1.3. TOE Overview
The protection profile [5] defines the security objectives and requirements for the contactless chip of
machine readable travel documents (MRTD) based on the requirements and recommendations of the
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). It addresses the advanced security methods Basic
Access Control (BAC) and Extended Access Control (EAC) and Chip Authentication similar to the Active
Authentication in the Technical reports of ‗ICAO Doc 9303‘ [15].
Athena ePassport is configurable in BAC or EAC chip authentication modes, with or without Active
Authentication [15]. Also, it supports contact and contactless communication.
This ST applies to the EAC configuration with or without Active Authentication.
1.3.1. TOE Definition
The Target of Evaluation (TOE) is the integrated circuit chip of machine readable travel documents
(MRTD‘s chip) programmed according to the Logical Data Structure (LDS) [15] and providing the BAC
and EAC according to the ‗ICAO Doc 9303‘ [15] and BSI TR-03110 [16], respectively.
The TOE comprises at least:
- the circuitry of the MRTD‘s chip (ST23YR48/80 IC [6, 7])
- the IC Dedicated Software with the parts IC Dedicated Test and Support Software
- the IC Embedded Software (IDProtect Operating System)
- the MRTD application (ICAO applet)
- the associated guidance documentation
1.3.2. TOE usage and security features for operational use
A State or Organization issues MRTDs to be used by the holder for international travel. The traveler
presents a MRTD to the inspection system to prove his or her identity. The MRTD in context of this TOE
contains (i) visual (eye readable) biographical data and portrait of the holder, (ii) a separate data summary
(MRZ data) for visual and machine reading using OCR methods in the Machine readable zone (MRZ) and
(iii) data elements on the MRTD‘s chip according to LDS for contactless machine reading. The
authentication of the traveler is based on (i) the possession of a valid MRTD personalized for a holder
with the claimed identity as given on the biographical data page and (ii) optional biometrics using the
reference data stored in the MRTD. The issuing State or Organization ensures the authenticity of the data
of genuine MRTD‘s. The receiving State trusts a genuine MRTD of an issuing State or Organization.
The issuing State or Organization implements security features of the MRTD to maintain the authenticity
and integrity of the MRTD and their data. The MRTD as the passport book and the MRTD‘s chip is
uniquely identified by the Document Number.
The physical MRTD is protected by physical security measures (e.g. watermark on paper, security
printing), logical (e.g. authentication keys of the MRTD‘s chip) and organizational security measures (e.g.
control of materials, personalization procedures) [15]. These security measures include the binding of the
MRTD‘s chip to the passport book.
The logical MRTD is protected in authenticity and integrity by a digital signature created by the document
signer acting for the issuing State or Organization and the security features of the MRTD‘s chip.
The ICAO defines the baseline security methods (Passive Authentication) and the optional advanced
security methods (BAC to the logical MRTD, Active Authentication of the MRTD‘s chip, EAC to the logical
MRTD and the Data Encryption of additional sensitive biometrics) as optional security measure in the
‗ICAO Doc 9303‘ [15]. The Passive Authentication Mechanism and the Data Encryption are performed
completely and independently on the TOE by the TOE environment.
This TOE addresses the protection of the logical MRTD (i) in integrity by write only- once access control
and by physical means, and (ii) in confidentiality by the BAC Mechanism. This TOE does not address
EAC (Extended Access Control), and this TOE addresses the AA as an optional security mechanism.

1.4. TOE Description
1.4.1. General
The TOE is an MRTD IC where application software is masked in ROM and that can be assembled in a
variety of form factors. The main form factor is the electronic passport, a paper book passport embedding
a contactless module.
The scope of this TOE is covered in section 1.3.1 above.
The followings are an informal and non-exhaustive list of example logical and physical representations of
possible end products embedding the TOE:
- Contactless interface cards and modules
- Dual interface cards and modules
- Contact only cards and modules
- SOIC8 package
- QFN44 package
- Chip on Board (PCB)
Figure 1 – TOE Logical Representation
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 8 of 68
The TOE is linked to a MRTD reader via its HW and physical interfaces.
 The contactless type interface of the TOE smartcard is ISO/IEC 14443 compliant.
 The optional contact type interface of the TOE smartcard is ISO/IEC 7816 compliant.
 The optional interfaces of the TOE SOIC-8 are ISO 9141 compliant.
 The optional interfaces of the TOE QNF-44 are JEDEC compliant.
There are no other external interfaces of the TOE except the ones described above.
The antenna and the packaging, including their external interfaces, are out of the scope of this
TOE.
The TOE may be applied to a contact reader or to a contactless reader, depending on the external
interface type(s) available in its form factor. The readers are connected to a computer and allow
application programs (APs) to use the TOE.
1.4.2. MRTD’s chip
For this TOE the MRTD is viewed as unit of
(1) The physical MRTD as travel document in form of paper, plastic and chip. It presents visual
readable data including (but not limited to) personal data of the MRTD holder
a. the biographical data on the biographical data page of the passport book,
b. the printed data in the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) and
c. the printed portrait.
(2) The logical MRTD as data of the MRTD holder stored according to the Logical Data Structure
[15] as specified by ICAO on the contactless integrated circuit. It presents contactless readable
data including (but not limited to) personal data of the MRTD holder
a. the digital Machine Readable Zone Data (digital MRZ data, EF.DG1),
b. the digitized portraits (EF.DG2),
c. the biometric reference data of finger(s) (EF.DG3) or iris image(s) (EF.DG4) or both,
d. the other data according to LDS (EF.DG5 to EF.DG16) and
e. the Document security object.
This TOE addresses the protection of the logical MRTD:
 in integrity by write-only-once access control and by physical means, and
 in confidentiality by the Extended Access Control Mechanism.
This TOE addresses the Chip Authentication described in [16] as an alternative to the Active
Authentication stated in [15].

1.4.3. Basic Access Control
The confidentiality by Basic Access Control (BAC) is a mandatory security feature that is implemented by
the TOE. For BAC, the inspection system
(i) reads optically the MRTD,
(ii) authenticates itself as an inspection system by means of Document Basic Access Keys.
After successful authentication of the inspection system the MRTD‘s chip provides read access to the
logical MRTD by means of private communication (secure messaging) with this inspection system [15],
normative appendix 5.
The ICAO Basic protection profile [4] requires the TOE to implement the Chip Authentication defined in
[16]. The Chip Authentication prevents data traces described in [15], informative appendix 7, A7.3.3. The
Chip Authentication is provided by the following steps:
(i) the inspection system communicates by means of secure messaging established by Basic
Access Control,
(ii) the inspection system reads and verifies by means of the Passive Authentication the authenticity
of the MRTD‘s Chip Authentication Public Key using the Document Security Object,
(iii) the inspection system generates an ephemeral key pair,
(iv) the TOE and the inspection system agree on two session keys for secure messaging in
ENC_MAC mode according to the Diffie-Hellman Primitive and
(v) the inspection system verifies by means of received message authentication codes whether the
MRTD‘s chip was able or not to run this protocol properly (i.e. the TOE proves to be in possession
of the Chip Authentication Private Key corresponding to the Chip Authentication Public Key used
for derivation of the session keys).
The Chip Authentication requires collaboration of the TOE and the TOE environment.

V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 10 of 68
1.4.4. Active Authentication
This TOE offers an optional mechanism called Active Authentication and specified in [16] section 1.2. This
security feature is a digital security feature that prevents cloning by introducing a chip-individual key pair:
(i) The public key is stored in data group DG15 and thus protected by Passive Authentication.
(ii) The corresponding private key is stored in secure memory and may only be used internally by the
MRTD chip and cannot be read out.
Thus, the chip can prove knowledge of this private key in a challenge-response protocol, which is called
Active Authentication. In this protocol the MRTD chip digitally signs a challenge randomly chosen by the
inspection system. The inspection system recognizes that the MRTD chip is genuine if and only if the
returned signature is correct. Active Authentication is a straightforward protocol and prevents cloning very
effectively, but introduces a privacy threat: Challenge Semantics (see Appendix F for a discussion on
Challenge Semantics).

Other applet packages are present on the chip: Athena LASER applet and Athena MiniDriver applet. The
IASECC Applet package could be instantiated into an ICAO applet instance or an IAS-ECC applet
instance. The configuration of the evaluated product comprises only one applet instance: the ICAO applet
instance, which is in the TOE perimeter.
IDProtect Operating System enforces separation of the data between the applets and associated
packages imposing logical separation of data using the Java Card™ Firewall [11-JCRE]. LASER and IAS-
ECC are both PKI Java Card applications and follow the ISO7816 and IAS-ECC standards respectively.
They are both out of the scope of this TOE.
Athena IDProtect is a GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 and Java Card 2.2.2 compliant Operating System that
provides applets with standard services as defined in the related GlobalPlatform [13] and Java Card
specifications [12].
The hardware platform on which the Operating System is implemented is the STMicroelectronics
ST23YR48/80 IC. This IC is certified according to CC EAL 6+ [9] with the Security Target compliant with

Phase 1 “Development”
(Step1) The TOE is developed in phase 1. The IC developer develops the integrated circuit, the IC
Dedicated Software and the guidance documentation associated with these TOE components.
HW Design – STMicroelectronics
(Step2) The software developer uses the guidance documentation for the integrated circuit and the
guidance documentation for relevant parts of the IC Dedicated Software and develops the IC Embedded
Software (operating system), the MRTD application and the guidance documentation associated with
these TOE components.
OS Design – Athena Development departments – Cupertino, US
– Edinburgh, Scotland
Application Design – Athena Development departments – Cupertino, US
The manufacturing documentation of the IC including the IC Dedicated Software and the Embedded
Software in the non-volatile non-programmable memories (ROM) is securely delivered to the IC
manufacturer. The IC Embedded Software in the non-volatile programmable memories, the MRTD
application and the guidance documentation is securely delivered to the MRTD manufacturer.
Phase 2 “Manufacturing”
(Step3) In a first step the TOE integrated circuit is produced containing the MRTD‘s chip Dedicated
Software and the parts of the MRTD‘s chip Embedded Software in the non-volatile non-programmable
memories (ROM). The IC manufacturer writes the IC Identification Data onto the chip to control the IC as
MRTD material during the IC manufacturing and the delivery process to the MRTD manufacturer. The IC
is securely delivered from the IC manufacturer to the MRTD manufacturer.
The IC manufacturer adds the parts of the IC Embedded Software in the non-volatile programmable
memories (for instance EEPROM). Patch mechanism is terminated in this phase.
HW Fabrication and OS & Application implementation – STMicroelectronics
IC Manufacturing – STMicroelectronics
The Operating System and applicative parts of the TOE which are developed by Athena are sent in a
secure way to STMicroelectronics for masking in NVM. In addition to the TOE, the mask contains
confidential data, knowledge of which is required in order to initialize and personalize the chip. Additional
Java Card applets developed by Athena are included in the mask and the corresponding converted files
(.cap or.jca) are also provided to STMicroelectronics.
(Step4) During the step Pre-Perso, the MRTD manufacturer (i) creates the MRTD application and (ii)
equips MRTD‘s chips with pre-personalization Data.
IC Pre-Personalization – STMicroelectronics
Creation of the application implies applet instantiation and the creation of MF and ICAO.DF. Card Content
Loading and Installing mechanism is terminated in this phase.
The pre-personalized MRTD together with the IC Identifier is securely delivered from the MRTD
manufacturer to the Personalization Agent. The MRTD manufacturer also provides the relevant parts of
the guidance documentation to the Personalization Agent.
(Step5) The MRTD manufacturer combines the IC with hardware for the contactless interface in the
passport book.
IC Packaging – STMicroelectronics or specialized companies
MRTD Manufacturing – STMicroelectronics or specialized companies
This step corresponds to the integration of the hardware and firmware components into the final product
body. The TOE is protected during transfer between various parties. IC Packaging and MRTD
Manufacturing are not part of the scope of this TOE.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 14 of 68
Phase 3 “Personalization of the MRTD”
(Step6) The personalization of the MRTD includes:
(i) the survey of the MRTD holder‘s biographical data,
(ii) the enrolment of the MRTD holder biometric reference data,
(iii) the printing of the visual readable data onto the physical MRTD,
(iv) the writing of the TOE User Data and TSF Data into the logical MRTD and
(v) configuration of the TSF if necessary.
The step (iv) is performed by the Personalization Agent and includes but is not limited to the creation of
the digital MRZ data (EF.DG1), the digitized portrait (EF.DG2), and the Document security object. The
signing of the Document security object by the Document signer [15] finalizes the personalization of the
genuine MRTD for the MRTD holder. The personalized MRTD (together with appropriate guidance for
TOE use if necessary) is handed over to the MRTD holder for operational use.
Personalization – 3rd Party Personalization facility
The TOE is protected during transfer between various parties by the confidential information which
resides in the card during mask production.
The Personalization phase is not part of the scope of this TOE.
Phase 4 “Operational Use”
Where upon the card is delivered to the MRTD holder and until MRTD is expired or destroyed.
(Step7) The TOE is used as MRTD chip by the traveler and the inspection systems in the ―Operational
Use‖ phase. The user data can be read according to the security policy of the issuing State or
Organization and can be used according to the security policy of the issuing State but they can never be
modified.
The Operational Use phase is not part of the scope of this TOE.

