9 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of the 1830 PSS, including
the following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the 1830 PSS 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 1830 PSS 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 1830 PSS 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 1830 PSS configuration management system and
associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the 1830 PSS
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 the 1830 PSS during distribution to the
consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by developer for the 1830
PSS. 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.

1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) R7.0
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 ETR2
.
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. Initialization: The objective of this test goal is to ensure the TOE is correctly initialized,
verified and configured prior to the start of testing;
b. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests;
c. FIPS Mode Configuration: The objective of this test goal is to test the various aspects of
the TOE in FIPS Mode;
d. Concurrent Login: The objective of this test goal is to confirm the concurrent login
behaviour;
e. Trusted Channel: The objective of this test goal is to demonstrate the encrypted, trusted
channel between the TOE and the KMT (Key Management Tool) and NMS (Network
Management System) servers; and
f. Power Failure Recovery: The objective of this test goal is to demonstrate power failure
recovery and that the TOE maintains the FIPS mode through a power failure.
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 such as Ping Scan, Port Scan, and Nessus
Scan to discover potential network, platform and application layer vulnerabilities;
b. Internet Search: The objective of this test case is to search public domains for
vulnerabilities relating to the TOE;
c. Banner Grabbing: The objective of this test goal is to determine if any useful information
can be gained from the 1830 PSS; and
d. Specific Nessus Scan: The objective of this test goal was to scan the TOE employing
specific policies to address the following vulnerabilities:
a. Heartbleed;
b. Shellshock;
c. Poodle;
d. Ghost; and
e. Freak.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
intended operating environment.
10.4 Conduct of Testing
The 1830 PSS was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally documented, independent
functional and penetration tests. The detailed testing activities, including configurations,
procedures, test cases, expected results and observed results are documented in a separate
Test Results document.
10.5 Testing Results
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests yielded the expected results,
providing assurance that the 1830 PSS behaves as specified in its ST and functional
specification.
11 Results of the Evaluation
This evaluation has provided the basis for a EAL 2+ level of assurance. The overall verdict
for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in the ETR.
12 Evaluator Comments, Observations and Recommendations
It is recommended that potential operators of the TOE familiarize themselves with the
Security Target, and relevant set-up documentation, before operating the device. In
particular, it is important that the device be successfully configured into FIPS mode before its
operational use.
