Vectra Networks Cryptographic Module 1 Introduction 1.1 About FIPS 140 Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-2 -- Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules specifies requirements for cryptographic modules to be deployed in a Sensitive but Unclassified environment. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) run the FIPS 140-2 program. The NVLAP accredits independent testing labs to perform FIPS 140 testing; the CMVP validates modules meeting FIPS 140-2 validation. Validated is the term given to a module that is documented and tested against the FIPS 140-2 criteria. More information is available on the CMVP website at http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/index.html. 1.2 About this Document This non-proprietary Cryptographic Module Security Policy for the Cryptographic Module from Vectra Networks provides an overview of the product and a high-level description of how it meets the security requirements of FIPS 140-2. This document contains details on the module's cryptographic keys and critical security parameters. This Security Policy concludes with instructions and guidance on running the module in a FIPS 140-2 mode of operation. Vectra Networks Cryptographic Module may also be referred to as the "module" in this document. 1.3 External Resources The Vectra Networks website (www.vectranetworks.com) contains information on Vectra Networks services and products.

The module's logical cryptographic boundary is the shared library files and their integrity check HMAC files. The module is a multi-chip standalone embodiment installed on a General Purpose Device. All operations of the module occur via calls from host applications and their respective internal daemons/processes. As such there are no untrusted services calling the services of the module. 2.1.1 Validation Level Detail The following table lists the level of validation for each area in FIPS 140-2: FIPS 140-2 Section Title Validation Level Cryptographic Module Specification 1 Cryptographic Module Ports and Interfaces 1 Roles, Services, and Authentication 1 Finite State Model 1 Physical Security N/A Operational Environment 1 Cryptographic Key Management 1 Electromagnetic Interference / Electromagnetic Compatibility 1 Self-Tests 1 Design Assurance 1 Mitigation of Other Attacks N/A Table 2 ­ Validation Level by FIPS 140-2 Section 2.1.2 Approved Cryptographic Algorithms The module's cryptographic algorithm implementations have received the following certificate numbers from the Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program: Document Version 1.0 © Vectra Networks Page 6 of 18 FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy: Vectra Networks Cryptographic Module Algorithm CAVP Certificate AES 2273 HMAC-SHA-1, HMAC-SHA-224, HMAC-SHA-256, HMAC- SHA-384, HMAC-SHA-512 1391 DSA, DSA 2 709 FIPS 186-2 PQG Ver: Sig Ver: 1024-bit F186-4 PQG Gen: 2048 & 3072 (using SHA-2) PQG Ver: 1024, 2048 & 3072 (using SHA-1 and SHA-2) Key Pair: 2048-bit & 3072-bit Sig Gen: 2048-bit & 3072-bit (using SHA-2) Sig Ver: 1024-bit. 2048-bit & 3072-bit (using SHA-1 & SHA-2) ECDSA, ECDSA2 368 FIPS 186-2 PKG: Curves (P-224, P-256, P-384, P-521, K-233, K-283, K-409, K-571, B-233, B-409 & B-571) PKV: Curves All P, K & B FIPS 186-4 PKG: Curves (P-224, P-256, P-384, P-521, K-233, K-283, K-409, K-571, B-283, B-409 & B-571) PKV: Curves All P, K & B Sig Gen: (P-224, P-256, P-384, P-521, K-233, K-283, K-409, K-571, B-283, B-409 & B- 571) (SHA-2) Sig Ver: Curves P-192, P224, P-256, P-384, P-521, K-163, K-233, K-283, B-163, B- 233, B-283, B-409 & B-571 (any SHA size) K-409 & K-571 (SHA-1) Document Version 1.0 © Vectra Networks Page 7 of 18 FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy: Vectra Networks Cryptographic Module RSA (X9.31, PKCS #1.5, PSS) 1166 FIPS 186-2 ANSIX9.31 Key Gen: 2048-bit, 3072-bit & 4096-bit Sig Gen: 2048-bit, 3072-bit & 4096 bit (any SHA size) Sig Ver: 1024-bit, 1536-bit, 2048-bit, 3072-bit & 4096-bit (any SHA size) PKCS1 V1 5 Sig Gen: 2048-bit, 3072-bit & 4096-bit (any SHA size) Sig Ver: 1024-bit, 1536-bit, 2048-bit, 3072-bit & 4096-bit (any SHA size) PSS Sig Gen: 2048-bit, 3072-bit & 4096-bit (any SHA size) Sig Ver: 1024-bit, 1536-bit, 2048-bit, 3072-bit & 4096-bit (any SHA size) FIPS 186-4 ANSIX9.31 Sig Gen: 2048-bit (using SHA-2) Sig Ver: 1024-bit, 2048-bit, & 3072-bit (any SHA size) PKCS1 V1 5 Sig Gen: 2048-bit & 3072-bit (using SHA-2) Sig Ver: 1024-bit, 2048-bit, & 3072-bit (any SHA size) PSS Sig Gen: 2048-bit & 3072-bit (using SHA-2) Sig Ver: 1024-bit, 2048-bit, & 3072-bit (any SHA size) SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 1954 Triple-DES 1420 Note: the use of two-key Triple DES for encryption is restricted through December 31st, 2015: the total number of blocks of data encrypted with the same cryptographic key shall not be greater than 2^20.