3. Security Problem Definition
3.1. Assets
The assets to be protected by the TOE include the User Data on the MRTD‘s chip.
Logical MRTD sensitive User Data
Sensitive biometric reference data:
- EF.DG3: Biometric Finger(s)
- EF.DG4: Biometric Eye(s) Iris
Logical MRTD data
The ‗ICAO Doc 9303‘ [15] requires that Basic Inspection Systems must have access to:
- EF.COM: Common Data Elements, lists the existing EF with the user data
- EF.SOD: Document Security Object according to LDS [15] used by the inspection system for
Passive Authentication of the logical MRTD
- EF.DG1: document‘s data (Type, Issuing State or Organization, Number, Expiry Date, Optional
Data), holder‘s data (Name, Nationality, Date of Birth, Sex) and Check Digits
- EF.DG2: Encoded Face (Global Interchange Feature)
- EF.DG5: Biometric Face
- EF.DG7: Displayed Signature or Usual Mark
- EF.DG8: Displayed Portrait
- EF.DG9: Data Feature(s)
- EF.DG10: Structure Feature(s)
- EF.DG11: Additional Personal Detail(s)
- EF.DG12: Additional Document Detail(s)
- EF.DG13: optional Detail(s)
- EF.DG14: Security Info (Chip Authentication Public Key Info)
- EF.DG15: Active Authentication Public Key Info
- EF.DG16: Person(s) to Notify
Due to interoperability reasons with ‗ICAO Doc 9303‘ [4], the TOE specifies the BAC mechanisms with
resistance against enhanced basic attack potential granting access to:
o Logical MRTD standard User Data (i.e. Personal Data) of the MRTD holder (EF.DG1, EF.DG2,
EF.DG5 to EF.DG13, EF.DG16) (DG6 is absent),
o Chip Authentication Public Key in EF.DG14,
o Active Authentication Public Key in EF.DG15,
o Document Security Object (SOD) in EF.SOD,
o Common data in EF.COM.
The TOE prevents read access to sensitive User Data
o Sensitive biometric reference data (EF.DG3, EF.DG4).
Authenticity of the MRTD’s chip
The authenticity of the MRTD‘s chip personalized by the issuing State or Organization for the MRTD
holder is used by the traveler to prove his possession of a genuine MRTD.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 19 of 68
3.2. Subjects
This Security Target considers the following subjects:
S.Manufacturer
The generic term for the IC Manufacturer producing the integrated circuit and the MRTD Manufacturer

3.3. Assumptions
The assumptions describe the security aspects of the environment in which the TOE will be used or is
intended to be used.
A.MRTD_Manufact MRTD manufacturing on steps 4 to 6
It is assumed that appropriate functionality testing of the MRTD is used. It is assumed that security
procedures are used during all manufacturing and test operations to maintain confidentiality and
integrity of the MRTD and of its manufacturing and test data (to prevent any possible copy,
modification, retention, theft or unauthorized use).
A.MRTD_Delivery MRTD delivery during steps 4 to 6
Procedures shall guarantee the control of the TOE delivery and storage process and conformance to
its objectives:
- Procedures shall ensure protection of TOE material/information under delivery and storage.
- Procedures shall ensure that corrective actions are taken in case of improper operation in the
delivery process and storage.
- Procedures shall ensure that people dealing with the procedure for delivery have got the required
skill.
A.Pers_Agent Personalization of the MRTD‟s chip
The Personalization Agent ensures the correctness of
- the logical MRTD with respect to the MRTD holder,
- the Document Basic Access Keys,
- the Chip Authentication Public Key (EF.DG14) if stored on the MRTD‘s chip, and
- the Document Signer Public Key Certificate (if stored on the MRTD‘s chip).
The Personalization Agent signs the Document Security Object. The Personalization Agent bears the
Personalization Agent Authentication to authenticate himself to the TOE by symmetric cryptographic
mechanisms.
A.Pers_Agent_AA Personalization of the MRTD‟s chip including Active Authentication
The Personalization Agent ensures the correctness of the Active Authentication Public Key
(EF.DG15) if stored on the MRTD‘s chip.
The Personalization Agent bears the Personalization Agent Authentication to authenticate himself to
the TOE by symmetric cryptographic mechanisms.
A.Insp_Sys Inspection Systems for global interoperability
The Inspection System is used by the border control officer of the receiving State:
- examining an MRTD presented by the traveler and verifying its authenticity and
- verifying the traveler as MRTD holder.
The Basic Inspection System for global interoperability
- includes the Country Signing CA Public Key and the Document Signer Public Key of each issuing
State or Organization, and
- implements the terminal part of the Basic Access Control [15].
The Basic Inspection System reads the logical MRTD under Basic Access Control and performs the
Passive Authentication to verify the logical MRTD.
The General Inspection System in addition to the Basic Inspection System implements the Chip
Authentication Mechanism. The General Inspection System verifies the authenticity of the MRTD‘s
chip during inspection and establishes secure messaging with keys established by the Chip
Authentication Mechanism. The Extended Inspection System in addition to the General Inspection
System (i) supports the Terminal Authentication Protocol and (ii) is authorized by the issuing State or
Organization through the Document Verifier of the receiving State to read the sensitive biometric
reference data.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 21 of 68
A.Insp_Sys_AA Inspection Systems for global interoperability with Active Authentication
The Inspection System may also implement the terminal part of the Active Authentication Protocol.
A.BAC-Keys Cryptographic quality of Basic Access Control Keys
The Document Basic Access Control Keys being generated and imported by the issuing State or
Organization have to provide sufficient cryptographic strength. As a consequence of the ‗ICAO Doc
9303‘ [4], the Document Basic Access Control Keys are derived from a defined subset of the
individual printed MRZ data. It has to be ensured that these data provide sufficient entropy to
withstand any attack based on the decision that the inspection system has to derive Document
Access Keys from the printed MRZ data with enhanced basic attack potential.
Application note: When assessing the MRZ data resp. the BAC keys entropy potential dependencies
between these data (especially single items of the MRZ) have to be considered and taken into account.
E.g. there might be a direct dependency between the Document Number when chosen consecutively and
the issuing date.
3.4. Threat agent
S.ATTACKER
A threat agent trying
(i) to manipulate the logical MRTD without authorization,
(ii) to read sensitive biometric reference data (i.e. EF.DG3, EF.DG4) or
(iii) to forge a genuine MRTD.
This threat agent has basic attack potential.
Application note: Note that an attacker trying to identify and to trace the movement of the MRTD‟s chip
remotely (i.e. without knowing or optically reading the physical MRTD) is not considered by this PP since
this can only be averted by the BAC mechanism using the “weak” Document Basic Access Keys that is
covered by [4]. The same holds for the confidentiality of the user data EF.DG1, EF.DG2, EF.DG5 to
EF.DG16 as well as EF.SOD and EF.COM.
Application note: An impostor is attacking the inspection system as TOE IT environment independent on
using a genuine, counterfeit or forged MRTD. Therefore the impostor may use results of successful
attacks against the TOE but the attack itself is not relevant for the TOE.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 22 of 68
3.5. Threats
The TOE in collaboration with its IT environment shall avert the threats as specified below.
T.Chip_ID Identification of MRTD‟s chip
An attacker trying to trace the movement of the MRTD by identifying remotely the MRTD‘s chip by
establishing or listening to communications through the TOE communication interfaces.
The attacker has enhanced basic attack potential and does not know the optically readable MRZ data
printed on the MRTD data page in advance.
Threatened asset is the user anonymity.
T.Skimming Skimming the logical MRTD
An attacker imitates an inspection system trying to establish a communication to read the logical
MRTD or parts of it via the communication channels of the TOE.
The attacker does not know the optically readable MRZ data printed on the MRTD data page in
advance.
Threatened asset is the confidentiality of logical MRTD data.
T.Eavesdropping Eavesdropping to the communication between TOE and inspection system
An attacker is listening to an existing communication between the MRTD‘s chip and an inspection
system to gain the logical MRTD or parts of it. The inspection system uses the MRZ data printed on
the MRTD data page but the attacker does not know these data in advance.
The attacker has enhanced basic attack potential and does not know the optically readable MRZ data
printed on the MRTD data page in advance.
Threatened asset is the confidentiality of logical MRTD data.
T.Forgery Forgery of data on MRTD‟s chip
An attacker alters fraudulently the complete stored logical MRTD or any part of it including its security
related data in order to deceive on an inspection system by means of the changed MRTD holder‘s
identity or biometric reference data. This threat comprises several attack scenarios of MRTD forgery.
The attacker may alter the biographical data on the biographical data page of the passport book, in
the printed MRZ and in the digital MRZ to claim another identity of the traveler. The attacker may alter
the printed portrait and the digitized portrait to overcome the visual inspection of the inspection officer
and the automated biometric authentication mechanism by face recognition. The attacker may alter
the biometric reference data to defeat automated biometric authentication mechanism of the
inspection system. The attacker may combine data groups of different logical MRTDs to create a new
forged MRTD, e.g. the attacker writes the digitized portrait and optional biometric reference finger
data read from the logical MRTD of a traveler into another MRTD‘s chip leaving their digital MRZ
unchanged to claim the identity of the holder this MRTD. The attacker may also copy the complete
unchanged logical MRTD to another chip.
The attacker has enhanced basic attack potential and is in possession of one or more legitimate
MRTDs.
Threatened asset is authenticity of logical MRTD data.
T.Counterfeit Counterfeit MRTD‟s chip
An attacker with high attack potential produces an unauthorised copy or reproduction of a genuine
MRTD‘s chip to be used as part of a counterfeit MRTD. This violates the authenticity of the MRTD‘s
chip used for authentication of a traveler by possession of a MRTD. The attacker may generate a new
data set or extract completely or partially the data from a genuine MRTD‘s chip and copy them on
another appropriate chip to imitate this genuine MRTD‘s chip.
The attacker is in possession of one or more legitimate MRTDs.
Threatened asset is authenticity of logical MRTD data.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 23 of 68
The TOE shall avert the threats as specified below.
T.Abuse-Func Abuse of Functionality
An attacker may use functions of the TOE which shall not be used in ―Operational Use‖ phase in order (i)
to manipulate User Data, (ii) to manipulate (explore, bypass, deactivate or change) security features or
functions of the TOE or (iii) to disclose or to manipulate TSF Data. This threat addresses the misuse of
the functions for the initialization and the personalization in the operational state after delivery to MRTD
holder.
The attacker has enhanced basic attack potential and is in possession of a legitimate MRTD.
Threatened assets are confidentiality and authenticity of logical MRTD and TSF data, correctness of TSF.
T.Information_Leakage Information Leakage from MRTD‟s chip
An attacker may exploit information which is leaked from the TOE during its usage in order to disclose
confidential TSF data. The information leakage may be inherent in the normal operation or caused by the
attacker. Leakage may occur through emanations, variations in power consumption, I/O characteristics,
clock frequency, or by changes in processing time requirements. This leakage may be interpreted as a
covert channel transmission but is more closely related to measurement of operating parameters which
may be derived either from measurements of the communication interfaces (emanation) or direct
measurements (by contact to the chip still available even for a contactless chip) and can then be related
to the specific operation being performed. Examples are the Differential Electromagnetic Analysis (DEMA)
and the Differential Power Analysis (DPA). Moreover the attacker may try actively to enforce information
leakage by fault injection (e.g. Differential Fault Analysis).
The attacker has enhanced basic attack potential and is in possession of a legitimate MRTD.
Threatened asset is confidentiality of logical MRTD and TSF data.
T.Phys-Tamper Physical Tampering
An attacker may perform physical probing of the MRTD‘s chip in order (i) to disclose TSF Data, or (ii) to
disclose/reconstruct the MRTD‘s chip Embedded Software. An attacker may physically modify the
MRTD‘s chip in order to (i) modify security features or functions of the MRTD‘s chip, (ii) modify security
functions of the MRTD‘s chip Embedded Software, (iii) modify User Data or (iv) to modify TSF data. The
physical tampering may be focused directly on the disclosure or manipulation of TOE User Data (e.g. the
biometric reference data for the inspection system) or TSF Data (e.g. authentication key of the MRTD‘s
chip) or indirectly by preparation of the TOE to following attack methods by modification of security
features (e.g. to enable information leakage through power analysis). Physical tampering requires direct
interaction with the MRTD‘s chip internals. Techniques commonly employed in IC failure analysis and IC
reverse engineering efforts may be used. Before that, the hardware security mechanisms and layout
characteristics need to be identified. Determination of software design including treatment of User Data
and TSF Data may also be a pre-requisite. The modification may result in the deactivation of a security
function. Changes of circuitry or data can be permanent or temporary.
The attacker has enhanced basic attack potential and is in possession of a legitimate MRTD.
Threatened assets are confidentiality and authenticity of logical MRTD and TSF data, correctness of TSF.
T.Malfunction Malfunction due to Environmental Stress
An attacker may cause a malfunction of TSF or of the MRTD‘s chip Embedded Software by applying
environmental stress in order to (i) deactivate or modify security features or functions of the TOE or (ii)
circumvent, deactivate or modify security functions of the MRTD‘s chip Embedded Software. This may be
achieved e.g. by operating the MRTD‘s chip outside the normal operating conditions, exploiting errors in
the MRTD‘s chip Embedded Software or misusing administration function. To exploit these vulnerabilities
an attacker needs information about the functional operation.
The attacker has enhanced basic attack potential and is in possession of a legitimate MRTD.
Threatened assets are confidentiality and authenticity of logical MRTD and TSF data, correctness of TSF.
T.MOD_SOFT Unauthorized Software Modification
An attacker may perform unauthorized modification of Smart Card Embedded Software using the patch
mechanism or the Card Content Loading and Installation mechanism.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 24 of 68
3.6. Organisational Security Policies
The TOE shall comply with the following Organizational Security Policies (OSP) as security rules,
procedures, practices, or guidelines imposed by an organization upon its operations.
P.Manufact Manufacturing of the MRTD‟s chip
The Initialization Data are written by the IC Manufacturer to identify the IC uniquely. The MRTD
Manufacturer writes the Pre-personalization Data which contains at least the Personalization Agent
Key.
P.Personalization Personalization of the MRTD by issuing State or Organization only
The issuing State or Organization guarantees the correctness of the biographical data, the printed
portrait and the digitized portrait, the biometric reference data and other data of the logical MRTD with
respect to the MRTD holder. The personalization of the MRTD for the holder is performed by an
agent authorized by the issuing State or Organization only.
P.Personal_Data Personal data protection policy
The biographical data and their summary printed in the MRZ and stored on the MRTD‘s chip
(EF.DG1), the printed portrait and the digitized portrait (EF.DG2), the biometric reference data of
finger(s) (EF.DG3), the biometric reference data of iris image(s) (EF.DG4)3 and data according to
LDS (EF.DG5 to EF.DG13, EF.DG16) stored on the MRTD‘s chip are personal data of the MRTD
holder. These data groups are intended to be used only with agreement of the MRTD holder by
inspection systems to which the MRTD is presented. The MRTD‘s chip shall provide the possibility for
the Basic Access Control to allow read access to these data only for terminals successfully
authenticated based on knowledge of the Document Basic Access Keys as defined in [15].
Application note: The organizational security policy P.Personal_Data is drawn from the ICAO „ICAO Doc
9303‟ [15]. Note that the Document Basic Access Key is defined by the TOE environment and loaded to
the TOE by the Personalization Agent.

