Readers are reminded that the certification of this product (TOE) is the result of maintenance, rather than an actual re-evaluation of the product.  Maintenance only considers the affect of TOE changes on the assurance baseline (i.e. the original evaluated TOE); maintenance is not intended to provide assurance in regard to the resistance of the TOE to new vulnerabilities or attack methods discovered since the date of the initial certificate.  Such assurance can only be gained through re-evaluation. 

Using a security impact analysis of the changes made to the TOE, which was provided by the developer, the CCEVS has determined that the impact of changes on the TOE are considered minor and that independent evaluator analysis was not necessary.  A summary of the results can be found in the Maintenance Report, which is written in relation to the product's original validation report and Security Target.  Readers are therefore reminded to read the Security Target, Validation Report, and the Assurance Maintenance Report to fully understand the meaning of what a maintained certificate represents. 

Product Description

There were 30 non-security relevant changes for FW version SDM1 and 130 changes for FW version 0204, of these only 2 were security relevant. Both updated FW versions are based on existing certified firmware versions. The assurance impact of these changes is minor and even though there are 2 security-relevant changes included in this update, they are minor and do not require a new certification. There were no changes to the Development Environment, or to the Security Functions. The following is an accounting of the firmware changes, by updated FW version, divided into the sub-categories as shown in the table. Detailed information regarding each of the firmware changes is provided in the IAR (Impact Analysis Report).
