The Target of Evaluation (TOE) is the CommScope Technologies LLC, Ruckus FastIron ICX Series Switch/Router 10.0.10 family of products. While there are different models in the three series, they differ primarily in physical form factor, number and types of connections and slots, and relative performance. While there are some functional differences among the families, they each provide the same security characteristics.
","evaluation_configuration":"The evaluated configuration consists of the following series and models:
\r\n\r\n
The different series have differing CPUs as described below:
\r\n\r\n
The TOE utilizes the Firmware crypto library referred to as the RUCKUS-IP-CRYPTO-VER-6.0 running on these processors.
","security_evaluation_summary":"The 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, April 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, April 2017. The product, when delivered and configured as identified in the RUCKUS FastIron FIPS and Common Criteria Configuration Guide, 10.0.10, July 8, 2024 document, satisfies all the security functional requirements stated in the CommScope Technologies LLC, Ruckus FastIron ICX Series Switch/Router 10.0.10 with MACsec Security Target, Version 0.5, July 22, 2024. The project underwent CCEVS Validator review. The evaluation was completed in July 2024. Results of the evaluation can be found in the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme Validation Report (report number CCEVS-VR-VID11492-2024) prepared by CCEVS.
","environmental_strengths":"The logical boundaries of the CommScope Technologies LLC, Ruckus FastIron ICX Series Switch/Router 10.0.10 with MACsec are realized in the security functions that it implements. Each of these security functions is summarized below.
\r\n\r\n
Security audit:
\r\nThe TOE can 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 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 contains a CAVP-tested cryptographic module that provides key management, random bit generation, encryption/decryption, digital signature and secure hashing and key-hashing features in support of higher-level cryptographic protocols including MACsec, SSH and TLS. The TOE supports SHA1 message digest authentication for NTP servers.
\r\nIdentification and authentication:
\r\nThe TOE requires users to be identified and authenticated before they can use functions mediated by the TOE, except for passing network traffic in accordance with its configured switching/routing rules. It provides the ability to both assign attributes (usernames, passwords and privilege levels) 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 using privileges associated with roles that can be assigned to TOE users. Among the available privileges, only the Super User can manage the security policies provided by the TOE and the TOE offers a complete set of functions to facilitate effective management since the Super User allows for complete read-and-write access to the system.
\r\nProtection of the TSF:
\r\nThe TOE implements several features to protect itself to ensure the reliability and integrity of its security features.
\r\nIt protects sensitive data such as stored passwords and cryptographic keys so that they are not accessible even by an administrator. It also provides its own timing mechanism to ensure that reliable time information is available (e.g., for log accountability). The TOE can also be configured to work with an NTP server for reliable time.
\r\nThe TOE includes functions to perform self-tests so that it can detect when it is failing. It also includes mechanisms (i.e., verification of the digital signature of each new image) so that the TOE itself can be updated while ensuring that the updates will not introduce malicious or other unexpected changes in the TOE.
\r\nTOE access:
\r\nThe TOE can be configured to display a message of the day banner when an administrator establishes an interactive session and subsequently will enforce an administrator-defined inactivity timeout value after which the inactive session (local or remote) will be terminated.
\r\nTrusted path/channels:
\r\nThe TOE protects interactive communication with administrators using SSH for CLI access to ensure both integrity and disclosure protection. 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 and authentication server, using TLS or MACsec connections to prevent unintended disclosure or modification.
