Independent testing – conformance
5.5.2 Security Assurance Requirements Rationale
This Security Target claims conformance to the NDPP which draws from EAL1 the
Security Assurance Requirements (SARs). This target was chosen to ensure that the TOE
has a low to moderate level of assurance in enforcing its security functions when
instantiated in its intended environment which imposes no restrictions on assumed
activity on applicable networks.
5.6 Assurance Measures
The TOE satisfies the identified assurance requirements. This section identifies the
Assurance Measures applied by Cisco to satisfy the assurance requirements. The table
below lists the details.
Table 19: Assurance Measures
How requirement will be met
The functional specification describes the external interfaces of
the TOE; such as the means for a user to invoke a service and the
corresponding response of those services. The description
includes the interface(s) that enforces a security functional
requirement, the interface(s) that supports the enforcement of a
security functional requirement, and the interface(s) that does not
enforce any security functional requirements. The interfaces are
described in terms of their purpose (general goal of the interface),
method of use (how the interface is to be used), parameters
(explicit inputs to and outputs from an interface that control the
behavior of that interface), parameter descriptions (tells what the
parameter is in some meaningful way), and error messages
(identifies the condition that generated it, what the message is,
and the meaning of any error codes). The development evidence
also contains a tracing of the interfaces to the SFRs described in
this ST.