When operational, the module does not transmit any information across these physical ports because it is a software cryptographic module. Therefore, the module's interfaces are purely logical and are provided through the Application Programming Interface Document Version 1.0 © Vectra Networks Page 10 of 18 FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy: Vectra Networks Cryptographic Module (API) that a calling daemon can operate. The logical interfaces expose services that applications directly call, and the API provides functions that may be called by a referencing application (see Section 2.3 ­ Roles, Services, and Authentication for the list of available functions). The module distinguishes between logical interfaces by logically separating the information according to the defined API. The API provided by the module is mapped onto the FIPS 140- 2 logical interfaces: data input, data output, control input, and status output. Each of the FIPS 140- 2 logical interfaces relates to the module's callable interface, as follows: FIPS 140-2 Interface Logical Interface Module Physical Interface Data Input Input parameters of API function Network Interface calls Data Output Output parameters of API function Network Interface calls Control Input API function calls Keyboard Interface, Mouse Interface Status Output For FIPS mode, function calls Display Controller returning status information and return codes provided by API function calls. Power None Power Supply Table 4 ­ Logical Interface / Physical Interface Mapping As shown in Figure 1 ­ Module Boundary and Interfaces Diagram and Table 5 ­ Module Services, Roles, and Descriptions, the output data path is provided by the data interfaces and is logically disconnected from processes performing key generation or zeroization. No key information will be output through the data output interface when the module zeroizes keys. 2.3 Roles, Services, and Authentication The module supports a Crypto Officer and a User role. The module does not support a Maintenance role. The User and Crypto-Officer roles are implicitly assumed by the entity accessing services implemented by the Module. 2.3.1 Operator Services and Descriptions The module supports services that are available to users in the various roles. All of the services are described in detail in the module's user documentation. The following table shows the services available to the various roles and the access to cryptographic keys and CSPs resulting from services: Document Version 1.0 © Vectra Networks Page 11 of 18 FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy: Vectra Networks Cryptographic Module Service Roles CSP / Algorithm Permission Module initialization Crypto None CO: Officer execute Symmetric User AES Key, Triple-DES1 Key User: encryption/decryption read/write/execute Digital signature2* User RSA Private Key, DSA Private Key User: read/write/execute Symmetric key User AES Key, Triple-DES Key User: generation read/write/execute Asymmetric key User RSA Private Key, DSA Private Key User: generation read/write/execute Keyed Hash (HMAC)* User HMAC Key User: HMAC SHA-1, HMAC SHA- 224, HMAC SHA- read/write/execute 256, HMAC SHA-384, HMAC SHA-512 Message digest (SHS) User SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA- User: 512 read/write/execute Random number User PRNG Seed and Seed Key User: generation read/write/execute Show status Crypto None User and CO: Officer execute User Self test User All CSPs User: read/execute Zeroize Crypto All CSPs CO: Officer read/write/execute User Table 5 ­ Module Services, Roles, and Descriptions 2.3.2 Operator Authentication As required by FIPS 140-2, there are two roles (a Crypto Officer role and User role) in the module that operators may assume. As allowed by Level 1, the module does not support authentication to access services. As such, there are no applicable authentication policies. Access control policies are implicitly defined by the services available to the roles as specified in Table 5 ­ Module Services, Roles, and Descriptions. 2.4 Physical Security This section of requirements does not apply to this module. The module is a software-only module and does not implement any physical security mechanisms. 