PP OVERVIEW

Transition Window

 The Transition Window for this PP is from the date of publication through 1 June 2012. During the Transition Window, products will be accepted into evaluation against the PP or against an ST at EAL2 with a Letter of Intent. Once the Transition Window closes, all relevant products submitted for evaluation will only be evaluated against the PP.

Wireless LAN Access System

This is the approved Protection Profile for Wireless LAN Access.  The Target of Evaluation (TOE) defined in this protection Profile (PP) is used  for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Access Systems for the protection of sensitive but unclassified data on a wireless network. This PP details the policies, assumptions, threats, security objectives, security functional requirements, and security assurance requirements for the WLAN and its supporting environment.

Usage Senario

The TOE for the WLAN Access System contributes to a secure wireless access solution for providing secure communication between a user (wireless client) and a wired network (e.g., enterprise network) by providing centralized management functions, policy control, and cryptographic services to support administration, authentication, encryption, and the protection and handling of data in transit.

Threat Addressed

Threats addressed by the TOE are listed in the Threat section of the PP.  Examples include, help mitigate denial of service (DoS) attacks and preventing resource exhaustion.

This U.S. Government Approved Protection Profile is not assigned to any Validated Products
