Foreword
The Netherlands Scheme for Certification in the Area of IT Security (NSCIB) provides a third-party
evaluation and certification service for determining the trustworthiness of Information Technology (IT)
security products. Under this NSCIB, TrustCB B.V. has the task of issuing certificates for IT security
products, as well as for protection profiles and sites.
Part of the procedure is the technical examination (evaluation) of the product, protection profile or site
according to the Common Criteria assessment guidelines published by the NSCIB. Evaluations are
performed by an IT Security Evaluation Facility (ITSEF) under the oversight of the NSCIB Certification
Body, which is operated by TrustCB B.V. in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom
Relations.
An ITSEF in the Netherlands is a commercial facility that has been licensed by TrustCB B.V. to
perform Common Criteria evaluations; a significant requirement for such a licence is accreditation to
the requirements of ISO Standard 17025 “General requirements for the accreditation of calibration and
testing laboratories”.
By awarding a Common Criteria certificate, TrustCB B.V. asserts that the product or site complies with
the security requirements specified in the associated (site) security target, or that the protection profile
(PP) complies with the requirements for PP evaluation specified in the Common Criteria for
Information Security Evaluation. A (site) security target is a requirements specification document that
defines the scope of the evaluation activities.
The consumer should review the (site) security target or protection profile, in addition to this
certification report, to gain an understanding of any assumptions made during the evaluation, the IT
product's intended environment, its security requirements, and the level of confidence (i.e., the
evaluation assurance level) that the product or site satisfies the security requirements stated in the
(site) security target.

Recognition of the Certificate
Presence of the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA) and the SOG-IS logos on the
certificate indicates that this certificate is issued in accordance with the provisions of the CCRA and
the SOG-IS Mutual Recognition Agreement (SOG-IS MRA) and will be recognised by the participating
nations.
International recognition
The CCRA was signed by the Netherlands in May 2000 and provides mutual recognition of certificates
based on the Common Criteria (CC). Since September 2014 the CCRA has been updated to provide
mutual recognition of certificates based on cPPs (exact use) or STs with evaluation assurance
components up to and including EAL2+ALC_FLR.
For details of the current list of signatory nations and approved certification schemes, see
http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org.
European recognition
The SOG-IS MRA Version 3, effective since April 2010, provides mutual recognition in Europe of
Common Criteria and ITSEC certificates at a basic evaluation level for all products. A higher
recognition level for evaluation levels beyond EAL4 (respectively E3-basic) is provided for products
related to specific technical domains. This agreement was signed initially by Finland, France,
Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Italy joined the SOG-IS
MRA in December 2010.
For details of the current list of signatory nations, approved certification schemes and the list of
technical domains for which the higher recognition applies, see https://www.sogis.eu.

This Certification Report states the outcome of the Common Criteria security evaluation of the Veridos
Suite v4.0 – cryptovision ePasslet Suite – Java Card applet configuration providing Secure Signature
Creation Device with Key import (SSCD). The developer of the Veridos Suite v4.0 – cryptovision
ePasslet Suite – Java Card applet configuration providing Secure Signature Creation Device with Key
import (SSCD) is cv cryptovision GmbH located in Gelsenkirchen, Germany and Veridos GmbH,
Identity Solutions by Giesecke+Devrient and Bundesdruckerei acts as the sponsor of the evaluation
and certification. A Certification Report is intended to assist prospective consumers when judging the
suitability of the IT security properties of the product for their particular requirements.
The TOE is a Java Card (Veridos Suite v4.0 - cryptovision ePasslet Suite) configured to provide a
secure signature creation device (SSCD) with key generation for the creation of legally binding
qualified electronic signatures and qualified electronic seals as defined in the eIDAS regulation
[Regulation]1. To allow secure access to the signature functionality over the contactless interface, it
provides an optional PACE mechanism to build up a secure channel for the signature PIN.
The TOE has been evaluated by SGS Brightsight B.V. | located in Delft, The Netherlands. The
evaluation was completed on 16-11-2023 with the approval of the ETR. The certification procedure
has been conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Netherlands Scheme for Certification in
the Area of IT Security [NSCIB].
The scope of the evaluation is defined by the security target [ST], which identifies assumptions made
during the evaluation, the intended environment for the Veridos Suite v4.0 – cryptovision ePasslet
Suite – Java Card applet configuration providing Secure Signature Creation Device with Key import
(SSCD), the security requirements, and the level of confidence (evaluation assurance level) at which
the product is intended to satisfy the security requirements. Consumers of the Veridos Suite v4.0 –
cryptovision ePasslet Suite – Java Card applet configuration providing Secure Signature Creation
Device with Key import (SSCD) are advised to verify that their own environment is consistent with the
security target, and to give due consideration to the comments, observations and recommendations in
this certification report.
The results documented in the evaluation technical report [ETR] 1 for this product provide sufficient
evidence that the TOE meets the EAL5 augmented (EAL5+) assurance requirements for the evaluated
security functionality. This assurance level is augmented with ALC_DVS.2 (Sufficiency of security
measures), and AVA_VAN.5 (Resistant against attackers with a high attack potential) .
The evaluation was conducted using the Common Methodology for Information Technology Security
Evaluation, Version 3.1 Revision 5 [CEM] for conformance to the Common Criteria for Information
Technology Security Evaluation, Version 3.1 Revision 5 [CC] (Parts I, II and III).
TrustCB B.V., as the NSCIB Certification Body, declares that the evaluation meets all the conditions
for international recognition of Common Criteria Certificates and that the product will be listed on the
NSCIB Certified Products list. Note that the certification results apply only to the specific version of the
product as evaluated.
The TOE is stated as a Qualified Signature Creation Device and Qualified Seal Creation Device for
the purposes of electronic identification and trust services as detailed by the [EU-REG]. The
evaluation by SGS Brightsight included an examination of the TOE according to the eIDAS Dutch
Conformity Assessment Process Version 6 0.
This document was re-issued on 31 January 2024 as version 2 to reference the associated eIDAS
evaluation in section 1 and to update section 2.2.

