Issue Description
FAU_WID_EXT.3, Test 1 requires usage of an RF Jammer to create a DoS, however, Federal Law prohibits the operation, marketing, or sale of any tipe of jamming equipment, including devices that interfere with cellular and Personal Communication Services (PCS), police radar, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and wireless networking services (Wi-Fi). Resolution
There are other requirements checking for traffic based denial of service attacks and therefore the Test for RF-based DoS is removed. The Assurance Activities for FAU_WID_EXT.3.1 are modified as follows: TSS The evaluator shall examine the TSS to verify that it describes the denial of service attacks that can be detected by the TOE. Guidance If the ability of the TOE to detect different types of denial of service attacks is configurable, the evaluator shall verify that the operational guidance provides instructions on how to specify the attack(s) that are detected. Tests Traffic injection based DoS