1 Two-key Triple-DES is restricted and only available for legacy use in accordance with SP800-131A. 2 Note that per SP800-131A, issuing 1024-bit signatures with SHA-1 is disallowed as of the end of 2013. * Indicates non-Approved services if non-Approved key sizes are utilized (<112 bits) Document Version 1.0 © Vectra Networks Page 12 of 18 FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy: Vectra Networks Cryptographic Module 2.5 Operational Environment The module operates on a general purpose computer (GPC) running a general purpose operating system (GPOS). For FIPS purposes, the module is running on this operating system in single user mode and does not require any additional configuration to meet the FIPS requirements. The module was tested on the following platforms: · Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 on a Dell Optiplex 755 · CentOS 6.3 on a Dell Optiplex 755 · SUSE Linux Enterprise 11SP2 on a Dell Optiplex 755 The cryptographic module is also supported on the following operating environments for which operational testing and algorithm testing was not performed: · Ubuntu 14.04 Compliance is maintained for other versions of the respective operating system family where the binary is unchanged. No claim can be made as to the correct operation of the module or the security strengths of the generated keys when ported to an operational environment which is not listed on the validation certificate. The GPC(s) used during testing met Federal Communications Commission (FCC) FCC Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements for business use as defined by 47 Code of Federal Regulations, Part15, Subpart B. FIPS 140-2 validation compliance is maintained when the module is operated on other versions of the GPOS running in single user mode, assuming that the requirements outlined in NIST IG G.5 are met. 2.6 Cryptographic Key Management The table below provides a complete list of Critical Security Parameters used within the module: Storage Storage Output Keys and CSPs Input Method Zeroization Access Locations Method Method AES Key RAM Plaintext API call parameter None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD Triple-DES Key RAM Plaintext API call parameter None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD RSA Public Key RAM Plaintext API call parameter None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD RSA Private Key* RAM Plaintext API call parameter None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD DSA Public Key RAM Plaintext API call parameter None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD Document Version 1.0 © Vectra Networks Page 13 of 18 FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy: Vectra Networks Cryptographic Module Storage Storage Output Keys and CSPs Input Method Zeroization Access Locations Method Method DSA Private Key* RAM Plaintext API call parameter None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD HMAC Key* RAM Plaintext API call parameter None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD PRNG Seed RAM Plaintext API call parameter None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD PRNG Seed Key RAM Plaintext API call parameter None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD Integrity Key Module Plaintext None None None CO: RWD Binary U: RWD EC DSA Private Key RAM Plaintext None None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD EC DSA Public Key RAM Plaintext None None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD EC DH Public RAM Plaintext None None power cycle CO: RWD Components cleanse() U: RWD EC DH Private RAM Plaintext None None power cycle CO: RWD Components cleanse() U: RWD EC DRBG Entropy RAM Plaintext None None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD EC DRBG S Value RAM Plaintext None None power cycle CO: RWD (Seed Length) cleanse() U: RWD EC DRBG init_seed RAM Plaintext None None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD HMAC DRBG RAM Plaintext None None power cycle CO: RWD Entropy cleanse() U: RWD HMAC DRBG V RAM Plaintext None None power cycle CO: RWD Value (Seed cleanse() U: RWD Length) HMAC DRBG Key RAM Plaintext None None power cycle CO: RWD cleanse() U: RWD HMAC DRBG RAM Plaintext None None power cycle CO: RWD init_seed cleanse() U: RWD R = Read W = Write D = Delete * Indicates non-Approved services if non-Approved key sizes are utilized (<112 bits) Table 6 ­ Module Keys/CSPs The application that uses the module is responsible for appropriate destruction and zeroization of the key material. The module provides functions for key allocation and destruction which overwrite the memory that is occupied by the key information with zeros before it is deallocated. 2.6.1 Random Number Generation The module uses ANSI X9.31 and DRBG for creation of asymmetric and symmetric keys. Document Version 1.0 © Vectra Networks Page 14 of 18 FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy: Vectra Networks Cryptographic Module The module accepts input from entropy sources external to the cryptographic boundary for use as seed material for the module's Approved RNGs. This external entropy source provides an estimated minimum amount of 93 bits of entropy, which limits the strength of the generated key. The module performs continual tests on the random numbers it uses to ensure that the seed and seed key input to the Approved RNG do not have the same value. The module also performs continual tests on the output of the approved RNG to ensure that consecutive random numbers do not repeat. 