The average test coverage for instructions is 87% and for branches 77%. The developer explained to
the evaluator those test cases where the coverage was below 85%.
Testing was executed on a simulator and on the target hardware.
For the testing performed by the evaluators, the developer provided samples and a test environment.
The evaluators reproduced 10 of the developer tests, as well as 2 test cases designed by the
evaluator.
2.6.2 Independent penetration testing
The total test effort expended by the evaluators was 4 weeks. During that test campaign, 20% of the
total time was spent on perturbation attacks, 20% on side-channel testing, and 60% on software
attacks.
2.6.3 Test configuration
The configuration of the sample used for independent evaluator testing and penetration testing was
the same as described in the [ST].
The evaluator testing and penetration testing was performed on the TOE in pre-personalisation,
personalisation and operational life-cycle states with applet instance configurations specified in the
Security Target [ST].
2.6.4 Test results
The testing activities, including configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed
results are summarised in the [ETR], with references to the documents containing the full details.
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests produced the expected results, giving
assurance that the TOE behaves as specified in its [ST] and functional specification.
No exploitable vulnerabilities were found with the independent penetration tests.
The algorithmic security level of cryptographic functionality has not been rated in this certification
process, but the current consensus on the algorithmic security level in the open domain, i.e., from the
current best cryptanalytic attacks published, has been taken into account.
2.7 Reused Evaluation Results
There has been extensive reuse of the ALC aspects for the site involved in the development and
production of the TOE, by use of a Site Technical Audit Report [STAR].
2.8 Evaluated Configuration
The TOE is defined uniquely by its name and version number Veridos Suite v4.0 – cryptovision
ePasslet Suite – Java Card applet configuration providing Secure Signature Creation Device with Key
import (SSCD). Before the operational state, the user can verify the TOE version as described in
AGD_PRE chapter 2.5.3.
2.9 Evaluation Results
The evaluation lab documented their evaluation results in the [ETR], which references an ASE
Intermediate Report and other evaluator documents, and a Site Technical Audit Report for the site
[STAR] 2.
The verdict of each claimed assurance requirement is “Pass”.
Based on the above evaluation results the evaluation lab concluded the Veridos Suite v4.0 –
cryptovision ePasslet Suite – Java Card applet configuration providing Secure Signature Creation
Device with Key import (SSCD), to be CC Part 2 extended, CC Part 3 conformant, and to meet the

requirements of EAL 5 augmented with ALC_DVS.2 and AVA_VAN.5. This implies that the product
satisfies the security requirements specified in Security Target [ST].
The Security Target claims ’strict’ conformance to Protection Profile [PP_75].
2.10 Comments/Recommendations
The user guidance as outlined in section 2.5 “Documentation” contains necessary information about
the usage of the TOE. Certain aspects of the TOE’s security functionality, in particular the
countermeasures against attacks, depend on accurate conformance to the user guidance of both the
software and the hardware part of the TOE. There are no particular obligations or recommendations
for the user apart from following the user guidance. Please note that the documents contain relevant
details concerning the resistance against certain attacks.
In addition, all aspects of assumptions, threats and policies as outlined in the Security Target not
covered by the TOE itself must be fulfilled by the operational environment of the TOE.
The customer or user of the product shall consider the results of the certification within his system risk
management process. For the evolution of attack methods and techniques to be covered, the
customer should define the period of time until a re-assessment for the TOE is required and thus
requested from the sponsor of the certificate.
The strength of the cryptographic algorithms and protocols was not rated in the course of this
evaluation. This specifically applies to the following proprietary or non-standard algorithms, protocols
and implementations: none, which are out of scope as there are no security claims relating to these.
