The TOE is a hardware and software based traffic management appliance that provides a highly configurable method of selective rule based routing, traffic analysis and response, and bulk SSL processing capabilities. Through effective implementation of the BIG-IP Appliance, users can avoid additional infrastructure expense through effective use and traffic management of existing resources. The F5 BIG-IP appliance provides efficiency gains through local traffic management techniques (LTM) and offloading processes, such as SSL processing, from back-end servers to result in increased resource availability, thereby allowing increased traffic utilization from existing back-end server resources.
","evaluation_configuration":null,"security_evaluation_summary":"The evaluation was carried out in accordance with the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) process and scheme. The criteria against which the F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager 6400 was judged are described in the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 2.2 and International Interpretations effective on 13th, October 2005. The evaluation methodology used by the evaluation team to conduct the evaluation is the Common Methodology for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 2.2, and Common Methodology for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Supplement: ALC_FLR - Flaw Remediation, Version 1.1. InfoGard Laboratories determined that the evaluation assurance level (EAL) for the product is the EAL 2 family of assurance requirements augmented with ALC_FLR.1. The product, when configured in accordance with the guidance identified in Section 6.2 of the ST, satisfies all of the security functional requirements stated in the BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager 6400 Security Target. The TOE is physically delivered to the end User. The guidance is part of the TOE components and is downloaded via the F5 website at \r\nhttps://tech.f5.com/home/solutions/sol7252.html\r\n\r\n
\r\nThis IT product does not conform to a Validated Protection Profile. Validators on behalf of the CCEVS Validation Body monitored the evaluation carried out by InfoGard. The evaluation was completed in March 2007. Results of the evaluation can be found in the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme Validation Report for the F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager 6400, prepared by CCEVS.
","environmental_strengths":"The F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager 6400 is a commercial product that provides seven security functions; identification, audit, information flow control, security management, secure communications, secure traffic and protection of the TOE.
\r\nThe Common Criteria Evaluated Configuration provides for the optional use of an external authentication server in the IT Environment (either LDAP or RADIUS) for authenticating all users except the Administrator role.
