CC - under certain conditions was agreed.
2.1 European Recognition of ITSEC/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 and in addition at higher recognition levels for IT-Products related to certain technical
domains only.
The basic recognition level includes Common Criteria (CC) Evaluation Assurance Levels
EAL1 to EAL4 and ITSEC Evaluation Assurance Levels E1 to E3 (basic). For higher
recognition levels the technical domain Smart card and similar Devices has been defined.
It includes assurance levels beyond EAL4 resp. E3 (basic). In Addition, certificates issued
for Protection Profiles based on Common Criteria are part of the recognition agreement.

BSI-DSZ-CC-0819-2012 Certification Report
● all stipulations regarding generation, configuration and operation, as given in the
following report, are observed,
● the product is operated in the environment described, as specified in the following report
and in the Security Target.
For the meaning of the assurance levels please refer to the excerpts from the criteria at
the end of the Certification Report.
The Certificate issued confirms the assurance of the product claimed in the Security Target
at the date of certification. As attack methods evolve over time, the resistance of the
certified version of the product against new attack methods needs to be re-assessed.
Therefore, the sponsor shall apply for the certified product being monitored within the
assurance continuity program of the BSI Certification Scheme (e.g. by a re-certification).
Specifically, if results of the certification are used in subsequent evaluation and certification
procedures, in a system integration process or if a user's risk management needs regularly
updated results, it is recommended to perform a re-assessment on a regular e.g. annual
basis.
In case of changes to the certified version of the product, the validity can be extended to
the new versions and releases, provided the sponsor applies for assurance continuity (i.e.
re-certification or maintenance) of the modified product, in accordance with the procedural
requirements, and the evaluation does not reveal any security deficiencies.

Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0819-2012
1 Executive Summary
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) is the product STARCOS 3.5 ID SAC+EAC+AA C1
provided by Giesecke & Devrient GmbH, based on the hardware platform M7820 A11 by
Infineon Technologies (Certificate-ID: BSI-DSZ-CC-0813-2012) [13]. The TOE is an
electronic machine readable travel document (MRTD, or passport) representing a
contactless smart card developed according to the Technical Guideline TR-03110, [15];
ICAO specification for Supplemental Access Control, [16] and ICAO specifications for
electronically enabled passports, [17].
For CC evaluation the following applications of corresponding product will be considered:
● The ePassport Application containing the related user data (incl. Biometric data) as well
as the data needed for authentication (incl. MRZ) as specified in [15] and [17], [18]; with
this application the TOE is intended to be used as a machine readable travel document
(MRTD)
● Guidance Documentation for the Personalization Phase,
● Guidance Documentation for the Usage Phase.
For details please see table 2 in chapter 2 of this report.
The TOE operating system does not include other applications than the ePassport
application. Also, the GMA Verifier version 4.0 and its configuration file is part of the TOE.
The Verifier is a configurable comparison tool for initialisation table images, which is used
by the developer in order to verify the created initialisation table against the Generic
Application Specification, [14]. The Verifier is not part of delivery to the user.
The generic application specification is implemented in the reference images, which are
used with according configuration files with the Verifier to approve the correctness of
developed initialisation tables. The GMA verifier is part of the TOE and has therefore been
evaluated but it is not part of the delivery to the customer. It is used as a tool within the
developer's environment.
The Security Target [6] and [7] is the basis for this certification. It is based on the certified
Protection Profiles Electronic Passport using Standard Inspection Procedure with PACE
(ePass_PACE PP), Version 1.0, 2 November 2011, BSI-CC-PP-0068-V2-2011,
Machine Readable Travel Document with "ICAO Application" Extended Access Control,
Version 1.3, 10 February 2012, BSI-CC-PP-0056-V2-2012 [9] and [10].
The TOE Security Assurance Requirements (SAR) are based entirely on the assurance
components defined in Part 3 of the Common Criteria (see part C or [1], Part 3 for details).
The TOE meets the assurance requirements of the Evaluation Assurance Level EAL 4
augmented by ALC_DVS.2, ATE_DPT.2 and AVA_VAN.5.
The TOE Security Functional Requirements (SFR) relevant for the TOE are outlined in the
Security Target [6] and [7], chapter 6. They are selected from Common Criteria Part 2 and
some of them are newly defined. Thus the TOE is CC Part 2 extended.
