PP OVERVIEW

This PP specifies the minimum security requirements for Instrument Grading Systems (i.e., the Target of Evaluation (TOE) used in processing plants overseen by USDA Graders in Basic Robustness Environments. Instrument Grading Systems provide automated grading of products (e.g., beef) as well as records of the grading process, and are considered to provide sufficient assurance for the grading process for environments where the likelihood of an attempted compromise is low.

SECURITY EVALUATION SUMMARY

The evaluation of the US Government Protection Profile for USDA Instrument Grading Systems for Basic Robustness Environments, Version 1.0, was performed by COACT, Inc., CAFÉ Lab CCTL in the United States and was completed on 22 September 2008. The Protection Profile (PP) identified in this Validation Report has been evaluated at an accredited testing laboratory using the Common Methodology for IT Security Evaluation (Version 3.1) for conformance to the APE requirements of the Common Criteria for IT Security Evaluation (Version 3.1). The evaluation team concluded that the Common Criteria requirements for a PP Evaluation have been met.

ENVIRONMENTAL STRENGTHS

The evaluation of the US Government Protection Profile for USDA Instrument Grading Systems for Basic Robustness Environments, Version 1.0 provides specification for environments in which TOEs with various levels of robustness are appropriate to meet Basic Robustness level of independently assured security requirements. The assurance requirements were chosen to be consistent with this goal.
