The evaluated version of the TOE includes the following editions of Windows 10 with all critical updates as of May 30, 2016:
\r\n· Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit version)
\r\n· Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (64-bit version)
\r\nWindows 10 is suited for business desktops, notebook, convertible, and tablet computers. It is the workstation product and while it can be used by itself, it is designed to serve as a client within Windows domains.
","evaluation_configuration":"","security_evaluation_summary":"\r\n\r\nThe evaluation was carried out in accordance with the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) process and scheme for the PP VPN IPSEC CLIENT, version 1.4. The criteria against which the Windows 10 IPsec VPN Client was judged are described in the Protection Profile Assurance Activities. The evaluation methodology used by the evaluation team to conduct the evaluation is the Common Methodology for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 3.1 revision 4. The product, when delivered configured as identified in the guidance document, satisfies all of the security functional requirements stated in the Microsoft Windows 10 IPsec VPN Client Security Target, Version 0.07. The project underwent CCEVS validation team review. The evaluation was completed in November 2016. Results of the evaluation can be found in the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme Validation Report prepared by CCEVS.
","environmental_strengths":"\r\n\r\nSecurity Audit
\r\nWindows has the ability to collect audit data, review audit logs, protect audit logs from overflow, and restrict access to audit logs. Audit information generated by the system includes the date and time of the event, the user identity that caused the event to be generated, and other event specific data. Authorized administrators can review audit logs and have the ability to search and sort audit records. Authorized Administrators can also configure the audit system to include or exclude potentially auditable events to be audited based on a wide range of characteristics. In the context of this evaluation, the protection profile requirements cover generating audit events and selecting which events should be audited.
\r\nCryptographic Support
\r\nWindows provides FIPS validated cryptographic functions that support encryption/decryption, cryptographic signatures, cryptographic hashing, cryptographic key agreement (which is not studied in this evaluation), and random number generation. The TOE additionally provides support for public keys, credential management and certificate validation functions and provides support for the National Security Agency’s Suite B cryptographic algorithms. Windows also provides extensive auditing support of cryptographic operations, the ability to replace cryptographic functions and random number generators with alternative implementations, and a key isolation service designed to limit the potential exposure of secret and private keys. In addition to using cryptography for its own security functions, Windows offers access to the cryptographic support functions for user-mode and kernel-mode programs. Public key certificates generated and used by Windows authenticate users and machines as well as protect both user and system data in transit.
\r\n· IPsec: Windows implements IPsec to provide protected, authenticated, confidential, and tamper-proof networking between two peer computers.
\r\nUser Data Protection
\r\nIn the context of this evaluation Windows protects user data by means of protected network tunnel based on IPsec and zeroizes memory before it is allocated to a subject process.
\r\nIdentification and Authentication
\r\nIn the context of this evaluation, Windows provides the ability to use, store, and protect X.509 certificates that are used for IPsec VPN sessions along with capability to use a pre-shared key.
\r\nProtection of the TOE Security Functions
\r\nWindows provides a number of features to ensure the protection of TOE security functions. Windows protects against unauthorized data disclosure and modification by using a suite of Internet standard protocols including IPsec, IKE, and ISAKMP. Windows ensures process isolation security for all processes through private virtual address spaces, execution context, and security context. The Windows data structures defining process address space, execution context, memory protection, and security context are stored in protected kernel-mode memory. Windows includes self-testing features that ensure the integrity of executable program images and its cryptographic functions. Finally, Windows provides a trusted update mechanism to update Windows binaries itself.
\r\nTrusted Path for Communications
\r\nWindows uses the IPsec suite of protocols to provide a Virtual Private Network Connection (VPN) between itself, acting as a VPN client, and a VPN gateway.
\r\nSecurity Management
\r\nWindows includes several functions to manage security policies. Policy management is controlled through a combination of access control, membership in administrator groups, and privileges.