The TOE Security Functional Requirements are implemented by the following TOE
Security Functionality:
Identifier Addressed issue
SF_AccessControl The TOE provides access control mechanisms
that allow among others the maintenance
10 / 36
BSI-DSZ-CC-0819-2012 Certification Report
Identifier Addressed issue
of different users.
SF_Authentication TSF-mediated actions on behalf of a user require
the user’s prior successful identification and
authentication. After activation or reset of the
TOE no user is authenticated.
SF_AssetProtection The TOE supports the calculation of block check
values for data integrity checking. The TOE hides
information about IC power consumption and
command execution time ensuring that no
confidential information can be derived from this
information.
SF_TSFProtection The TOE is resistant to and detects physical
tampering of the TSF.
SF_KeyManagement The TOE supports onboard generation of
cryptographic keys.
Table 1: TOE Security Functionality
For more details please refer to the Security Target [6] and [7], chapter 7.
The assets to be protected by the TOE are defined in the Security Target [6] and [7],
chapter 3. Based on these assets the TOE Security Problem is defined in terms of
Assumptions, Threats and Organisational Security Policies. This is outlined in the Security
Target [6] and [7], chapter 3.
This certification covers the following configurations of the TOE: STARCOS 3.5 ID
SAC+EAC+AA C1 provided by Giesecke & Devrient GmbH , configured as described in
the Guidance Documents [11] and [12] provided with the TOE (for details refer to chapter
8).
The vulnerability assessment results as stated within this certificate do not include a rating
for those cryptographic algorithms and their implementation suitable for encryption and
decryption (see BSIG Section 9, Para. 4, Clause 2).
The certification results only apply to the version of the product indicated in the certificate
and on the condition that all the stipulations are kept as detailed in this Certification
Report. This certificate is not an endorsement of the IT product by the Federal Office for
Information Security (BSI) or any other organisation that recognises or gives effect to this
certificate, and no warranty of the IT product by BSI or any other organisation that
recognises or gives effect to this certificate, is either expressed or implied.

The customer specific ROM mask for the STARCOS 3.5 ID SAC+EAC+AA C1 on the
hardware platform M7820 A11 is labelled CIF9DSCSR35-01c_V200.
The user is provided with guidance for TOE identification in [11]. The personalisation agent
can use the ‘GET PROTOCOL DATA’ command (CLA = A0; INS = CA) to read out the chip
information and identify of the ES embedded in the chip.
The following command parameters can be used to retrieve identification data:
Command parameters P1=’9F’ P2=’6B’, Identifier length 8 bytes, Description: Chip
manufacturer data (Chip manufacturer’s ROM mask ID) varying in dependence on the
used hardware (different non-volatile memory size).
Command parameters P1=’9F’ P2=’6A’, Identifier length 5 bytes, Description: Version of
the operating system (OS-Manufacturer / OS version number / Version of ROM mask).
12 / 36
BSI-DSZ-CC-0819-2012 Certification Report
Command parameters P1=’9F’ P2=’67’, Identifier length 3 bytes, Description: Version of
the completion level of the operating system and initialisation table.
Due to the type of the TOE, which is a MRTD, the version of the initialisation tables will be
approved on the final product by help of the following method. The initialisation table
implies the completion data; thereby the completion level can be uniquely identified during
personalisation as presented in the list above. According to chapter 1.2 of [6] and [7], the
developer provides a generic document [14] to the user (in this case: the user is the
personalisation agent), which states the initialisation table identification in correspondence
with the acquired Common Criteria certificate. [14] is individual for each initialisation table
and each customer order and contains the following data for the user (i.e. the
personalisation agent):
● a unique value, retrievable with the GET PROTOCOL DATA with tag 9F67 (last 16
bytes),
● the associated identifier with format CIFxDSCSI35-y-1201_Vzzz, with 'x' values for the
non-volatie memory size of the TOE: 'A' for STARCOS 3.5 ID SAC+EAC+AA C1/800, 'B'
for STARCOS 3.5 ID SAC+EAC+AA C1/360, '9' for STARCOS 3.5 ID SAC+EAC+AA
C1/1280,
● 'y' values for communication protocol: 'A' for T=CL type A, 'B' for T=CL type B,
● 'zzz' values for consecutive number, where the range is fixed to 001-999,
● the correspondence with the certification ID.
All initialisation tables listed in document [14] have to pass a validation by the GMA
Verifier. The functionality of the Verifier has been evaluated and tested as part of the
evaluation.
Following are described the other identification values retrieved from the evaluated TOE
configurations.