4. Security Objectives
This chapter describes the security objectives for the TOE and the security objectives for the TOE
environment. The security objectives for the TOE environment are separated into security objectives for
the development and production environment and security objectives for the operational environment.
4.1. SOs for the TOE
This section describes the security objectives for the TOE addressing the aspects of identified threats to
be countered by the TOE and organizational security policies to be met by the TOE.
OT.AC_Pers Access Control for Personalization of logical MRTD
The TOE must ensure that the logical MRTD data in EF.DG1 to EF.DG16, the Document security
object according to LDS [15] and the TSF data can be written by authorized Personalization Agents
only. The logical MRTD data in EF.DG1 to EF.DG16 and the TSF data may be written only during
and cannot be changed after its personalization. The Document security object can be updated by
authorized Personalization Agents if data in the data groups EF.DG3 to EF.DG16 are added.
Application note: The OT.AC_Pers implies that:
(3) the data of the LDS groups written during personalization for MRTD holder (at least EF.DG1 and
EF.DG2) cannot be changed by write access after personalization,
(4) the Personalization Agents may (i) add (fill) data into the LDS data groups not written yet, and (ii)
update and sign the Document Security Object accordingly. The support for adding data in the
“Operational Use” phase is optional.
OT.Data_Int Integrity of personal data
The TOE must ensure the integrity of the logical MRTD stored on the MRTD‘s chip against physical
manipulation and unauthorized writing. The TOE must ensure the integrity of the logical MRTD data
during their transmission to the General Inspection System after Chip Authentication.
OT.Data_Conf Confidentiality of personal data
The TOE must ensure the confidentiality of the logical MRTD data groups EF.DG1 to EF.DG16. Read
access to EF.DG1 to EF.DG16 is granted to terminals successfully authenticated as Personalization
Agent. Read access to EF.DG1, EF.DG2 and EF.DG5 to EF.DG16 is granted to terminals
successfully authenticated as Basic Inspection System. The Basic Inspection System shall
authenticate itself by means of the Basic Access Control based on knowledge of the Document Basic
Access Key. The TOE must ensure the confidentiality of the logical MRTD data during their
transmission to the Basic Inspection System.
Application note: The traveler grants the authorization for reading the personal data in EF.DG1, EF.DG2
and EF.DG5 to EF.DG16 to the inspection system by presenting the MRTD. The MRTD‟s chip shall
provide read access to these data for terminals successfully authenticated by means of the Basic Access
Control based on knowledge of the Document Basic Access Keys.The security objective OT.Data_Conf
requires the TOE to ensure the strength of the security function Basic Access Control Authentication. The
Document Basic Access Keys are derived from the MRZ data defined by the TOE environment and are
loaded into the TOE by the Personalization Agent. Therefore the sufficient quality of these keys has to
result from the MRZ data‟s entropy. Any attack based on decision of the „ICAO Doc 9303‟ [15] that the
inspection system derives Document Basic Access is ensured by OE.BAC-Keys. Note that the
authorization for reading the biometric data in EF.DG3 and EF.DG4 is only granted after successful
Enhanced Access Control not covered by this TOE. Thus the read access must be prevented even in
case of a successful BAC Authentication.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 26 of 68
OT.Identification Identification and Authentication of the TOE
The TOE must provide means to store IC Identification and Pre-Personalization Data in its nonvolatile
memory. The IC Identification Data must provide a unique identification of the IC during Phase 2
―Manufacturing‖ and Phase 3 ―Personalization of the MRTD‖. The storage of the Pre- Personalization
data includes writing of the Personalization Agent Key(s). In Phase 4 ―Operational Use‖ the TOE shall
identify itself only to a successful authenticated Basic Inspection System or Personalization Agent.
Application note: The TOE security objective OT.Identification addresses security features of the TOE to
support the lifecycle security in the manufacturing and personalization phases. The IC Identification Data
are used for TOE identification in Phase 2 “Manufacturing” and for traceability and/or to secure shipment
of the TOE from Phase 2 “Manufacturing” into the Phase 3 “Personalization of the MRTD”. The
OT.Identification addresses security features of the TOE to be used by the TOE manufacturing. In the
Phase 4 “Operational Use” the TOE is identified by the Document Number as part of the printed and
digital MRZ. The OT.Identification forbids the output of any other IC (e.g. integrated circuit card serial
number ICCSN) or MRTD identifier through the physical interfaces before successful authentication as
Basic Inspection System or as Personalization Agent.
OT.AA_Proof Proof of MRTD‟s chip authenticity by Active Authentication
The TOE may support the Basic Inspection Systems to verify the identity and authenticity of the
MRTD‘s chip as issued by the identified issuing State or Organization by means of the Active
Authentication as defined in [15].
The following TOE security objectives address the protection provided by the MRTD‘s chip independent
of the TOE environment.
OT.Prot_Abuse-Func Protection against Abuse of Functionality
After delivery of the TOE to the MRTD Holder, the TOE must prevent the abuse of test and support
functions that may be maliciously used to (i) disclose critical User Data, (ii) manipulate critical User
Data of the IC Embedded Software, (iii) manipulate Soft-coded IC Embedded Software or (iv) bypass,
deactivate, change or explore security features or functions of the TOE.
Details of the relevant attack scenarios depend, for instance, on the capabilities of the Test Features
provided by the IC Dedicated Test Software which are not specified here.
OT.Prot_Inf_Leak Protection against Information Leakage
The TOE must provide protection against disclosure of confidential TSF data stored and/or processed
in the MRTD‘s chip
 by measurement and analysis of the shape and amplitude of signals or the time between events
found by measuring signals on the electromagnetic field, power consumption, clock, or I/O lines
and
 by forcing a malfunction of the TOE and/or
 by a physical manipulation of the TOE.
Application note: This objective pertains to measurements with subsequent complex signal processing
due to normal operation of the TOE or operations enforced by an attacker. Details correspond to an
analysis of attack scenarios which is not given here.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 27 of 68
OT.Prot_Phys-Tamper Protection against Physical Tampering
The TOE must provide protection of the confidentiality and integrity of the User Data, the TSF Data,
and the MRTD‘s chip Embedded Software. This includes protection against attacks with high attack
potential by means of
 measuring through galvanic contacts which is direct physical probing on the chips surface except
on pads being bonded (using standard tools for measuring voltage and current) or
 measuring not using galvanic contacts but other types of physical interaction between charges
(using tools used in solid-state physics research and IC failure analysis)
 manipulation of the hardware and its security features, as well as
 controlled manipulation of memory contents (User Data, TSF Data)
with a prior
 reverse-engineering to understand the design and its properties and functions.
OT.Prot_Malfunction Protection against Malfunctions
The TOE must ensure its correct operation. The TOE must prevent its operation outside the normal
operating conditions where reliability and secure operation has not been proven or tested.
This is to prevent errors. The environmental conditions may include external energy (esp.
electromagnetic) fields, voltage (on any contacts), clock frequency, or temperature.
Application note: A malfunction of the TOE may also be caused using a direct interaction with elements
on the chip surface. This is considered as being a manipulation (refer to the objective OT.Prot_Phys-
Tamper) provided that detailed knowledge about the TOE´s internals.
OT.CCLI_END Secure termination of Card Content Loading and Installation
The TOE shall ensure that a mechanism to close the TOE in post issuance is available to the
Manufacturer. Terminating Card Content Loading and Installation feature implies that it is not possible
for an attacker to load any applet in the card using the GlobalPlatform Card Content Management
interfaces.
OT.PATCH_SEC Secure Patch Mechanism
The TOE must ensure continued correct operation of the patch mechanism. The TOE shall prevent
the alteration of its patch mechanism: mis-routing and load of illegal patches.
OT.PATCH_END Secure termination of Patching
The TOE shall ensure that a mechanism to close the TOE patching mechanism is available to the
Manufacturer. Terminating patching feature implies that it is not possible for an attacker to load any
patch in the card.

4.2. SOs for the Environment
4.2.1. Issuing State or Organization
The issuing State or Organization will implement the following security objectives of the TOE
environment.
OE.MRTD_Manufact Protection of the MRTD Manufacturing
Appropriate functionality testing of the TOE shall be used in step 4 to 6.
During all manufacturing and test operations, security procedures shall be used through phases 4, 5
and 6 to maintain confidentiality and integrity of the TOE and its manufacturing and test data.
OE.MRTD_Delivery Protection of the MRTD delivery
Procedures shall ensure protection of TOE material/information under delivery including the following
objectives:
- non-disclosure of any security relevant information,
- identification of the element under delivery,
- meet confidentiality rules (confidentiality level, transmittal form, reception
acknowledgment),
- physical protection to prevent external damage,
- secure storage and handling procedures (including rejected TOE‘s),
- traceability of TOE during delivery including the following parameters:
• origin and shipment details,
• reception, reception acknowledgement,
• location material/information.
Procedures shall ensure that corrective actions are taken in case of improper operation in the delivery
process (including if applicable any non-conformance to the confidentiality convention) and highlight
all non-conformance to this process.
Procedures shall ensure that people (shipping department, carrier, reception department) dealing with
the procedure for delivery have got the required skill, training and knowledge to meet the procedure
requirements and be able to act fully in accordance with the above expectations.
OE.Personalization Personalization of logical MRTD
The issuing State or Organization must ensure that the Personalization Agents acting on behalf of the
issuing State or Organization (i) establish the correct identity of the holder and create biographical
data for the MRTD, (ii) enroll the biometric reference data of the MRTD holder i.e. the portrait, the
encoded finger image(s) and/or the encoded iris image(s) and (iii) personalize the MRTD for the
holder together with the defined physical and logical security measures to protect the confidentiality
and integrity of these data.
OE.Pass_Auth_Sign Authentication of logical MRTD by Signature
The issuing State or Organization must (i) generate a cryptographic secure Country Signing CA Key
Pair, (ii) ensure the secrecy of the Country Signing CA Private Key and sign Document Signer
Certificates in a secure operational environment, and (iii) distribute the Certificate of the Country
Signing CA Public Key to receiving States and Organizations maintaining its authenticity and integrity.
The issuing State or Organization must (i) generate a cryptographic secure Document Signer Key
Pair and ensure the secrecy of the Document Signer Private Keys, (ii) sign Document Security
Objects of genuine MRTD in a secure operational environment only and (iii) distribute the Certificate