2.6.2 Key/Critical Security Parameter (CSP) Authorized Access and Use by Role and Service/Function An authorized application as user (the User role) has access to all key data generated during the operation of the module. 2.6.3 Key/CSP Storage Public and private keys are provided to the module by the calling process and are destroyed when released by the appropriate API function calls or during power cycle. The module does not perform persistent storage of keys. 2.6.4 Key/CSP Zeroization The application is responsible for calling the appropriate destruction functions from the API. The destruction functions then overwrite the memory occupied by keys with zeros and deallocates the memory. This occurs during process termination / power cycle. Keys are immediately zeroized upon deallocation, which sufficiently protects the CSPs from compromise. 2.7 Self-Tests FIPS 140-2 requires that the module perform self-tests to ensure the integrity of the module and the correctness of the cryptographic functionality at start up. In addition some functions require continuous verification of function, such as the random number generator. All of these tests are listed and described in this section. In the event of a self-test error, the module will log the error and will halt. The module must be initialized into memory to resume function. The following sections discuss the module's self-tests in more detail. 2.7.1 Power-On Self-Tests Power-on self-tests are executed automatically when the module is loaded into memory. The module verifies the integrity of the runtime executable using a HMAC-SHA1 digest computed at build time. If the fingerprints match, the power-up self-tests are then performed. If the power-up self-test is successful, a flag is set to place the module in FIPS mode.

If the power-up self-tests fail, subsequent calls to the module will also fail - thus no further cryptographic operations are possible. 2.7.2 Conditional Self-Tests The module implements the following conditional self-tests upon key generation, or random number generation (respectively): 3 Note that all SHA-X KATs are tested as part of the respective HMAC SHA-X KAT. SHA-1 is also tested independently. Document Version 1.0 © Vectra Networks Page 16 of 18 FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy: Vectra Networks Cryptographic Module TYPE DETAIL Pair-wise Consistency Tests · DSA · RSA · ECDSA Continuous RNG Tests · Performed on all approved PRNGs Table 8 ­ Conditional Self-Tests 2.7.3 Cryptographic Function The module verifies the integrity of the runtime executable using a HMAC-SHA1 digest which is computed at build time. If this computed HMAC-SHA1 digest matches the stored, known digest, then the power-up self-test (consisting of the algorithm-specific Pairwise Consistency and Known Answer tests) is performed. If any component of the power-up self-test fails, an internal global error flag is set to prevent subsequent invocation of any cryptographic function calls. Any such power-up self-test failure is a hard error that can only be recovered by reinstalling the module4. The power-up self-tests may be performed at any time by reloading the module. No operator intervention is required during the running of the self-tests. 2.8 Mitigation of Other Attacks The Module does not contain additional security mechanisms beyond the requirements for FIPS 140-2 Level 1 cryptographic modules. 4 The initialization function could be re-invoked but such re-invocation does not provide a means from recovering from an integrity test or known answer test failure Document Version 1.0 © Vectra Networks Page 17 of 18 FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy: Vectra Networks Cryptographic Module 3 Guidance and Secure Operation 3.1 Crypto Officer Guidance 3.1.1 Software Installation The module is provided directly to solution developers and is not available for direct download to the general public. The module and its host application are to be installed on an operating system specified in Section 2.5 or one where portability is maintained. 3.1.2 Additional Rules of Operation 1. The writable memory areas of the module (data and stack segments) are accessible only by the application so that the operating system is in "single user" mode, i.e. only the application has access to that instance of the module. 2. The operating system is responsible for multitasking operations so that other processes cannot access the address space of the process containing the module. 3.2 User Guidance 3.2.1 General Guidance The module is not distributed as a standalone library and is only used in conjunction with the solution. The end user of the operating system is also responsible for zeroizing CSPs via wipe/secure delete procedures. If the module power is lost and restored, the calling application can reset the IV to the last value used. Document Version 1.0 © Vectra Networks Page 18 of 18