The initialisation and personalisation agent can use the ‘GET PROTOCOL DATA’
com-mand as described above to read out the chip information and identify the chip. The
following list describes the evaluated configuration:
Chip manufacturer data (Chip manufacturer’s ROM mask ID) varying in dependence on
the used hardware (different non-volatile memory size) for TOE STARCOS 3.5 ID
SAC+EAC+AA C1/360, Identifier Data: 05 77 33 00 B1 00 8B 01; For TOE STARCOS 3.5

3.5 ID SAC+EAC+AA C1/1280, Identifier Data: 05 77 33 00 A7 00 23 00.
Version of the operating system (OS-Manufacturer / OS version number / Version of ROM
mask) for all TOE-HW configurations, Identifier Data: 47 44 00 B5 02.
Version of the completion level of the operating system and initialisation table for all
TOE-HW configurations, Identifier Data: 02 01 01
The details to the above, such as the parameters and the command are described in more
detail in sec 5.6.1 of [11].
3 Security Policy
The Security Policy is expressed by the set of Security Functional Requirements and
implemented by the TOE. It is defined according to the Common Criteria Protection
Profiles Electronic Passport using Standard Inspection Procedure with PACE
13 / 36
Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0819-2012
(ePass_PACE PP), Version 1.0, 10 November 2011, BSI-CC-PP-0068-V2-2011, and
Machine Readable Travel Document with "ICAO Application" Extended Access Control,
Version 1.3, 10 February 2012, BSI-CC-PP-0056-V2-2012.
4 Assumptions and Clarification of Scope
The Assumptions defined in the Security Target and some aspects of Threats and
Organisational Security Policies are not covered by the TOE itself. These aspects lead to
specific security objectives to be fulfilled by the TOE-Environment. The following topics are
of relevance: OE.Auth_Key_Travel_Document, OE.Authoriz_Sens_Data,
OE.Exam_Travel_Document, OE.Prot_Logical_Travel_Document, OE.Ext_Insp_Systems,
OE.Legislative_Compliance, OE.Passive_Auth_Sign, OE.Personalisation, OE.Terminal,
OE.Travel_Document_Holder, OE.Active_Auth_Key_Travel_Document. Details can be
found in the Security Target [6] and [7], chapter 4.
5 Architectural Information
The TOE is a composite product. It is composed from an Integrated Circuit, IC Embedded
Software and IC Application Software containing the ePassport Application. The IC
Embedded software contains the operating system STARCOS 3.5. For details concerning
the CC evaluation of the underlying IC see the evaluation documentation under the
certification ID BSI-DSZ-CC-0813-2012.
According to the TOE Design the security functionality of the TOE are enforced by the
following subsystems:
● System Library (contains the application framework)
● Runtime System (main loop and command interpreter)
● Chip Card Commands (pre-processor and processor of all implemented commands)
● Security Management (manages the security environment, security states and rule
analysis)
● Key Management (search, pre-process, use and post-process of keys)
● Secure Messaging (SM handling)
● Crypto Functions (library with an API to all cryptographic operations)
6 Documentation
The evaluated documentation as outlined in table 2 is being provided with the product to
the customer. This documentation contains the required information for secure usage of
the TOE in accordance with the Security Target.
Additional obligations and notes for secure usage of the TOE as outlined in chapter 10 of
this report have to be followed.
7 IT Product Testing
The developer tested all TOE Security Functionality either on real cards or with simulator
tests. For all commands and functionality tests, test cases are specified in order to
demonstrate its expected behaviour including error cases. Hereby a representative sample
including all boundary values of the parameter set, e.g. all command APDUs with valid and
14 / 36
BSI-DSZ-CC-0819-2012 Certification Report
invalid inputs were tested and all functionality were tested with valid and invalid inputs.
Repetition of developer tests were performed during the independent evaluator tests.
Since many Security Functionality can be tested by TR-03110 APDU command
sequences, the evaluators performed these tests with real cards. This is considered to be
a reasonable approach because the developer tests include a full coverage of all security
functionality. Furthermore penetration tests were chosen by the evaluators for those
Security Functionality where internal secrets of the card could maybe be modified or
observed during testing. During their independent testing, the evaluators covered
● testing APDU commands related to Key Management and Crypto Functions,
● testing APDU commands related to NVM Management and File System,
● testing APDU commands related to Security Management,
● testing APDU commands related to Secure Messaging,
● testing APDU commands related to Runtime System and System Library,
● penetration testing related to verify the Reliability of the TOE,
● source code analysis performed by the evaluators,
● testing the commands which are used to execute the PACE protocol,
● side channel analysis for SHA, RSA and ECC (including ECC key generation),
● fault injection attacks (laser attacks),
● testing GMA Verifier
● testing APDU commands for the initialization, personalization and usage phase,
● testing APDU commands for the commands using cryptographic mechanisms,
● side channel analysis,
● fault injection tests.
