The Encryption Plus® Hard Disk Version 7.0 software package is a hard disk encryption system that encrypts entire disks or partitions at the disk driver level so that normal applications can use the Encryption Plus® Hard Disk confidentiality services transparently. Encryption Plus® Hard Disk includes features for site installation, administration, and recovery from lost passwords.
\r\nEncryption Plus® Hard Disk is available for the Windows XP, 2000, and NT versions of the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems.
","evaluation_configuration":null,"security_evaluation_summary":"The evaluation was carried out in accordance with the CygnaCom Solutions Common Criteria Testing Laboratory processes and procedures that are compliant with the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS). The evaluation demonstrated that the encryption and decryption functions of Encryption Plus® Hard Disk met the security requirements contained in the Security Target. The criteria against which the Encryption Plus® Hard Disk was judged are described in the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 2.1 Part II and Part III. The evaluation team conducted the evaluation using the Common Methodology for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 1.0.
\r\nFor this evaluation, it was appropriate for the Security Target to claim compliance with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode for the definition of the encryption algorithm. There are many ways of determining compliance with a standard. PC Guardian has chosen to make a developer claim of compliance. This means that there has been no independent verification (by either the evaluators or a third party standards body, such as a FIPS laboratory) that the implementation of the cryptographic algorithms actually meets the claimed standards. Potential users of this product should confirm that the cryptographic capabilities are suitable to meet the user's requirements.
\r\nCygnaCom Solutions determined that the evaluation assurance level (EAL) for the product is EAL 1. The product, configured as outlined in the Administrator and User Guidance, satisfies all of the security functional requirements stated in the Security Target. A validator, on behalf of the CCEVS Validation Body, monitored the evaluation carried out by CygnaCom Solutions. The evaluation was completed in March 2003. Results of the evaluation can be found in the Validation Report prepared by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) CCEVS-VR-03-0037.
","environmental_strengths":"The evaluation of PC Guardian Encryption Plus® Hard Disk Version 7.0 provides a basic level of independently assured security in a conventional TOE and is suitable for the environment specification in this ST. The assurance requirements were chosen to be consistent with this goal.
