The TOE is the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Android. The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility client provides remote users with secure IPsec (IKEv2) VPN connections to the Cisco 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) VPN Gateway. The TOE is a software-only VPN client application executing on an Android mobile device platform that provides IPsec to authenticate and encrypt network traffic travelling across an unprotected public network. By protecting the communication from unauthorized disclosure or modification, the TOE allows remote users to securely connect to an organization’s network resources and applications. The TOE executes on one of the following underlying mobile platforms considered to be part of the IT environment:
\r\nThe underlying platform provides some of the security functionality required in the VPNv1.4 Client PP. Refer to the Samsung Galaxy Devices with Android 6 Security Target[1] and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Devices on Android 6 Security Target[2] for information regarding the evaluated configuration requirements.
\r\nThe evaluation was carried out in accordance to the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) requirements and guidance. The evaluation demonstrated that the TOE meets the security requirements contained in the Security Target. The criteria against which the TOE was judged are described in the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 3.1, Revision 4, September 2012. The evaluation methodology used by the evaluation team to conduct the evaluation is the Common Methodology for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Evaluation Methodology, Version 3.1, Revision 4, July 2012.
\r\nThe TOE, configured as specified in the evaluated guidance, satisfies all of the security functional requirements stated in the Security Target. The project underwent CCEVS Validator review. The evaluation was completed March 1, 2017 and results of the evaluation can be found in the National Information Assurance Partnership Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme Validation Report Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Android (report number CCEVS-VR-VID10770-2017) prepared by CCEVS.
","environmental_strengths":"\r\n\r\nThe logical boundaries of the TOE are realized in the security functions that it implements. Each of these security functions is summarized below.
\r\nCryptographic support: The TOE provides cryptography in support of IPsec with ESP symmetric cryptography for bulk AES encryption/decryption and SHA-2 algorithm for hashing. In addition, the TOE provides the cryptography to support Diffie-Hellman key exchange and derivation function used in the IKEv2 and ESP protocols. The cryptographic algorithm implementation has been validated for CAVP conformance. The TOE platform provides asymmetric cryptography, which is used by the TOE for IKE peer authentication using digital signature and hashing services. The TOE platform also provides a DRBG.
\r\nUser data protection: The TOE platform ensures that residual information from previously sent network packets processed through the platform are protected from being passed into subsequent network packets.
\r\nIdentification and authentication: The TOE and TOE platform perform device-level X.509 certificate-based authentication of the VPN Gateway during IKE v2 key exchange. Device-level authentication allows the TOE to establish a secure channel with a trusted VPN Gateway. The secure channel is established only after each endpoint successfully authenticates each other.
\r\nSecurity management: The TOE, TOE platform, and VPN Gateway provide the management functions to configure the security functionality provided by the TOE.
\r\nProtection of the TSF: The TOE performs a suite of self-tests during initial start-up to verify correct operation of its FIPS 140-2 validated algorithms. Upon execution, the integrity of the TOEs software executables is also verified. The TOE Platform provides for verification of TOE software updates prior installation.
\r\nTrusted path/channels: The TOE’s implementation of IPsec provides a trusted channel ensuring sensitive data is protected from unauthorized disclosure or modification when transmitted from the host to a VPN gateway.