V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 29 of 68
OE.BAC-Keys Cryptographic quality of Basic Access Control Keys
The Document Basic Access Control Keys being generated and imported by the issuing State or
Organization have to provide sufficient cryptographic strength. As a consequence of the ‗ICAO Doc
9303‘ [15] the Document Basic Access Control Keys are derived from a defined subset of the
individual printed MRZ data. It has to be ensured that these data provide sufficient entropy to
withstand any attack based on the decision that the inspection system has to derive Document Basic
Access Keys from the printed MRZ data with enhanced basic attack potential.
OE.Active_Auth_Key Active Authentication Key
The issuing State or Organization may establish the necessary public key infrastructure in order to:
- Generate the MRTD‘s Active Authentication Key Pair,
- Sign and store the Active Authentication Public Key in the Active Authentication Public
Key data in EF.DG15 and
- Support inspection systems of receiving States or Organizations to verify the authenticity
of the MRTD‘s chip used for genuine MRTD by certification of the Active Authentication
Public Key by means of the Document Security Object
4.2.2. Receiving State or Organization
The receiving State or Organization will implement the following security objectives of the TOE
environment.
OE.Exam_MRTD Examination of the MRTD passport book
The inspection system of the receiving State or Organization must examine the MRTD presented by
the traveler to verify its authenticity by means of the physical security measures and to detect any
manipulation of the physical MRTD. The Basic Inspection System for global interoperability (i)
includes the Country Signing Public Key and the Document Signer Public Key of each issuing State
or Organization, and (ii) implements the terminal part of the Basic Access Control [15].
OE.Exam_MRTD_AA Examination of the MRTD passport book using Active Authentication
During examination of the MRTD presented by the traveler, the basic inspection system may follow
the Active Authentication Protocol to verify the authenticity of the presented MRTD‘s chip.
OE.Passive_Auth_Verif Verification by Passive Authentication
The border control officer of the receiving State uses the inspection system to verify the traveler as
MRTD holder. The inspection systems must have successfully verified the signature of Document
Security Objects and the integrity data elements of the logical MRTD before they are used. The
receiving States and Organizations must manage the Country Signing Public Key and the Document
Signer Public Key maintaining their authenticity and availability in all inspection systems.
OE.Prot_Logical_MRTD Protection of data from the logical MRTD
The inspection system of the receiving State or Organization ensures the confidentiality and integrity
of the data read from the logical MRTD. The receiving State examining the logical MRTD being under
Basic Access Control will use inspection systems which implement the terminal part of the Basic
Access Control and use the secure messaging with fresh generated keys for the protection of the
transmitted data (i.e. Basic Inspection Systems).

4.3.2. Security Objectives Sufficiency
4.3.2.1. Policies and Security Objective Sufficiency
The OSP P.Manufact “Manufacturing of the MRTD’s chip” requires a unique identification of the IC by
means of the Initialization Data and the writing of the Pre-personalization Data as being fulfilled by
OT.Identification.
The OSP P.Personalization “Personalization of the MRTD by issuing State or Organization only”
addresses the (i) the enrolment of the logical MRTD by the Personalization Agent as described in the
security objective for the TOE environment OE.Personalization ―Personalization of logical MRTD‖, and (ii)
the access control for the user data and TSF data as described by the security objective OT.AC_Pers
―Access Control for Personalization of logical MRTD‖. Note the manufacturer equips the TOE with the
Personalization Agent Key(s) according to OT.Identification ―Identification and Authentication of the TOE‖.
The security objective OT.AC_Pers limits the management of TSF data and management of TSF to the
Personalization Agent.
The OSP P.Personal_Data “Personal data protection policy” requires the TOE (i) to support the
protection of the confidentiality of the logical MRTD by means of the Basic Access Control and (ii) enforce
the access control for reading as decided by the issuing State or Organization. This policy is implemented
by the security objectives OT.Data_Int ―Integrity of personal data‖ describing the unconditional protection
of the integrity of the stored data and during transmission. The security objective OT.Data_Conf
―Confidentiality of personal data‖ describes the protection of the confidentiality.
4.3.2.2. Threats and Security Objective Sufficiency
The threat T.Chip_ID “Identification of MRTD’s chip” addresses the trace of the MRTD movement by
identifying remotely the MRTD‘s chip through the physical communication interface. This threat is
countered as described by the security objective OT.Identification by Basic Access Control using
sufficiently strong derived keys as required by the security objective for the environment OE.BAC-Keys.
The threat T.Skimming “Skimming digital MRZ data or the digital portrait” and T.Eavesdropping
“Eavesdropping to the communication between TOE and inspection system” address the reading of
the logical MRTD trough the physical communication interface or listening the communication between
the MRTD‘s chip and a terminal. This threat is countered by the security objective OT.Data_Conf
―Confidentiality of personal data‖ through Basic Access Control using sufficiently strong derived keys as
required by the security objective for the environment OE.BAC-Keys.
The threat T.Forgery “Forgery of data on MRTD’s chip” addresses the fraudulent alteration of the
complete stored logical MRTD or any part of it. The security objective OT.AC_Pers ―Access Control for
Personalization of logical MRTD― requires the TOE to limit the write access for the logical MRTD to the
trustworthy Personalization Agent (cf. OE.Personalization). The TOE will protect the integrity of the stored
logical MRTD according the security objective OT.Data_Int ―Integrity of personal data‖ and OT.Prot_Phys-
Tamper ―Protection against Physical Tampering‖. The examination of the presented MRTD passport book
according to OE.Exam_MRTD ―Examination of the MRTD passport book‖ shall ensure that passport book
does not contain a sensitive chip which may present the complete unchanged logical MRTD. The TOE
environment will detect partly forged logical MRTD data by means of digital signature which will be
created according to OE.Pass_Auth_Sign ―Authentication of logical MRTD by Signature‖ and verified by
the inspection system according to OE.Passive_Auth_Verif ―Verification by Passive Authentication‖.
The threat T.Abuse-Func “Abuse of Functionality” addresses attacks using the MRTD‘s chip as
production material for the MRTD and misuse of the functions for personalization in the operational state
after delivery to MRTD holder to disclose or to manipulate the logical MRTD. This threat is countered by
OT.Prot_Abuse-Func ―Protection against Abuse of Functionality‖. Additionally this objective is supported
by the security objective for the TOE environment: OE.Personalization ―Personalization of logical MRTD‖
ensuring that the TOE security functions for the initialization and the personalization are disabled and the
security functions for the operational state after delivery to MRTD holder are enabled according to the
intended use of the TOE.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 32 of 68
The threats T.Information_Leakage “Information Leakage from MRTD’s chip”, T.Phys-Tamper
“Physical Tampering” and T.Malfunction “Malfunction due to Environmental Stress” are typical for
integrated circuits like smart cards under direct attack with high attack potential. The protection of the
TOE against these threats is addressed by the directly related security objectives OT.Prot_Inf_Leak
―Protection against Information Leakage‖, OT.Prot_Phys-Tamper ―Protection against Physical Tampering‖
and OT.Prot_Malfunction ―Protection against Malfunctions‖.
The threat T.MOD_SOFT “Unauthorized Software Modification” deals with the alteration of loaded and
installed software or more generally Applicative Card Content. This threat is in general addressed by
OT.CCLI_END, OT.PATCH_SEC, and OT.PATCH_END. OT.CCLI_END guarantees that the Card Content
Loading and Installing mechanism is no longer available once it is terminated. OT.PATCH_SEC
guarantees that once terminated (in the User Phase), the patch mechanism cannot be corrupted (by
loading illegal patches or altering existing patches). OT.PATCH_END guarantees that the patch loading is
no longer available once it is terminated.
The threat T.Counterfeit “MRTD’s chip” addresses the attack of unauthorised copy or reproduction of
the genuine MRTD chip. This attack is thwarted by a set of objectives that ensure that MRTD‘s chip data
are not copied from the TOE: OT.Prot_Abuse-Func, OT.Prot_Inf_Leak, OT.Prot_Phys-Tamper, and
OT.Prot_Malfunction. In addition, when the MRTD supports Active Authentication, the TOE addresses
additional protections against this threat: OT.AA_Proof ―Proof of MRTD‘s chip authenticity by Active
Authentication‖, OE.Exam_MRTD_AA ―Examination of the MRTD passport book using Active
Authentication‖ and OE.Active_Auth_Key ―Active Authentication Key‖ all participate in the detection of
counterfeit MRTD‘s chip by the inspection system.
These objectives ensure that no data may be copied from the TOE.
4.3.2.3. Assumptions and Security Objective Sufficiency
The assumption A.MRTD_Manufact “MRTD manufacturing on step 4 to 6” is covered by the security
objective for the TOE environment OE.MRTD_Manufact ―Protection of the MRTD Manufacturing‖ that
requires to use security procedures during all manufacturing steps.
The assumption A.MRTD_Delivery “MRTD delivery during step 4 to 6” is covered by the security
objective for the TOE environment OE.MRTD_ Delivery ―Protection of the MRTD delivery‖ that requires to
use security procedures during delivery steps of the MRTD.
The assumption A.Pers_Agent “Personalization of the MRTD’s chip” is covered by the security
objective for the TOE environment OE.Personalization ―Personalization of logical MRTD‖ including the
enrolment, the protection with digital signature and the storage of the MRTD holder personal data.
The assumption A.Pers_Agent_AA “Personalization of the MRTD’s chip including Active
Authentication” is covered by the security objective for the TOE environment OE.Personalization
―Personalization of logical MRTD‖ including the protection with a digital signature (SOD signing), the
storage of the MRTD holder personal data and the support of Active Authentication Protocol according to
the decision of the issuing State or Organization.
The examination of the MRTD passport book addressed by the assumption A.Insp_Sys “Inspection
Systems for global interoperability” is covered by the security objectives for the TOE environment
OE.Exam_MRTD ―Examination of the MRTD passport book‖. The security objectives for the TOE
environment OE.Prot_Logical_MRTD ―Protection of data from the logical MRTD‖ will require the Basic
Inspection System to implement the Basic Access Control and to protect the logical MRTD data during
the transmission and the internal handling.
The examination of the MRTD passport book addressed by the assumption A.Insp_Sys_AA “Inspection
Systems for global interoperability with Active Authentication” is covered by the security objectives
for the TOE environment OE.Exam_MRTD_AA ―Examination of the MRTD passport book using Active
Authentication‖ which requires the Basic Inspection System to implement and to enforce Active
Authentication of the MRTD as part of the MRTD‘s inspection.
The assumption A.BAC-Keys “Cryptographic quality of Basic Access Control Keys” is directly
covered by the security objective for the TOE environment OE.BAC-Keys ―Cryptographic quality of Basic
Access Control Keys‖ ensuring the sufficient key quality to be provided by the issuing State or
Organization.

5. Extended Components Definition
This ST contains the following extended component defined as extensions to CC part 2 in the claimed PP
[5]:
 SFR FAU_SAS ‗Audit data storage‘

5.1. Audit data storage (FAU_SAS)
To define the security functional requirements of the TOE, a sensitive family (FAU_SAS) of the Class
FAU (Security Audit) is defined here. This family describes the functional requirements for the storage of
audit data. It has a more general approach than FAU_GEN, because it does not necessarily require the
data to be generated by the TOE itself and because it does not give specific details of the content of the
audit records.
The family ―Audit data storage (FAU_SAS)‖ is specified as follows.
FAU_SAS Audit data storage
Family behavior
This family defines functional requirements for the storage of audit data.
Component leveling:
FAU_SAS.1 Requires the TOE to provide the possibility to store audit data.
Management: FAU_SAS.1
There are no management activities foreseen.
Audit: FAU_SAS.1
There are no actions defined to be auditable.

5.2. Generation of random numbers (FCS_RND)
To define the IT security functional requirements of the TOE, a sensitive family (FCS_RND) of the Class
FCS (cryptographic support) is defined here. This family describes the functional requirements for random
number generation used for cryptographic purposes. The component FCS_RND is not limited to
generation of cryptographic keys unlike the component FCS_CKM.1. The similar component FIA_SOS.2
is intended for non-cryptographic use.
The family ―Generation of random numbers (FCS_RND)‖ is specified as follows.
FCS_RND Generation of random numbers
Family behavior
This family defines quality requirements for the generation of random numbers which are intended to
be used for cryptographic purposes.
Component leveling:
FCS_RND.1 Generation of random numbers requires that random numbers meet a defined quality
metric.
Management: FCS_RND.1
There are no management activities foreseen.
Audit: FCS_RND.1
There are no actions defined to be auditable.

