The TOE is the Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 6200, 6300, 6400, 8320, 8325, 8360, and 8400 Switch Series running Aruba OS-CX version 10.06. The TOE is a family of switches designed to support scalability, security and high performance for campus networks. For the purpose of evaluation, the TOE was treated as a network device offering CAVP tested cryptographic functions, security auditing, secure administration, trusted updates, self-tests, and secure connections to other servers (e.g., to transmit audit records).
","evaluation_configuration":"The evaluated configuration consists of the following devices running ArubaOS-CX version 10.06:
\r\nThe evaluation was carried out in accordance with 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 5, September 2017. 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 5, July 2017. The product, when delivered and configured as identified in the Common Criteria Admin Guide Network Device collaboration Protection Profile, Target of Evaluation: Aruba 6200, 6300, 6400, 8320, 8325, 8360, and 8400 Switch Series, Version 1.9, June 14, 2021 document, satisfies all of the security functional requirements stated in the Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 6200, 6300, 6400, 8320, 8325, 8360, and 8400 Switch Series Security Target, Version 0.5, 06/24/2021. The project underwent CCEVS Validator review. The evaluation was completed in June 2021. Results of the evaluation can be found in the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme Validation Report (report number CCEVS-VR-VID11195-2021) prepared by CCEVS.
","environmental_strengths":"The logical boundaries of the Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 6200, 6300, 6400, 8320, 8325, 8360, and 8400 Switch Series are realized in the security functions that it implements. Each of these security functions is summarized below.
\r\nSecurity audit:
\r\nThe TOE is able to generate logs for a wide range of security relevant events. The TOE can be configured to store the logs locally so they can be accessed by an administrator and also to send the logs to a designated log server using TLS to protect the logs while in transit on the network.
\r\nCryptographic support:
\r\nThe TOE provides CAVP certified cryptography in support of its SSHv2 and TLS v1.2 protocol implementations. Cryptographic services include key management, random bit generation, encryption/decryption, digital signature and secure hashing.
\r\nIdentification and authentication:
\r\nThe TOE requires users to be identified and authenticated before they can use functions mediated by the TOE, with the exception of passing network traffic in accordance with its configured switching rules and reading the login banner. It provides the ability to both assign attributes (user names, passwords and roles) and to authenticate users against these attributes.
\r\nSecurity management:
\r\nThe TOE provides Command Line Interface (CLI) commands to access the wide range of security management functions to manage its security policies. All administrative activity and functions including security management commands are limited to authorized users (i.e., administrators) only after they have provided acceptable user identification and authentication data to the TOE. The security management functions are controlled through the use of roles that can be assigned to TOE users. The TOE supports the following roles: Administrators, Operators. The Administrator role can make changes to the TOE configuration while the Operator role is a read-only role.
\r\nProtection of the TSF:
\r\nThe TOE implements a number of measures to protect the integrity of its security features. The TOE protects stored passwords and cryptographic keys so they are not directly accessible in plaintext. The TOE also ensures that reliable time information is available for both log accountability and synchronization with the operating environment by providing a hardware clock and the ability to synchronize with the network time server. The TOE employs both dedicated communication channels as well as cryptographic means to protect communication between itself and other components in the operation environment. The TOE performs self-tests to detect failure and protect itself from malicious updates.
\r\nTOE access:
\r\nThe TOE can be configured to display a logon banner before and after (a post-login banner) a user session is established. The TOE also enforces inactivity timeouts for local and remote sessions.
\r\nTrusted path/channels:
\r\nThe TOE protects interactive communication with administrators using SSH to protect the CLI interface, ensuring integrity and preventing disclosure. If the negotiation of an encrypted session fails or if the user does not have authorization for remote administration, an attempted connection will not be established.
\r\nThe TOE protects communication with network peers, such as a log server, using TLS connections to prevent unintended disclosure or modification of logs.
