Protection Profile 

PP OVERVIEW

Herewith a brief summary, sufficiently detailed to enable a potential user to detemine whether the PP is of interest.

This traffic-filter firewall Protection Profile defines the minimum security requirements for firewalls used by U.S Government organizations, including the Department of Defense, handling unclassified or sensitive but unclassified information for Mission-Critical Categories in a medium robustness environment. Firewalls may consist of one or more devices that act as part of an organization’s overall security defense by isolating an organization’s internal network from the Internet or other external networks. Firewalls pass and block information flows based on a set of screening rules defined by an authorized administrator. This Protection Profile applies to firewalls that are capable of screening network traffic at the network and transport protocol levels, authenticating the authorized administrator for actions at the firewall, and auditing security-relevant events that occur.

Sunset Date: A US Government Firewall Protection Profile for Medium Robustness Environments, ver 1.0, was validated on October 28, 2003 which supercedes the US Government Traffic-Filter Firewall Protection Profile for Medium Robustness Environments. This PP remains effective for products seeking conformance to it until April 30, 2005. After this date, no new evaluations will be accepted.