V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 35 of 68
5.3. Authentication Proof of Identity (FIA_API)
To describe the IT security functional requirements of the TOE a sensitive family (FIA_API) of the Class
FIA (Identification and authentication) is defined here. This family describes the functional requirements
for the proof of the claimed identity for the authentication verification by an external entity where the other
families of the class FIA address the verification of the identity of an external entity.
Application note: The other families of the Class FIA describe only the authentication verification of
users‟ identity performed by the TOE and do not describe the functionality of the user to prove their
identity. The following paragraph defines the family FIA_API in the style of the Common Criteria part 2 (cf.
[3], chapter “Explicitly stated IT security requirements (APE_SRE)”) from a TOE point of view.
FIA_API Authentication Proof of Identity
Family behavior
This family defines functions provided by the TOE to prove their identity and to be verified by an
external entity in the TOE IT environment.
Component leveling:
FIA_API.1 Authentication Proof of Identity.
Management: FIA_API.1
The following actions could be considered for the management functions in FMT:
Management of authentication information used to prove the claimed identity.
Audit: FIA_API.1
There are no actions defined to be auditable.
FIA_API.1 Authentication Proof of Identity
Hierarchical to: No other components.
Dependencies: No dependencies.
FIA_API.1.1 The TSF shall provide a [assignment: authentication mechanism] to prove
the identity of the [assignment: authorized user or role].

5.4. Limited capabilities and availability (FMT_LIM)
The family FMT_LIM describes the functional requirements for the Test Features of the TOE.
The new functional requirements were defined in the class FMT because this class addresses the
management of functions of the TSF. The examples of the technical mechanism used in the TOE show
that no other class is appropriate to address the specific issues of preventing the abuse of functions by
limiting the capabilities of the functions and by limiting their availability.
The family ―Limited capabilities and availability (FMT_LIM)‖ is specified as follows.
FMT_LIM Limited capabilities and availability
Family behavior
This family defines requirements that limit the capabilities and availability of functions in a
combined manner. Note, that FDP_ACF restricts the access to functions whereas the Limited
capability of this family requires the functions themselves to be designed in a specific manner.
Component leveling:
FMT_LIM.1 Limited capabilities requires that the TSF is built to provide only the capabilities
(perform action, gather information) necessary for its genuine purpose.
FMT_LIM.2 Limited availability requires that the TSF restrict the use of functions (refer to
Limited capabilities (FMT_LIM.1)). This can be achieved, for instance, by removing
or by disabling functions in a specific phase of the TOE’s lifecycle.
Management: FMT_LIM.1, FMT_LIM.2
There are no management activities foreseen.
Audit: FMT_LIM.1, FMT_LIM.2
There are no actions defined to be auditable.
To define the IT security functional requirements of the TOE a sensitive family (FMT_LIM) of the Class
FMT (Security Management) is defined here. This family describes the functional requirements for the
Test Features of the TOE. The new functional requirements were defined in the class FMT because this
class addresses the management of functions of the TSF. The examples of the technical mechanism
used in the TOE show that no other class is appropriate to address the specific issues of preventing the
abuse of functions by limiting the capabilities of the functions and by limiting their availability.
The TOE Functional Requirement ―Limited capabilities (FMT_LIM.1)‖ is specified as follows.
FMT_LIM.1 Limited capabilities
Hierarchical to: No other components.
Dependencies: FMT_LIM.2 Limited availability.

FMT_LIM.1.1 The TSF shall be designed in a manner that limits their capabilities so that in
conjunction with “Limited availability (FMT_LIM.2)” the following policy is
enforced [assignment: Limited capability and availability policy].
The TOE Functional Requirement ―Limited availability (FMT_LIM.2)‖ is specified as follows.
FMT_LIM.2 Limited availability
Hierarchical to: No other components.
Dependencies: FMT_LIM.1 Limited capabilities.
FMT_LIM.2.1 The TSF shall be designed in a manner that limits their availability so that in
conjunction with “Limited capabilities (FMT_LIM.1)” the following policy is
enforced [assignment: Limited capability and availability policy].
Application note: The functional requirements FMT_LIM.1 and FMT_LIM.2 assume that there are
two types of mechanisms (limited capabilities and limited availability) which together shall provide
protection in order to enforce the policy. This also allows that:
(i) the TSF is provided without restrictions in the product in its user environment but its
capabilities are so limited that the policy is enforced
or conversely
(ii) the TSF is designed with test and support functionality that is removed from, or disabled in,
the product prior to the Operational Use Phase.
The combination of both requirements shall enforce the policy.

5.5. TOE emanation (FPT_EMSEC.1)
The sensitive family FPT_EMSEC (TOE Emanation) of the Class FPT (Protection of the TSF) is defined
here to describe the IT security functional requirements of the TOE. The TOE shall prevent attacks
against the TOE and other secret data where the attack is based on external observable physical
phenomena of the TOE. Examples of such attacks are evaluation of TOE‘s electromagnetic radiation,
simple power analysis (SPA), differential power analysis (DPA), timing attacks, etc. This family describes
the functional requirements for the limitation of intelligible emanations which are not directly addressed by
any other component of CC part 2 [2].
The family ―TOE Emanation (FPT_EMSEC)‖ is specified as follows.
Family behavior
This family defines requirements to mitigate intelligible emanations.
Component leveling:
FPT_EMSEC.1 TOE Emanation has two constituents:
FPT_EMSEC.1.1 Limit of Emissions requires to not emit intelligible emissions enabling access
to TSF data or user data.
FPT_EMSEC.1.2 Interface Emanation requires not to emit interface emanation enabling access
to TSF data or user data.
Management: FPT_EMSEC.1
There are no management activities foreseen.
Audit: FPT_EMSEC.1
There are no actions defined to be auditable.
FPT_EMSEC.1 TOE Emanation
Hierarchical to: No other components.
Dependencies: No dependencies.
FPT_EMSEC.1.1 The TOE shall not emit [assignment: types of emissions] in excess of
[assignment: specified limits] enabling access to [assignment: list of types of
TSF data] and [assignment: list of types of user data].
FPT_EMSEC.1.2 The TSF shall ensure [assignment: type of users] are unable to use the
following interface [assignment: type of connection] to gain access to
[assignment: list of types of TSF data] and [assignment: list of types of user
data].

accordance with a specified cryptographic algorithm Retail MAC and
cryptographic key sizes 112 bits that meet the following: ‗ISO 9797 (MAC
algorithm 3, block cipher DES, Sequence Message Counter, padding mode 2).
Application note: This SFR requires the TOE to implement the cryptographic primitive for
secure messaging with encryption and message authentication code over the transmitted data.
The key is agreed between the TSF by the Basic Access Control Authentication Mechanism
according to the FCS_CKM.1 and FIA_UAU.4.
 Signature generation

uses ISO/IEC 9796-2 compliant cryptography (scheme 1).
6.1.2.4. Random Number Generation (FCS_RND.1)
FCS_RND.1.1 The TSF shall provide a mechanism to generate random numbers that meet
AIS31 class “P2 – SOF-High”.

6.1.3. User data protection (FDP)
6.1.3.1. Subset access control (FDP_ACC.1)
FDP_ACC.1.1 The TSF shall enforce the Basic Access Control SFP on terminals gaining
write, read and modification access to data in the EF.COM, EF.SOD, EF.DG1
to EF.DG16 of the logical MRTD.
6.1.3.2. Security attribute based access control (FDP_ACF.1)
FDP_ACF.1.1 The TSF shall enforce the Basic Access Control SFP to objects based on the
following:
1. Subjects:
a. Personalization Agent,
b. Basic Inspection System
c. Terminal,
2. Objects:
a. data EF.DG1 to EF.DG16 of the logical MRTD,
b. data in EF.COM,
c. data in EF.SOD,
3. Security attributes:
a. authentication status of terminals.
FDP_ACF.1.2 The TSF shall enforce the following rules to determine if an operation among
controlled subjects and controlled objects is allowed:
1. the successfully authenticated Personalization Agent is allowed to write
and to read the data of the EF.COM, EF.SOD, EF.DG1 to EF.DG16 of the
logical MRTD,
2. the successfully authenticated Basic Inspection System is allowed to read
the data in EF.COM, EF.SOD, EF.DG1, EF.DG2 and EF.DG5 to EF.DG16
of the logical MRTD.
FDP_ACF.1.3 The TSF shall explicitly authorise access of subjects to objects based on the
following additional rules: none.
FDP_ACF.1.4 The TSF shall explicitly deny access of subjects to objects based on the rule:
1. Any terminal is not allowed to modify any of the EF.DG1 to EF.DG16 of the
logical MRTD.
2. Any terminal is not allowed to read any of the EF.DG1 to EF.DG16 of the
logical MRTD.
3. The Basic Inspection System is not allowed to read the data in EF.DG3
and EF.DG4.
Application note: The inspection system needs special authentication and authorization for read
access to DG3 and DG4 not defined in this TOE (cf. [17] for details).
6.1.3.3. Basic data exchange confidentiality (FDP_UCT.1)
Application note: FDP_UCT.1 and FDP_UIT.1 require the protection of the User Data transmitted from
the TOE to the terminal by secure messaging with encryption and message authentication codes after
successful authentication of the terminal. The authentication mechanisms as part of Basic Access Control
Mechanism include the key agreement for the encryption and the message authentication key to be used
for secure messaging.
FDP_UCT.1.1 The TSF shall enforce the Basic Access Control SFP to be able to transmit
and receive user data in a manner protected from unauthorised disclosure.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 43 of 68
6.1.3.4. Data exchange integrity (FDP_UIT.1)
Application note: See application in FDP_UCT.1.
FDP_UIT.1.1 The TSF shall enforce the Basic Access Control SFP to be able to transmit
and receive user data in a manner protected from modification, deletion,
insertion and replay errors.
FDP_UIT.1.2 The TSF shall be able to determine on receipt of user data, whether
modification, deletion, insertion and replay has occurred.
6.1.4. Identification and authentication (FIA)
The following table provides an overview on the authentication mechanisms used:
Name SFR for the TOE Cryptography
Basic Access Control
Authentication Mechanism
FIA_UAU.4, FIA_UAU.6 TDES, 112 bit keys (cf.
FCS_COP.1/ENC) and Retail-MAC, 112
bit keys (cf. FCS_COP.1/MAC)
Symmetric Authentication

