PP OVERVIEW

The scope of the File Encryption Enterprise Management PP-Module is to describe the security functionality of a file encryption enterprise management product in terms of [CC] and to define functional and assurance requirements for such products.

The use case for a product conforming to the File Encryption PP-Module is to protect data at rest on a device that is lost or stolen while powered off without any prior access by an adversary. The use case where an adversary obtains a device that is in a powered state and is able to make modifications to the environment or the TOE itself (e.g., evil maid attacks) is not addressed by that module. The module does contain protections to mitigate the potential for attack with a powered on device, but they are not sufficient to protect data from a skilled adversary with physical access.

While that use case is still true for the Enterprise Management PP-Module, this PP-module also expands the use case to include protecting the communications between the Enterprise Management Server and the client device through the use of a trusted channel. It also expands the use case to include the optional abilities of the EM to interact with clients (with proper authorization), to direct it to perform sanitation of keys and material on the device, to manage and store parts of the key chain required for decryption on the client, or to issue a recovery credential to reset the authentication factor if it has been lost.