The evaluators have tested the TOE systematically against high attack potential during
their penetration testing.
The achieved test results correspond to the expected test results.
8 Evaluated Configuration
The TOE evaluated configuration is defined by the notation:
STARCOS 3.5 ID SAC+EAC+AA C1 on the hardware platform M7820 A11 and configured
as described in the Generic SAC MRTD Application STARCOS 3.5 ID SAC+EAC+AA C1,
[14] and as described in the Guidance Documents [11] and [12] provided with the TOE.
The initialisation and personalisation agent can use the ‘GET PROTOCOL DATA’
command as described in chapter 2 (above) to read out the chip information and identify
the chip. The following information describes the evaluated configuration:
● Chip manufacturer data (Chip manufacturer’s ROM mask ID) varying in dependence on
the used hardware (different non-volatile memory size) for TOE STARCOS 3.5 ID
SAC+EAC+AA C1/360, Identifier Data: 05 77 33 00 B1 00 8B 01; For TOE STARCOS

The Evaluation Technical Report (ETR) [8] was provided by the ITSEF according to the
Common Criteria [1], the Methodology [2], the requirements of the Scheme [3] and all
interpretations and guidelines of the Scheme (AIS) [4] as relevant for the TOE.
The Evaluation Methodology CEM [2] was used for those components up to EAL4
extended by advice of the Certification Body for components beyond EAL 4 and guidance
specific for the technology of the product [4] (AIS 34).
The following guidance specific for the technology was used:
● The Application of CC to Integrated Circuits,
● Application of Attack Potential to Smartcards,
● Public Version of Security Targets (ST-Lite) including JIL Document and CC Supporting
Document and CCRA policies
● Composite product evaluation for Smart Cards and similar devices ([4], AIS 36).
According to this concept the relevant guidance documents of the underlying platform
and the documents ETR for Composition from the platform evaluations (i.e. on hardware
[13, 20] have been applied in the TOE evaluation.
(see [4], AIS 25, AIS 26, AIS 35).
For RNG assessment the scheme interpretations AIS 20 was used (see [4]).
As a result of the evaluation the verdict PASS is confirmed for the following assurance
components:
● All components of the EAL 4 package including the class ASE as defined in the CC (see
also part C of this report)
● The components ALC_DVS.2, ATE_DPT.2 and AVA_VAN.5 augmented for this TOE

Table 3: Cryptographic Algorithms used by the TOE
All cryptographic algorithms listed in table 3 are implemented by the TOE because of the
standards building the TOE application (e.g. TR-03110 [15]). For that reason an explicit
validity period is not given.
The strength of the cryptographic algorithms was not rated in the course of this certification
procedure (see BSIG Section 9, Para. 3, Clause 2). According to Technical Guideline
BSI-TR-03110, Version 2.05 [15], the algorithms are suitable for securing integrity,
authenticity and confidentiality of the stored data for Electronic Identity Cards.
10 Obligations and Notes for the Usage of the TOE
The documents as outlined in table 2 contain necessary information about the usage of the
TOE and all security hints therein have to be considered. In addition all aspects of
Assumptions, Threats and OSPs as outlined in the Security Target not covered by the TOE
itself need to 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. In order for the evolution of attack methods and
techniques to be covered, he should define the period of time until a re-assessment for the
TOE is required and thus requested from the sponsor of the certificate.
11 Security Target
For the purpose of publishing, the Security Target [7] of the Target of Evaluation (TOE) is
provided within a separate document as Annex A of this report. It is a sanitised version of
the complete Security Target [6] used for the evaluation performed. Sanitisation was
performed according to the rules as outlined in the relevant CCRA policy (see AIS 35 [4]).

C Excerpts from the Criteria
CC Part1:
Conformance Claim (chapter 10.4)
“The conformance claim indicates the source of the collection of requirements that is met
by a PP or ST that passes its evaluation. This conformance claim contains a CC
conformance claim that:
● describes the version of the CC to which the PP or ST claims conformance.