Personalization Agent
FIA_UAU.4 TDES with 112 bit keys (cf.
FCS_COP.1/AUTH)
Active Authentication FIA_API.1, FIA_UAU.4 RSA signature based on ISO9796-2
scheme 1, with Keys 1024, 1536, 2048,
3072 bits (cf. FCS_COP.1.1/ SIG_GEN)
6.1.4.1. Authentication Failure handling (FIA_AFL.1)
FIA_AFL.1.1 The TSF shall detect when an administrator configurable positive integer
within [0..255] of unsuccessful authentication attempts occur related to failure
of a BAC Authentication.
FIA_AFL.1.2 When the defined number of unsuccessful authentication attempts has been
met, the TSF shall block the BAC cryptographic key.
Application note: The terminal challenge eIFD and the TSF response eICC are described in [16],
Appendix C. The refinement by inclusion of the word “consecutive” allows the TSF to return to
normal operation of the BAC authentication protocol (without time out) after successful run of the
BAC authentication protocol. The unsuccessful authentication attempt shall be stored non-volatile
in the TOE thus the “consecutive unsuccessful authentication attempts” are count independent on
power-on sessions but reset to zero after successful authentication only.
6.1.4.2. Authentication Proof of Identity (FIA_API.1)
FIA_API.1.1 The TSF shall provide an Active Authentication Protocol according to [15] to
prove the identity of the TOE.
Application note: The TOE may implement the Active Authentication Mechanism specified in [15]
Part 1 Appendix 4 to section IV. This mechanism is a challenge response protocol where TOE
challenge response is calculated being digital signature over the terminal‟s 8 bytes nonce.
6.1.4.3. Timing of authentication (FIA_UAU.1)
FIA_UAU.1.1 The TSF shall allow
1. to read the Initialization Data in Phase 2 ―Manufacturing‖,
2. to read the random identifier in Phase 3 ―Personalization of the MRTD‖,
3. to read the random identifier in Phase 4 ―Operational Use‖
on behalf of the user to be performed before the user is authenticated.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 44 of 68
FIA_UAU.1.2 The TSF shall require each user to be successfully authenticated before
allowing any other TSF-mediated actions on behalf of that user.
Application note: The Basic Inspection System and the Personalization Agent authenticate
themselves.
6.1.4.4. Single-use authentication mechanisms (FIA_UAU.4)
FIA_UAU.4.1 The TSF shall prevent reuse of authentication data related to
1. Basic Access Control Authentication Mechanism,
2. Authentication Mechanism based on TDES,
3. Active Authentication Protocol.
Application note: The authentication mechanisms may use either a challenge freshly and
randomly generated by the TOE to prevent reuse of a response generated by a terminal in a
successful authentication attempt. However, the authentication of Personalisation Agent may rely
on other mechanisms ensuring protection against replay attacks, such as the use of an internal
counter as a diversifier.
Application note: The Basic Access Control Mechanism is a mutual device authentication
mechanism defined in [16]. In the first step the terminal authenticates itself to the MRTD‟s chip and
the MRTD‟s chip authenticates to the terminal in the second step. In this second step the MRTD‟s
chip provides the terminal with a challenge-response-pair which allows a unique identification of
the MRTD‟s chip with some probability depending on the entropy of the Document Basic Access
Keys. Therefore the TOE shall stop further communications if the terminal is not successfully
authenticated in the first step of the protocol to fulfil the security objective OT.Identification and to
prevent T.Chip_ID.
6.1.4.5. Multiple authentication mechanisms (FIA_UAU.5)
FIA_UAU.5.1 The TSF shall provide
1. Basic Access Control Authentication Mechanism,
2. Symmetric Authentication Mechanism based on TDES
to support user authentication.
FIA_UAU.5.2 The TSF shall authenticate any user‘s claimed identity according to the
following rules:
1. The TOE accepts the authentication attempt as Personalization Agent
by the Symmetric Authentication Mechanism with Personalization
Agent Key.
2. the TOE accepts the authentication attempt as Basic Inspection
System only by means of the Basic Access Control Authentication
Mechanism with the Document Basic Access Keys
Application note: The Basic Access Control Mechanism includes the secure messaging for all
commands exchanged after successful authentication of the inspection system. The
Personalization Agent may use Symmetric Authentication Mechanism without secure messaging
mechanism as well if the personalization environment prevents eavesdropping to the
communication between TOE and personalization terminal. The Basic Inspection System may use
the Basic Access Control Authentication Mechanism with the Document Basic Access Keys
6.1.4.6. Re-authenticating (FIA_UAU.6)
FIA_UAU.6.1 The TSF shall re-authenticate the user under the conditions each command
sent to the TOE during a BAC mechanism based communication after
successful authentication of the terminal with Basic Access Control
Authentication Mechanism.
Application note: The Basic Access Control Mechanism specified in [15] includes the secure
messaging for all commands exchanged after successful authentication of the Inspection System.
The TOE checks by secure messaging in MAC_ENC mode each command based on Retail-MAC
whether it was sent by the successfully authenticated terminal (see FCS_COP.1/MAC for further
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 45 of 68
details). The TOE does not execute any command with incorrect message authentication code.
Therefore the TOE re-authenticates the user for each received command and accepts only those
commands received from the previously authenticated BAC user.
Application note: Note that in case the TOE should also fulfil [5] the BAC communication
might be followed by a Chip Authentication mechanism establishing a new secure messaging that
is distinct from the BAC based communication. In this case the condition in FIA_UAU.6 above
should not contradict to the option that commands are sent to the TOE that are no longer meeting
the BAC communication but are protected by a more secure communication channel established
after a more advanced authentication process.
6.1.4.7. Timing of identification (FIA_UID.1)
FIA_UID.1.1 The TSF shall allow
1. to read the Initialization Data in Phase 2 ―Manufacturing‖,
2. to read the random identifier in Phase 3 ―Personalization of the MRTD‖,
3. to read the random identifier in Phase 4 ―Operational Use‖
on behalf of the user to be performed before the user is identified.
FIA_UID.1.2 The TSF shall require each user to be successfully identified before allowing
any other TSF-mediated actions on behalf of that user.
Application note: The IC manufacturer and the MRTD manufacturer write the Initialization Data
and/or Pre-personalization Data in the audit records of the IC during the Phase 2 “Manufacturing”.
The audit records can be written only in the Phase 2 Manufacturing of the TOE. At this time the
Manufacturer is the only user role available for the TOE. The MRTD manufacturer may create the
user role Personalization Agent for transition from Phase 2 to Phase 3 “Personalization of the
MRTD”. The users in role Personalization Agent identify themselves by means of selecting the
authentication key. After personalization in the Phase 3 (i.e. writing the digital MRZ and the
Document Basic Access Keys) the user role Basic Inspection System is created by writing the
Document Basic Access Keys. The Basic Inspection System is identified as default user after
power up or reset of the TOE i.e. the TOE will use the Document Basic Access Key to authenticate
the user as Basic Inspection System..
Application note: In the “Operational Use” phase the MRTD must not allow anybody to read the
ICCSN, the MRTD identifier or any other unique identification before the user is authenticated as
Basic Inspection System (cf. T.Chip_ID). Note that the terminal and the MRTD‟s chip use a
(randomly chosen) identifier for the communication channel to allow the terminal to communicate
with more than one RFID. If this identifier is randomly selected it will not violate the
OT.Identification. If this identifier is fixed the ST writer should consider the possibility to misuse this
identifier to perform attacks addressed by T.Chip_ID.
6.1.5. Security management (FMT)
6.1.5.1. Limited capabilities (FMT_LIM.1)
FMT_LIM.1.1 The TSF shall be designed in a manner that limits their capabilities so that in
conjunction with ―Limited availability (FMT_LIM.2)‖ the following policy is
enforced:
Deploying Test Features after TOE Delivery does not allow,
1. User Data to be disclosed or manipulated
2. TSF data to be disclosed or manipulated
3. software to be reconstructed and
4. substantial information about construction of TSF to be gathered which
may enable other attacks.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 46 of 68
6.1.5.2. Limited availability (FMT_LIM.2)
FMT_LIM.2.1 The TSF shall be designed in a manner that limits their availability so that in
conjunction with ―Limited capabilities (FMT_LIM.1)‖ the following policy is
enforced:
Deploying Test Features after TOE Delivery does not allow,
1. User Data to be disclosed or manipulated,
2. TSF data to be disclosed or manipulated
3. software to be reconstructed and
4. substantial information about construction of TSF to be gathered
5. which may enable other attacks.
Application note: The formulation of “Deploying Test Features …” in FMT_LIM.2.1 might be a
little bit misleading since the addressed features are no longer available (e.g. by disabling or
removing the respective functionality). Nevertheless the combination of FMT_LIM.1 and
FMT_LIM.2 is introduced to provide an optional approach to enforce the same policy.
Note that the term “software” in item 3 of FMT_LIM.1.1 and FMT_LIM.2.1 refers to both IC
Dedicated and IC Embedded Software.
6.1.5.3. Management of security functions behavior (FMT_MOF.1)
FMT_MOF.1.1 The TSF shall restrict the ability to disable the functions Card Content Loading
and Installation, and Patching to the Manufacturer.
Application note: The Card Content Loading and Installation particularly refers to the loading and
installation of Java Card applets into the TOE. Disabling these functions is permanent: the
functions are terminated.
6.1.5.4. Management of TSF data (FMT_MTD.1)
 Writing of Initialization Data and Pre-personalization Data
FMT_MTD.1.1/
INI_ENA
The TSF shall restrict the ability to write the Initialization Data and Pre-
personalization Data to the Manufacturer.
Application note: The pre-personalization Data includes but is not limited to the authentication
reference data for the Personalization Agent which is the symmetric cryptographic Personalization
Agent Key.
 Disabling of Read Access to Initialization Data and Pre-personalization Data
FMT_MTD.1.1/
INI_DIS
The TSF shall restrict the ability to disable read access for users to the
Initialization Data to the Personalization Agent.
Application note: According to P.Manufact the IC Manufacturer and the MRTD Manufacturer are
the default users assumed by the TOE in the role Manufacturer during the Phase 2
“Manufacturing” but the TOE is not requested to distinguish between these users within the role
Manufacturer. The TOE may restrict the ability to write the Initialization Data and the Pre-
personalization Data by (i) allowing to write these data only once and (ii) blocking the role
Manufacturer at the end of the Phase 2. The IC Manufacturer may write the Initialization Data
which includes but are not limited to the IC Identifier as required by FAU_SAS.1. The Initialization
Data provides a unique identification of the IC which is used to trace the IC in the Phase 2 and 3
“personalization” but is not needed and may be misused in the Phase 4 “Operational Use”.
Therefore the external read access shall be blocked. The MRTD Manufacturer will write the Pre-
personalization Data.
 Key Write
FMT_MTD.1.1/
KEY_WRITE
The TSF shall restrict the ability to write the Document Basic Access Keys to
the Personalization Agent.
Application note: The Country Verifying Certification Authority Public Key is the TSF data for
verification of the certificates of the Document Verifier and the Extended Inspection Systems
including the access rights for the Extended Access Control.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 47 of 68
 Key Read
FMT_MTD.1.1/
KEY_READ
The TSF shall restrict the ability to read the Document Basic Access Keys,
Active Authentication Private Key and Personalization Agent Keys to none.
Application note: The Personalization Agent generates, stores and ensures the correctness of
the Document Basic Access Keys.
 Active Authentication Private Key
FMT_MTD.1.1/
AAPK
The TSF shall restrict the ability to create the Active Authentication Private
Key to the Terminal.
Application note: The verb “create” means here that the Terminal (after successful authentication
of the Personalization Agent) is requesting the creation of the Active Authentication Key on the
TOE and is requesting the secure generation of the Active Authentication Private Key by the TOE
itself. See the instantiation of the component FCS_CKM.1 as SFR for this key generation.
6.1.5.5. Specifications of Management Functions (FMT_SMF.1)
FMT_SMF.1.1 The TSF shall be capable of performing the following security management
functions:
1. Initialization,
2. Pre-personalization,
3. Personalization,
4. Card Content Loading and Installation termination,
5. Patching termination.
6.1.5.6. Security roles (FMT_SMR.1)
FMT_SMR.1.1 The TSF shall maintain the roles
1. Manufacturer,
2. Personalization Agent,
3. Basic Inspection System.
FMT_SMR.1.2 The TSF shall be able to associate users with roles.
6.1.6. Protection of the TSF (FPT)
6.1.6.1. TOE Emanation (FPT_EMSEC.1)
FPT_EMSEC.1.1 The TOE shall not emit information of IC Power consumption in excess of
State of the Art values enabling access to Personalization Agent Key(s) and
Active Authentication Private Key.
FPT_EMSEC.1.2 The TSF shall ensure any users are unable to use the following interface
smart card circuit contacts to gain access to Personalization Agent Key(s)
and Active Authentication Private Key.
Application note: The TOE prevents attacks against the listed secret data where the attack is
based on external observable physical phenomena of the TOE. Such attacks may be observable
at the interfaces of the TOE or may be originated from internal operation of the TOE or may be
caused by an attacker that varies the physical environment under which the TOE operates. The
set of measurable physical phenomena is influenced by the technology employed to implement
the smart card. The MRTD‟s chip provides a smart card contactless interface but may have also
(not used by the terminal but maybe by an attacker) sensitive contacts according to ISO/IEC 7816-
2 as well. Examples of measurable phenomena include, but are not limited to variations in the
power consumption, the timing of signals and the electromagnetic radiation due to internal
operations or data transmissions.

V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 48 of 68
6.1.6.2. Failure with preservation of secure state (FPT_FLS.1)
FPT_FLS.1.1 The TSF shall preserve a secure state when the following types of failures
occur:
1. Exposure to out-of-range operating conditions where therefore a
malfunction could occur,
2. failure detected by TSF according to FPT_TST.1.
6.1.6.3. Resistance to physical attack (FPT_PHP.3)
FPT_PHP.3.1 The TSF shall resist Physical manipulation and physical probing to the TSF by
responding automatically such that the SFRs are always enforced.
Application note: The TOE implements appropriate measures to continuously counter physical
manipulation and physical probing. Due to the nature of these attacks (especially manipulation) the
TOE can by no means detect attacks on all of its elements. Therefore, permanent protection
against these attacks is required ensuring that the TSP could not be violated at any time. Hence,
“automatic response” means here (i) assuming that there might be an attack at any time and (ii)
countermeasures are provided at any time.
Application note: The SFRs “Non-bypassability of the TSF FPT_RVM.1” and “TSF domain
separation FPT_SEP.1” are no longer part of [2]. These requirements are now an implicit part of
the assurance requirement ADV_ARC.1.
6.1.6.4. Testing of external entities (FPT_TEE.1)
FPT_TEE.1.1 The TSF shall run a suite of tests during initial start-up to check the fulfillment
of the integrity of TOE sensitive data.
FPT_TEE.1.2 If the test fails, the TSF shall enter a mute state and possibly get
TERMINATED.
Application note: self test for the verification of the integrity of TOE sensitive data are executed
during initial start-up in the Phase 3 “Personalization” and Phase 4 “Operational Use”. It covers the
integrity of data such as TOE lifecycle state and TOE code, including patching data.
6.1.6.5. TSF testing (FPT_TST.1)
FPT_TST.1.1 The TSF shall run a suite of self tests during initial start-up to demonstrate the
correct operation of the TSF.
FPT_TST.1.2 The TSF shall provide authorised users with the capability to verify the
integrity of TSF data.
FPT_TST.1.3 The TSF shall provide authorised users with the capability to verify the
integrity of stored TSF executable code.
Application note: self test for the verification of the integrity of stored TSF executable code are
executed during initial start-up in the Phase 3 “Personalization” and Phase 4 “Operational Use”.

6.2.2. SARs Rationale
The EAL4 was chosen to permit a developer to gain maximum assurance from positive security
engineering based on good commercial development practices 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 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 sensitive security specific engineering
costs.
Augmentation results from the selection of:
ALC_DVS.2 Life-cycle support- Sufficiency of security measures
The selection of the component ALC_DVS.2 provides a higher assurance of the security of the MRTD‘s
development and manufacturing especially for the secure handling of the MRTD‘s material.
The component ALC_DVS.2 has no dependencies.
All of these are met or exceeded in the EAL4 assurance package.

