC Platform Protection Profile including Functional Packages, Version 2.0
has undergone the certification procedure at BSI. This is a re-certification based on BSI-
CC-PP-0084-2014. Due to a change of the ITSEF, results from the evaluation process was
not possible.
The evaluation of the PP Security IC Platform Protection Profile including Functional
Packages, Version 2.0 was conducted by the ITSEF SGS Digital Trust Services GmbH.
The evaluation was completed on 19 February 2026. The ITSEF SGS Digital Trust
Services GmbH is an evaluation facility (ITSEF)5
recognised by the certification body of
BSI.
For this certification procedure the sponsor and applicant is: Eurosmart AISBL.
The PP was developed by: Infineon Technologies AG, NXP Semiconductors,
STMicroelectronics and Thales.
The certification is concluded with the comparability check and the production of this
Certification Report. This work was completed by the BSI.
5 Validity of the certification result
This Certification Report only applies to the version of the Protection Profile as indicated.
In case of changes to the certified version of the Protection Profile, the validity can be
extended to new versions and releases, provided the sponsor applies for assurance
continuity (i.e. re-certification or maintenance) of the modified Protection Profile, in
accordance with the procedural requirements, and the evaluation does not reveal any
security deficiencies.
For the meaning of the CC concepts and terms please refer to CC [1] Part 1 through 5.
The validity of this certificate ends as outlined on the certificate. The applicant and the
sponsor of this certificate are recommended to review the technical content of the
Protection Profile certified according to the evolvement of the technology and of the
intended operational environment of the type of product concerned as well as according to
the evolvement of the evaluation criteria. Such review should result in an update and a re-
certification of the Protection Profile accordingly. Typically, technical standards are
reviewed on a five years basis.
The limitation of validity of this PP certificate does not necessarily impact the validity
period of a product certificate referring to this Protection Profile, but the certification body
issuing a product certificate based on this Protection Profile should take it into its
consideration on validity.

Certification Report BSI-CC-PP-0084-V2-2026
1 Protection Profile Overview
The Protection Profile ‘Security IC Platform Protection Profile including Functional
Packages’, Version 2.0, [5] is established by Eurosmart AISBL as a basis for the
development of Security Targets in order to perform a certification of Security Integrated
Circuits. It is an update, technically and according to CC:2022 Revision 1, of the
Smartcard Protection Profile BSI-CC-PP-0084-2014 [6].
The TOE of the Protection Profile is a Security IC which is composed of a processing unit,
security components, I/O ports (contact or contactless interface) and volatile and non-
volatile memories. The Security IC may include IC Dedicated Software and optional
address-based access control block, if they are delivered by the IC manufacturer.
A specific life-cycle is defined for the product considered as the TOE in chapters 1.3.5 and
11.1 of the Protection Profile [5]. The assets to be protected by a TOE claiming
conformance to BSI-CC-PP-0084-V2-2026 are defined in the Protection Profile [5],
chapters 3.1 and 11.1.3. Based on these assets the security problem definition is defined
in terms of assumptions, threats and organisational security policies. This is outlined in the
Protection Profile [5], chapters 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4.
These assumptions, threats and organisational security policies are covered by security
objectives to be fulfilled by a TOE claiming conformance to this PP and security objectives
to be fulfilled by the operational environment of a TOE claiming conformance to this PP.
These objectives are outlined in the PP [5], chapter 4.1 for the TOE itself, chapter 4.2 for
the Security IC Embedded Software and chapter 4.3 for the Operational Environment. The
Protection Profile [5] requires a Security Target based on this PP or another PP claiming
this PP to fulfil the CC requirements for strict conformance.
The main changes of PP [5] compared to its previous version [6] is the update to CC:2022
Revision 1, a new functional package for address-based Access Control and a new
package for Cryptographic services, which replaces the three packages Triple DES, AES
and Hash. A summary is given in chapter 11.4 of the PP [5].
The PP also includes an Appendix, which is referred to as informative inside of the PP and
has not been formally evaluated by the ITSEF.
2 Security Functional Requirements
Based on the security objectives to be fulfilled by a TOE claiming conformance to this PP
the security policy is expressed by the set of security functional requirements (SFR) to be
implemented by a TOE. It covers the following issues:
Protection of user data and support of the other SFRs against: Malfunction, Leakage,
Physical Manipulation and Probing. Moreover the TOE's life-cycle is supported as well as
the user Identification whereas the Abuse of Functionality is prevented. Furthermore,
Random Number Generation is provided as Specific Functionality.
These TOE security functional requirements are outlined in the PP [5], chapter 6.1. They
are selected from Common Criteria Part 2 and some of them are newly defined. Thus the
SFR claim is called:
Common Criteria Part 2 extended
10 / 15
BSI-CC-PP-0084-V2-2026 Certification Report
3 Assurance Requirements
The TOE security assurance package claimed in the Protection Profile is based entirely on
the assurance components defined in Part 3 of the Common Criteria. Thus, this assurance
package is called:
Common Criteria Part 3 conformant
EAL 4 augmented by
ALC_DVS.2, ALC_FLR.2 and AVA_VAN.5
(for the definition and scope of assurance packages according to CC see [1], Part 3 for
details).
4 Results of the PP-Evaluation
The Evaluation Technical Report (ETR) [7] was provided by the ITSEF according to the
Common Criteria [1], the Methodology [2], the requirements of the Scheme [3] and all
Application Notes and Interpretations of the Scheme (AIS) [4] as relevant for the TOE.
As a result of the evaluation the verdict PASS is confirmed for the assurance components
of the class APE (Protection Profile evaluation).
The following assurance components were used:
APE_INT.1 PP introduction
APE_CCL.1 Conformance claims
APE_SPD.1 Security problem definition
APE_OBJ.2 Security objectives
APE_ECD.1 Extended components definition
APE_REQ.2 Derived security requirements
This certification procedure is based on an update of the Common Criteria Protection
Profile previously certified under BSI-CC-PP-0084-2014. The evaluation was done by a
different ITSEF. In turn, results from previous evaluation could not be re-used.
The PP [5] is aligned with CC:2022, Revision 1, allowing to integrate several SFRs as
standard components. It satisfies Eurosmart’s demands for state of the art modelling of
security features in modern security ICs for both consumer and governmental markets.
The results of the evaluation are only applicable to the Protection Profile as defined in
chapter 1.
5 Obligations and notes for the usage
The following aspects need to be fulfilled when using the Protection Profile:
The PP holds numbered Application Notes that need to be considered by the ST authors.
Some of which include requirements, i.e. “shall” statements.
Application Note 35 of the PP refers to a list of Agreed Cryptographic Mechanisms as part
of the EUCC scheme. A cryptographic assessment was not part of the PP evaluation.
Neither the strength nor the suitability for use in a distinct TOE has been evaluated. When
writing a Security Target claiming conformance to this PP, the author shall choose
cryptographically strong algorithms and operation modes. Some further hints and
guidelines can be derived from the ‘Technische Richtlinie BSI TR-02102’
(https://www.bsi.bund.de).
11 / 15
Certification Report BSI-CC-PP-0084-V2-2026
Chapter 10 of the PP [5] states Supporting Documents for proper and consistent usage.
For TOE evaluations, the accepted version shall be agreed with the certification body as
these technical documents will evolve over time to reflect state of the art ratings. The
Bibliography in chapter 8 states versions in scope at the time of the evaluation of the PP
[5] for certain documents from ENISA [8] to [14].