● describes the conformance to CC Part 2 (security functional requirements) as either:
– CC Part 2 conformant - A PP or ST is CC Part 2 conformant if all SFRs in that
PP or ST are based only upon functional components in CC Part 2, or
– CC Part 2 extended - A PP or ST is CC Part 2 extended if at least one SFR in
that PP or ST is not based upon functional components in CC Part 2.
● describes the conformance to CC Part 3 (security assurance requirements) as either:
– CC Part 3 conformant - A PP or ST is CC Part 3 conformant if all SARs in that
PP or ST are based only upon assurance components in CC Part 3, or
– CC Part 3 extended - A PP or ST is CC Part 3 extended if at least one SAR in
that PP or ST is not based upon assurance components in CC Part 3.
Additionally, the conformance claim may include a statement made with respect to
packages, in which case it consists of one of the following:
● Package name Conformant - A PP or ST is conformant to a pre-defined package
(e.g. EAL) if:
– the SFRs of that PP or ST are identical to the SFRs in the package, or
– the SARs of that PP or ST are identical to the SARs in the package.
● Package name Augmented - A PP or ST is an augmentation of a predefined package
if:
– the SFRs of that PP or ST contain all SFRs in the package, but have at least
one additional SFR or one SFR that is hierarchically higher than an SFR in the
package.
– the SARs of that PP or ST contain all SARs in the package, but have at least
one additional SAR or one SAR that is hierarchically higher than an SAR in the
package.
Note that when a TOE is successfully evaluated to a given ST, any conformance claims of
the ST also hold for the TOE. A TOE can therefore also be e.g. CC Part 2 conformant.
Finally, the conformance claim may also include two statements with respect to Protection
Profiles:
● PP Conformant - A PP or TOE meets specific PP(s), which are listed as part of the
conformance result.
● Conformance Statement (Only for PPs) - This statement describes the manner in
which PPs or STs must conform to this PP: strict or demonstrable. For more
information on this Conformance Statement, see Annex D.”

Evaluation assurance levels (chapter 8)
“The Evaluation Assurance Levels (EALs) provide an increasing scale that balances the
level of assurance obtained with the cost and feasibility of acquiring that degree of
assurance. The CC approach identifies the separate concepts of assurance in a TOE at
the end of the evaluation, and of maintenance of that assurance during the operational use
of the TOE.
It is important to note that not all families and components from CC Part 3 are included in
the EALs. This is not to say that these do not provide meaningful and desirable
assurances. Instead, it is expected that these families and components will be considered
for augmentation of an EAL in those PPs and STs for which they provide utility.”
Evaluation assurance level (EAL) overview (chapter 8.1)
“Table 1 represents a summary of the EALs. The columns represent a hierarchically
ordered set of EALs, while the rows represent assurance families. Each number in the
resulting matrix identifies a specific assurance component where applicable.
As outlined in the next Section, seven hierarchically ordered evaluation assurance levels
are defined in the CC for the rating of a TOE's assurance. They are hierarchically ordered
inasmuch as each EAL represents more assurance than all lower EALs. The increase in
assurance from EAL to EAL is accomplished by substitution of a hierarchically higher
assurance component from the same assurance family (i.e. increasing rigour, scope,
and/or depth) and from the addition of assurance components from other assurance
families (i.e. adding new requirements).
These EALs consist of an appropriate combination of assurance components as described
in Chapter 7 of this CC Part 3. More precisely, each EAL includes no more than one
component of each assurance family and all assurance dependencies of every component
are addressed.
While the EALs are defined in the CC, it is possible to represent other combinations of
assurance. Specifically, the notion of “augmentation” allows the addition of assurance
components (from assurance families not already included in the EAL) or the substitution
of assurance components (with another hierarchically higher assurance component in the
same assurance family) to an EAL. Of the assurance constructs defined in the CC, only
EALs may be augmented. The notion of an “EAL minus a constituent assurance
component” is not recognised by the standard as a valid claim. Augmentation carries with
it the obligation on the part of the claimant to justify the utility and added value of the
added assurance component to the EAL. An EAL may also be augmented with extended
assurance requirements.

Table 1: Evaluation assurance level summary”
28 / 36
BSI-DSZ-CC-0819-2012 Certification Report
Evaluation assurance level 1 (EAL1) - functionally tested (chapter 8.3)
“Objectives
EAL1 is applicable where some confidence in correct operation is required, but the threats
to security are not viewed as serious. It will be of value where independent assurance is
required to support the contention that due care has been exercised with respect to the
protection of personal or similar information.