6.3.2. Security Requirements Sufficiency
6.3.2.1. TOE Security Requirements Sufficiency
OT.AC_Pers (Access Control for Personalization of logical MRTD) addresses the access control of
the writing the logical MRTD. The write access to the logical MRTD data are defined by the SFR
FDP_ACC.1 and FDP_ACF.1 as follows: only the successfully authenticated Personalization Agent is
allowed to write the data of the groups EF.DG1 to EF.DG16 of the logical MRTD only once.
The authentication of the terminal as Personalization Agent shall be performed by TSF according to SRF
FIA_UAU.4 and FIA_UAU.5. The Personalization Agent can be authenticated either by using the BAC
mechanism (FCS_CKM.1, FCS_COP.1/SHA, FCS_RND.1 (for key generation), and FCS_COP.1/ENC as
well as FCS_COP.1/MAC) with the personalization key or for reasons of interoperability with the [5] by
using the symmetric authentication mechanism (FCS_COP.1/ AUTH).
In case of using the BAC mechanism the SFR FIA_UAU.6 describes the re-authentication and
FDP_UCT.1 and FDP_UIT.1 the protection of the transmitted data by means of secure messaging
implemented by the cryptographic functions according to FCS_CKM.1, FCS_COP.1/SHA, FCS_RND.1
(for key generation), and FCS_COP.1/ENC as well as FCS_COP.1/MAC for the ENC_MAC_Mode.
The SFR FMT_SMR.1 lists the roles (including Personalization Agent) and the SFR FMT_SMF.1 lists the
TSF management functions (including Personalization) setting the Document Basic Access Keys
according to the SFR FMT_MTD.1/KEY_WRITE as authentication reference data. The SFR
FMT_MTD.1/KEY_READ prevents read access to the secret key of the Personalization Agent Keys and
ensure together with the SFR FCS_CKM.4, FPT_EMSEC.1, FPT_FLS.1 and FPT_PHP.3 the
confidentially of these keys.
OT.Data_Int (Integrity of personal data) requires the TOE to protect the integrity of the logical MRTD
stored on the MRTD‘s chip against physical manipulation and unauthorized writing. The write access to
the logical MRTD data is defined by the SFR FDP_ACC.1 and FDP_ACF.1 in the same way: only the
Personalization Agent is allowed to write the data of the groups EF.DG1 to EF.DG16 of the logical MRTD
(FDP_ACF.1.2, rule 1) and terminals are not allowed to modify any of the data groups EF.DG1 to
EF.DG16 of the logical MRTD (cf. FDP_ACF.1.4). The SFR FMT_SMR.1 lists the roles (including
Personalization Agent) and the SFR FMT_SMF.1 lists the TSF management functions (including
Personalization). The authentication of the terminal as Personalization Agent shall be performed by TSF
according to SRF FIA_UAU.4, FIA_UAU.5 and FIA_UAU.6 using either FCS_COP.1/ENC and
FCS_COP.1/MAC or FCS_COP.1/AUTH.
OT.Data_Int (Integrity of personal data) requires the TOE to ensure that the inspection system is able to
detect any modification of the transmitted logical MRTD data by means of the BAC mechanism. The SFR
FIA_UAU.6, FDP_UCT.1 and FDP_UIT.1 requires the protection of the transmitted data by means of
secure messaging implemented by the cryptographic functions according to FCS_CKM.1,
FCS_COP.1/SHA, FCS_RND.1 (for key generation), and FCS_COP.1/ENC and FCS_COP.1/MAC for the
ENC_MAC_Mode. The SFR FMT_MTD.1/KEY_WRITE requires the Personalization Agent to establish
the Document Basic Access Keys in a way that they cannot be read by anyone in accordance to
FMT_MTD.1/KEY_READ.
OT.Data_Conf (Confidentiality of personal data) requires the TOE to ensure the confidentiality of the
logical MRTD data groups EF.DG1 to EF.DG16. The SFR FIA_UID.1 and FIA_UAU.1 allow only those
actions before identification respective authentication which do not violate OT.Data_Conf. In case of failed
authentication attempts FIA_AFL.1 enforces additional waiting time prolonging the necessary amount of
time for facilitating a brute force attack. The read access to the logical MRTD data is defined by the
FDP_ACC.1 and FDP_ACF.1.2: the successful authenticated Personalization Agent is allowed to read
the data of the logical MRTD (EF.DG1 to EF.DG16). The successful authenticated Basic Inspection
System is allowed to read the data of the logical MRTD (EF.DG1, EF.DG2 and EF.DG5 to EF.DG16). The
SFR FMT_SMR.1 lists the roles (including Personalization Agent and Basic Inspection System) and the
SFR FMT_SMF.1 lists the TSF management functions (including Personalization for the key management
for the Document Basic Access Keys).
The SFR FIA_UAU.4 prevents reuse of authentication data to strengthen the authentication of the user.
The SFR FIA_UAU.5 enforces the TOE to accept the authentication attempt as Basic Inspection System
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 53 of 68
only by means of the Basic Access Control Authentication Mechanism with the Document Basic Access
Keys. Moreover, the SFR FIA_UAU.6 requests secure messaging after successful authentication of the
terminal with Basic Access Control Authentication Mechanism which includes the protection of the
transmitted data in ENC_MAC_Mode by means of the cryptographic functions according to
FCS_COP.1/ENC and FCS_COP.1/MAC (cf. the SFR FDP_UCT.1 and FDP_UIT.1). (for key generation),
and FCS_COP.1/ENC and FCS_COP.1/MAC for the ENC_MAC_Mode. The SFR FCS_CKM.1,
FCS_CKM.4, FCS_COP.1/SHA and FCS_RND.1 establish the key management for the secure
messaging keys. The SFR FMT_MTD.1/KEY_WRITE addresses the key management and
FMT_MTD.1/KEY_READ prevents reading of the Document Basic Access Keys.
Note, neither the security objective OT.Data_Conf nor the SFR FIA_UAU.5 requires the Personalization
Agent to use the Basic Access Control Authentication Mechanism or secure messaging.
OT.Identification (Identification and Authentication of the TOE) address the storage of the IC
Identification Data uniquely identifying the MRTD‘s chip in its non-volatile memory. This will be ensured by
TSF according to SFR FAU_SAS.1.
Furthermore, the TOE shall identify itself only to a successful authenticated Basic Inspection System in
Phase 4 ―Operational Use‖. The SFR FMT_MTD.1/INI_ENA allows only the Manufacturer to write
Initialization Data and Pre-personalization Data (including the Personalization Agent key). The SFR
FMT_MTD.1/INI_DIS allows the Personalization Agent to disable Initialization Data if their usage in the
phase 4 ―Operational Use‖ violates the security objective OT.Identification. The SFR FIA_UID.1 and
FIA_UAU.1 do not allow reading of any data uniquely identifying the MRTD‘s chip before successful
authentication of the Basic Inspection Terminal and will stop communication after unsuccessful
authentication attempt (cf. Application note 30). In case of failed authentication attempts FIA_AFL.1
enforces additional waiting time prolonging the necessary amount of time for facilitating a brute force
attack.
OT.Prot_Abuse-Func (Protection against Abuse of Functionality) is ensured by the SFR FMT_LIM.1
and FMT_LIM.2 which prevent misuse of test functionality of the TOE or other features which may not be
used after TOE Delivery.
OT.Prot_Inf_Leak (Protection against Information Leakage) requires the TOE to protect confidential
TSF data stored and/or processed in the MRTD‘s chip against disclosure
- by measurement and analysis of the shape and amplitude of signals or the time between events
found by measuring signals on the electromagnetic field, power consumption, clock, or I/O lines,
which is addressed by the SFR FPT_EMSEC.1,
- by forcing a malfunction of the TOE, which is addressed by the SFR FPT_FLS.1 and FPT_TST.1,
and/or
- by a physical manipulation of the TOE, which is addressed by the SFR FPT_PHP.3.
OT.Prot_Phys-Tamper (Protection against Physical Tampering) is covered by the SFR FPT_PHP.3.
OT.Prot_Malfunction (Protection against Malfunctions) is covered by (i) the SFR FPT_TST.1 which
requires self tests to demonstrate the correct operation and tests of authorized users to verify the integrity
of TSF data and TSF code, and (ii) the SFR FPT_FLS.1 which requires a secure state in case of detected
failure or operating conditions possibly causing a malfunction.
OT.AA_Proof (Proof of MRTD’s chip authenticity by Active Authentication) is ensured by the Active
Authentication Protocol provided by FIA_API.1/AAP enforcing the identification and authentication of the
MRTD‘s chip. The Active Authentication protocol requires FCS_RND.1 (for the generation of the
challenge), and FCS_COP.1/SHA (for the host challenge hashing) and FCS_COP.1/SIG_GEN (for the
signature generation). The Active Authentication private Key is used. This TOE secret data is created
during Personalization (Phase 3) according to FCS_CKM.1/KP (for Key generation mechanism), and by
authorized agent as required by FMT_MTD.1/ AAPK.

OT.CCLI_END (Secure termination of Card Content Loading and Installation) is provided by
FMT_MOF.1/Close and FMT_SMF.1 which ensure that the access to the Card Content Loading and
Installation is provided to the Manufacturer.
OT.PATCH_SEC (Secure Patch Mechanism) is provided by FPT_PHP.1, FPT_PHP.3, FPT_TEE.1 and
FPT_TST.1. These requirements ensure that the Patch Mechanism is preserved from tampering,
preventing and detecting physical intrusions that would alter the mechanism itself or the routing from the
original software to the loaded patches. These requirements also enforce testing of the critical patch
mechanism data during power-up procedure, in order to detect a corruption in the TOE sensitive
properties linked to the patch mechanism.
OT.PATCH_END (Secure termination of Patching) is provided by FMT_MOF.1/Close and FMT_SMF.1
which ensure that the access to the Patching mechanism termination is provided to the Manufacturer.

