MOD_VPNGW_v1.3

Issue Description

Ambiguity in MOD_VPNGW_V1.3 makes it appear that PPK use is required, while RFC 8784 only requires that is it configurable whether it is required or not.

Resolution

The Guidance Activity and Test for FIA_PSK_EXT.1 in MOD_VPNGW_V1.3-SD are updated as follows, with green-highlighted underlines indicating additions and red-highlighted strikethroughs indicating deletions:

 

Guidance

The evaluator shall examine the operational guidance to determine that it provides guidance to administrators on how to configure all selected pre-shared key options if any configuration is required.

The evaluator shall examine the operational guidance to determine that it provides guidance to administrators on how to configure the mandatory_or_not flag per RFC 8784.

Tests

The evaluator shall also perform the following tests for each protocol (or instantiation of a protocol, if performed by a different implementation on the TOE).

  • Test FIA_PSK_EXT.1:1: For each mechanism selected in FIA_PSK_EXT.1.2 the evaluator shall attempt to establish a connection and confirm that the connection requires the selected factors in the PSK to establish the connection in alignment with table 1 from RFC 8784.
Justification

See Issue Description.
