Understanding the Common Criteria Evaluated Configuration
This document describes the steps required to duplicate the configuration of the device running Junos OS when the device is evaluated. This is referred to as the evaluated configuration. The following list describes the standards to which the device has been evaluated:
-
Collaborative Protection Profile for Network Devices, NDcPPv2.2e—https://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/files/ppfiles/CPP_ND_V2.2E.pdf.
PP modules for NDcPP are as follows:
- MOD_FW_CPP v1.4e –https://www.niap-ccevs.org/MMO/PP/MOD_CPP_FW_v1.4e.pdf
- MOD_IPS_V1.0 –https://www.niap-ccevs.org/MMO/PP/MOD_IPS_v1.0.pdf
- VPNGW_MOD v1.2 – https://www.niap-ccevs.org/MMO/PP/MOD_VPNGW_v1.2.pdf
- Network Device Collaborative Protection Profile (NDcPPv2.2)/Stateful Traffic Filter Firewall Collaborative Protection Profile (FWcPP) Extended Package VPN Gateway, Version 2.2, 22 March 2020 (VPNEP)
- Collaborative Protection Profile for Stateful Traffic Filter Firewalls, version 2.0, 14 March 2018 (FWcPP)https://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/files/ppfiles/CPP_FW_V2.0E.pdf
-
Collaborative Protection Profile for Network Devices or Collaborative Protection Profile for Stateful Traffic Filter Firewalls Extended Package (EP) for Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), (IPSEP)
-
FIPS—https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips140-2/fips1402.pdf
These documents are available at https://www.niap-ccevs.org/Profile/PP.cfm.
On vSRX3.0, Junos OS Release 22.2R2 is certified for Common Criteria with FIPS mode enabled on the devices.
Understanding Common Criteria
Common Criteria for information technology is an international agreement signed by several countries that permits the evaluation of security products against a common set of standards. In the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA) at http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/ccra/, the participants agree to mutually recognize evaluations of products performed in other countries. All evaluations are performed using a common methodology for information technology security evaluation.
For more information on Common Criteria, see http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/.
Supported Platforms for vSRX Virtual Firewall
For the features described in this document, the following platforms are supported: • vSRX3.0 instances
The evaluated configuration for Common Criteria certification includes the following components:
- HP ProLiant DL380p Gen9 with Intel Xeon E5 with 3 to 8 NICs (at least as many as the number of configured virtual NICs (vNIC) in vSRX3.0)
- VMWare ESXi 7.0 Hypervisor
- Junos OS Release 22.2R2 for vSRX3.0 software installed as an ESXi Virtual Machine (VM)
- Pacstar 451 Model with 4 CPUs x Intel(R) Xeon(R) E-2254ML CPU @ 1.70GHz
No other VMs may be installed on the ESXi instance. Each vNIC in vSRX3.0 must be mapped to a different physical NIC in the appliance or ESXi.
For more information on vSRX deployment over ESXi, see vSRX Virtual Firewall Deployment Guide for Private and Public Cloud Platforms.