EAL1 requires only a limited security target. It is sufficient to simply state the SFRs that the
TOE must meet, rather than deriving them from threats, OSPs and assumptions through
security objectives.
EAL1 provides an evaluation of the TOE as made available to the customer, including
independent testing against a specification, and an examination of the guidance
documentation provided. It is intended that an EAL1 evaluation could be successfully
conducted without assistance from the developer of the TOE, and for minimal outlay.
An evaluation at this level should provide evidence that the TOE functions in a manner
consistent with its documentation.”
Evaluation assurance level 2 (EAL2) - structurally tested (chapter 8.4)
“Objectives
EAL2 requires the co-operation of the developer in terms of the delivery of design
information and test results, but should not demand more effort on the part of the
developer than is consistent with good commercial practise. As such it should not require a
substantially increased investment of cost or time.
EAL2 is therefore applicable in those circumstances where developers or users require a
low to moderate level of independently assured security in the absence of ready
availability of the complete development record. Such a situation may arise when securing
legacy systems, or where access to the developer may be limited.”
Evaluation assurance level 3 (EAL3) - methodically tested and checked (chapter 8.5)
“Objectives
EAL3 permits a conscientious developer to gain maximum assurance from positive
security engineering at the design stage without substantial alteration of existing sound
development practises.
EAL3 is applicable in those circumstances where developers or users require a moderate
level of independently assured security, and require a thorough investigation of the TOE
and its development without substantial re-engineering.”
29 / 36
Certification Report BSI-DSZ-CC-0819-2012
Evaluation assurance level 4 (EAL4) - methodically designed, tested, and reviewed
(chapter 8.6)
“Objectives
EAL4 permits a developer to gain maximum assurance from positive security engineering
based on good commercial development practises which, though rigorous, do not require
substantial specialist knowledge, skills, and other resources. EAL4 is the highest level at
which it is likely to be economically feasible to retrofit to an existing product line.
EAL4 is therefore applicable in those circumstances where developers or users require a
moderate to high level of independently assured security in conventional commodity TOEs
and are prepared to incur additional security-specific engineering costs.”
Evaluation assurance level 5 (EAL5) - semiformally designed and tested (chapter 8.7)
“Objectives
EAL5 permits a developer to gain maximum assurance from security engineering based
upon rigorous commercial development practises supported by moderate application of
specialist security engineering techniques. Such a TOE will probably be designed and
developed with the intent of achieving EAL5 assurance. It is likely that the additional costs
attributable to the EAL5 requirements, relative to rigorous development without the
application of specialised techniques, will not be large.
EAL5 is therefore applicable in those circumstances where developers or users require a
high level of independently assured security in a planned development and require a
rigorous development approach without incurring unreasonable costs attributable to
specialist security engineering techniques.”
Evaluation assurance level 6 (EAL6) - semiformally verified design and tested
(chapter 8.8)
“Objectives
EAL6 permits developers to gain high assurance from application of security engineering
techniques to a rigorous development environment in order to produce a premium TOE for
protecting high value assets against significant risks.
EAL6 is therefore applicable to the development of security TOEs for application in high
risk situations where the value of the protected assets justifies the additional costs.”

Evaluation assurance level 7 (EAL7) - formally verified design and tested
(chapter 8.9)
“Objectives
EAL7 is applicable to the development of security TOEs for application in extremely high
risk situations and/or where the high value of the assets justifies the higher costs. Practical
application of EAL7 is currently limited to TOEs with tightly focused security functionality
that is amenable to extensive formal analysis.”
Class AVA: Vulnerability assessment (chapter 16)
“The AVA: Vulnerability assessment class addresses the possibility of exploitable
vulnerabilities introduced in the development or the operation of the TOE.”
Vulnerability analysis (AVA_VAN) (chapter 16.1)
"Objectives
Vulnerability analysis is an assessment to determine whether potential vulnerabilities
identified, during the evaluation of the development and anticipated operation of the TOE
or by other methods (e.g. by flaw hypotheses or quantitative or statistical analysis of the
security behaviour of the underlying security mechanisms), could allow attackers to violate
the SFRs.
Vulnerability analysis deals with the threats that an attacker will be able to discover flaws
that will allow unauthorised access to data and functionality, allow the ability to interfere
with or alter the TSF, or interfere with the authorised capabilities of other users.”
