PP OVERVIEW

The scope of this PP-Module is to describe the security functionality of a virtual private network (VPN) client in terms of [CC] and to define functional and assurance requirements for such products. This PP-Module is intended for use with the following Base-PPs:

·         Protection Profile for General Purpose Operating Systems (GPOS PP); or

·         Protection Profile for Mobile Device Fundamentals (MDF PP); or

·         Protection Profile for Application Software (App PP).

These Base-PPs are all valid because a VPN client may be a specific type of stand-alone software application or a built-in component of an operating system, whether desktop or mobile. Regardless of which Base-PP is claimed, the VPN client functionality defined by this PP-Module will rely on the Base-PP. Sections 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 of this PP-Module describe the relevant functionality for each Base-PP, including specific selections, assignments, or inclusion of optional requirements that must be made as needed to support the VPN client functionality.

Assigned to the following Validated Products

• Microsoft Windows 10 version 2004 (May 2020 Update), Microsoft Windows Server version 2004 (May 2020 Update) and others