7. TOE summary specification
This set of TSFs manages the identification and/or authentication of the external user and enforces role
separation (FMT_SMR.1).
All details of the Security Functions of this TOE can be obtained by contacting an Athena Sales and
Support representative. This Security Target Lite contains the main highlights for each Security Function.
7.1. SF.Access Control
This function checks that for each operation initiated by a user, the security attributes for user
authorization (FMT_SMR.1) and data communication required are satisfied.
The function includes control over the Terminal gaining access to MRTD‘s chip data (FDP_ACC.1,
FDP_ACF.1) based on authentication status of the Terminal and Terminal authorizations:
Control over the authorization of Manufacturer during Pre-personalization Phase 2 to:
- Write the initialization data and pre-personalization data (FMT_MTD.1/INI_ENA)
Control over the authorization of Personalization Agent during Personalization Phase 3 to:
- Write and Read EF.COM, EF.SOD, EF.DG1 to EF.DG16 (FDP_ACF.1.2 (1))
- Create initial Active Authentication Private Key (FMT_MTD.1/AAPK)
- Write Document Basic Access Keys (FMT_MTD.1/KEY_WRITE)
- Disable read access to initialization data for users (FMT_MTD.1/INI_DIS)
Control over the Basic Inspection System during Usage Phase 4 to:
- Read EF.COM, EF.SOD, EF.DG1, EF.DG2, EF.DG5 to EF.DG16 (FDP_ACF.1.2 (2))
- Prevent reading of EF.DG3 (fingerprint) and EF.DG4 (Iris) (FDP_ACF.1.4 (3))
- Create new Active Authentication Keys (FMT_MTD.1/AAPK)
Control over any non-authenticated Terminal during Usage Phase 4 to:
- Prevent modification of EF.DG1 to EF.DG16 (FDP_ACF.1.4 (1))
- Prevent reading of EF.DG1 to EF.DG16 (FDP_ACF.1.4 (2))
- Prevent reading Document Basic Access Keys, Personalization Agent Keys, Active
Authentication Private Key (FMT_MTD.1/KEY_READ)
Control over the enforcement of Secure Messaging over:
- Importation and exportation of data (including but not restricted to EF.COM, EF.SOD, EF.DG1-
EF.DG16) after successful BAC Authentication (FDP_UCT.1, FDP_UIT.1)
7.2. SF.Card Personalization
This TSF provides Card initialization and pre-personalization services (FMT_SMF.1) as per
GlobalPlatform. This includes but is not restricted to card initialization, patch loading, applet installation
and instantiation.
This TSF also provides MRTD‘s chip personalization functions to allow the Personalization Agent to
create and set the initial MRTD‘s LDS data (FMT_SMF.1). This includes disabling read access to
Initialization data at completion of the personalization phase (FIA_UAU.1).
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 56 of 68
7.3. SF.Manufacturer Authentication
The Manufacturer is the only user authenticated through the GlobalPlatform Mutual Authentication
process. He authenticates during the Manufacturing Phase of the TOE (FAU_SAS.1) using the Secure
Channel protocol (SCP01 or SCP02).
This user is able to authenticate with the Operating System to launch the installation of the ICAO applet
and to perform TOE Operating System (OS) personalization (MRTD IC pre-personalization). He is also
able to read the Initialization Data (FIA_UAU.1, FIA_UID.1).
When the TOE is ready to be personalized, the Manufacturer will create the authentication data for the
Personalization Agent and terminate this manufacturing stage by disabling the card content loading and
installation functions.
In Usage phase, the Manufacturer could only authenticate to TERMINATE the TOE.
7.4. SF.Personalizer Authentication
The Personalization Agent is authenticated by the TOE using its symmetric key (FIA_UAU.5). He is able
to read the random identifier in that phase (FIA_UAU.1, FIA_UID.1).
The authentication requires a symmetric encryption using TDES in CBC mode with a key length of 112
bits (FCS_COP.1/ENC).
IC power variation emanation is below state of the art values, and physical access to the authentication
data is protected during this SF activity (FPT_EMSEC.1).
7.5. SF.BAC Authentication
This TSF provides the Basic Access Control passive authentication protocol (The Terminal is then
allowed to select this authentication key and proceed with BAC Authentication (FIA_UAU.1, FIA_UID.1,
and FIA_UAU.5). This is the only authentication mechanism that involves symmetric keys (KBEnc and
KBMAC): TDES 112 bits (FCS_COP.1/AUTH).
As part of the protocol, the BAC Session Keys are derived from the MRZ of the MRTD‘s chip: this is done
using SHA-1 (FCS_COP.1/SHA). The authentication initialization requires that the MRTD‘s chip
generates 8 bytes challenge (nonce rPICC) that is read by the Basic Inspection System (FIA_UAU.1), and
16 bytes Key (KPICC) (FCS_RND.1). The MRTD BAC authentication stages also require TDES encryption
of 32 bytes of concatenated data and a Retail MAC computation over the 32 bytes of encryption output
(FCS_COP.1/MAC). The Basic Inspection System also generated a pair (KPCD, rPCD). The use of
challenges enforces a protection against replay (FIA_UAU.4).
Completion of the BAC Authentication protocol means that a Secure Messaging session is started with
the session keys (KENC and KMAC) derived from the derived according to [15] from the common master
secret KMaster = KPICCKPCD and a Send Sequence Counter SSC derived from rPICC and rPCD
(FCS_CKM.1/BAC). All further communication with the TOE is handled by SF.Secure Messaging Security
Function, enforcing confidentiality and integrity over transferred data (FIA_UAU.5).
In case the BAC authentication protocol fails (the TOE being unable to identify the Terminal as being a
legitimate Basic Inspection System) the TOE records one authentication failure. If the Terminal reaches a
pre-defined amount of successive authentication failures, the BAC Authentication Key is blocked
(FIA_AFL.1).
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 57 of 68
7.6. SF.Active Authentication
Active Authentication is provided by this TSF based on the availability of DG15 in the MRTD‘s chip
information data (FIA_API.1). This is decided by the Personalization Agent during phase 3 when the LDS
is personalized. The Terminal is then allowed to select this authentication key and proceed with Active
Authentication after successful BAC Authentication (to prevent the privacy threat Challenge Semantics).
See the inspection procedures in section 2.1 of [16].
This TSF involves an optional asymmetric Key Pair (KPrAA, KPuAA) which public part is stored in DG15
and private part is stored securely within the chip. This Key Pair is securely generated on the TOE under
request of the Personalization Agent (FCS_CKM.1/KP).
This TSF ensures that the chip has not been substituted, by means of a challenge-response protocol
between the inspection system and the MRTD‘s chip. The TOE‘s challenge is a true random generated by
the TOE (FCS_RND.1). And the challenge-response involves an RSA signature generation based on
ISO/IEC 9796-2 Digital Signature scheme 1 (FCS_COP.1/SIG_GEN). The use of challenges enforces a
protection against replay (FIA_UAU.4).
IC power variation emanation is below state of the art values, and physical access to the authentication
data is protected during this SF activity (FPT_EMSEC.1).
7.7. SF.Crypto
This Security Function is responsible for providing cryptographic support to all the other Security
Functions including secure key generation, secure random generator, and data hashing:
 Secure generation of asymmetric Key Pair (FCS_CKM.1/KP), key generation is protected against
SPA, Timing attacks, and electromagnetic emanation (FPT_EMSEC.1) and includes Key Pair
Correspondence verification.
o RSA key pair with length from 1024 to 4096 bits
o Elliptic Curves ECDSA Keys with length 160, 192, 224, 256, 384, 521 bits
 Data hashing using SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 (FCS_COP.1/SHA)
 RSA Sign and Verify operations with both CRT and standard Key Pairs of length 1024, 1280,
1536, 2048, 3072 bits (FCS_COP.1/SIG_GEN)
 ECDSA Signature Verification with ECC Keys of length 160, 192, 224, 256, 384, 521 bits
 TDES 2 Keys and 3 Keys in CBC and ECB modes (FCS_COP.1/ENC, FCS_COP.1/MAC,
FCS_COP.1/AUTH)
 Secure destruction of cryptographic key secret or private material (FCS_CKM.4).
 The random number generator of the underlying IC is used by the TOE whenever the generation
of a nonce is required (FCS_RND.1).
 Adequate number of Rabin Miller test rounds is performed in addition to GCD test in order to
ensure correct generation of primes.
 MAC is generated and verified using TDES with 2 or 3 keys.
This TSF enforces protection of Key material during cryptographic functions processing and Key
Generation, against state-of-the-art attacks, including IC power consumption analysis (FPT_EMSEC.1)
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 58 of 68
7.8. SF.Secure Messaging
Commands and responses are exchanged between the TOE and the external device. This TSF provides
a secure mean for the terminal and the card to exchange data (FIA_UAU.1, FIA_UAU.5): such as (and
not restricted to) EF.COM, EF.SOD, EF.DG1 to EF.DG16.
The SF.Secure Messaging function is capable of providing a trusted path between legitimate end points
both of the TOE and the external device. The secure communication channels are enforced by
cryptographic functions.
This function enforces confidentiality (FDP_UCT.1) and integrity (FDP_UIT.1) of the transferred data
(transmitted and received):
 Confidentiality is ensured by a TDES encryption (FCS_COP.1/ENC)
 Integrity is achieved by calculation, embodiment and verification of a Retail MAC
(FCS_COP.1/MAC)
This function provides means to detect if modification, deletion, insertion or replay is occurring during a
Secure Messaging session. In such cases, this TSF will terminate the session and securely destroyed the
session keys (FCS_CKM.4). A session is also terminated upon reset of the TOE. A re-authentication using
the Chip Authentication protocol is required after termination of a Secure Messaging session
(FIA_UAU.6).
7.9. SF.Protection
This Security Function is responsible for protection of the TSF data, user data, and TSF functionality.
The SF. Protection function is composed of software implementations of test and security functions
including:
 Performing self tests of the TOE at each power-up (FPT_TEE.1, FPT_TST.1)
 Deleting authentication resources (Biometrics, PINs, secret and private keys) when relevant
memory is de-allocated (FCS_CKM.4)
 Validating the integrity of all stored cryptographic keys and PINs before use and informing the
Terminal when such validation fails (FPT_TST.1).
 Ensuring that Information is not leaked.
 Performing a set of test to verify that the underlying cryptographic algorithms are operating
correctly (FPT_TST.1).
 Initializing memory after reset
 Initializing memory of de-allocated data
 Preserving secure state after sensitive processing failure (RNG, EEPROM handling) or potential
physical tampering or intrusion detection (FPT_FLS.1, FPT_PHP.3)
 Termination of the Card Content Loading and Installation services (FMT_MOF.1, FMT_SMF.1)
 Patch loading and termination (FMT_MOF.1, FMT_SMF.1)
The TOE provides the ability to patch some identified native functions of the original TOE. This
mechanism is available during Initialization phase but in the case of this TOE, no patch is loaded. The
patch activities during the initialization phase are reduced to the termination of the patch mechanism.
This TSF prevents re-activation of de-activated or disabled or terminated mechanisms: the code area and
data area are protected (FMT_LIM.1, FMT_LIM.2)

8.2. Rationale for Extensions
Extensions are based on the Protection Profile [4] and have all been adopted by the developer of the
TOE:
- FAU_SAS.1 ‗Audit data storage‘
- FCS_RND.1 ‗Generation of random numbers‘
- FIA_API.1 ‗Authentication Proof of Identity‘
- FPT_EMSEC.1 ‗TOE emanation‘
8.3. PP Claim Rationale
This ST includes all the security objectives and requirements claimed by PP [4], and, all of the operations
applied to the SFRs are in accordance with the requirements of this PP.
8.3.1. SPD Rationale
All the assets, assumptions, threats and OSPs of each claimed PPs have been strictly applied to this
TOE.
The following threats have been added:
T.MOD_SOFT threat has been added as the TOE provides mechanisms for loading and installing
software, and patching original software during the Initialization phase. These features actually introduce
threats that some illegal modifications of the TOE might be performed.
T.Counterfeit has been added as the TOE may support the Active Authentication Protocol. This
mechanism prevents a threat the MRTD‘s chip is counterfeit.
The following assumptions have also been added:
A.Pers_Agent_AA assumption has been added as the TOE personalization phase may include
personalization of the Active Authentication (AA) Keys.
A.Insp_Sys_AA assumption has been added as the Inspection system should proceed to Active
Authentication if the corresponding Keys are present on the MRTD‘s chip (Public Key present in
EF.DG15).
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 60 of 68
8.3.2. Objectives Rationale
The following objectives for the TOE have been added to those of the PP [4]:
OT.CCLI_END objective has been added to cover the fact that the card is closed before issuance:
installation phase includes a step that terminates Card Content Loading and Installing. This procedure is
irreversible.
OT.PATCH_SEC and OT.PATCH_END objectives have been added to cover the fact that the card
provides a patch mechanism that allows patch loading and termination during Initialization phase of the
TOE. Terminating the patch mechanism is irreversible: loaded patches are always run instead of the
original code and no more patches can be loaded.
OT.AA_Proof objective has been added to cover the fact that the card may support Active Authentication
(AA) and provide a secure mean to the inspection system to authenticate the TOE as a genuine MRTD‘s
chip.
The following objectives for the TOE environment have been added to those of the PP [4]:
OT.Exam_MRTD_AA objective has been added to cover the fact that the card may support Active
Authentication (AA) and the inspection system should always examine the MRTD passport book and
perform AA when provided.
OT.Active_Auth_Key objective has been added to cover the fact that the card may support Active
Authentication (AA) and the inspection system should always handle the AA Key in a secure manner: that
key is generated in the TOE and the public part should be written in EF.FG15.
8.3.3. SFR Rationale
The selections and assignments performed in the TOE are compliant with PP [5].
Selections and refinements of SFRs allowable by PP [5] were performed and are noted by using
underline italic text. The following SFRs from the PPs have been reworked.
Assignments:
- FCS_CKM.4
- FCS_RND.1
- FIA_AFL.1
- FPT_EMSEC.1
- FPT_TST.1
Selections:
- FCS_COP.1/ SHA
- FCS_COP.1/ AUTH
- FIA_UAU.4
- FIA_UAU.5
- FPT_TST.1
Due to the introduction of Active Authentication (AA), some SFRs have been modified:
- FCS_CKM.1 has been renamed FCS_CKM.1/ BAC (for Basic Access Control)
- FIA_UAU.4 has been modified to also cover the AA protocol
- FMT_MTD.1/ KEY_READ has been modify to also prevent AA Private Key read
- FPT_EMSEC.1 has been modified to also protect the AA Private Key
Due to the introduction of Card Content Loading and Installation and Patching mechanisms during TOE
initialization (both terminated before issuance), some SFRs have been modified:
- FMT_SMF.1.1 includes the two additional security management functions:‖Card Content Loading
and Installation termination‟ and „Patching termination‖.
Athena Smartcard, Inc. REF: ST-ICAO-01
V2.3 Cassiope Confidential Material Page 61 of 68
8.3.4. PP Additions
Some SFRs have been added to the set of SFRs proposed by PP [5].
The following SFRs have been added in relation to the addition of Active Authentication:
- FCS_CKM.1/ KP: AA Key Pair generation
- FCS_COP.1/ SIG_GEN: Data Signature Generation using the AA Private Key
- FIA_API.1: Active Authentication Protocol
- FMT_MTD.1/ AAPK: AA Keys access control
The following SFRs have been added in relation to the addition of Card Content Loading and Installation
and Patching mechanisms:
- FMT_MOF.1: Access Control to termination of these security features
- FPT_TEE.1: TOE sensitive data integrity checks
8.3.5. PP compliancy
The TOE type is compliant with the claimed PP: the TOE is an ICAO MRTD‘s chip providing all means of
identification and authentication of the TOE itself, the MRTD‘s traveler and possibly the Terminal.
The TOE is compliant with the representation provided in the ICAO Machine Readable Travel Document
Chip with Basic Access Control PP [4].
The compliance is strict: the addition of specific TOE security mechanisms to the security principles of this
Security Target required only the addition of one Threat and three TOE Objectives.
These additions do not affect the concept defined in the PP [4] and this ST is a suitable solution to the
generic security problem described in the PP.
