The cryptographic boundary is defined as encompassing the "top," "front," "left," "right," and "bottom" surfaces of the case; all portions of the "backplane" of the case which are not designed to accommodate a WIC or Network Cisco 2691 and 3725 Modular Access Routers with AIM-VPN/EP II and Cisco 3745 Modular Access Router with AIM-VPN/HP II FIPS 140-2 OL-6084-01 3 The Cisco 2691, 3725 and 3745 Routers Module; and the inverse of the three-dimensional space within the case that would be occupied by an installed WIC or Network Module. The cryptographic boundary includes the connection apparatus between the WIC or Network Module and the motherboard/daughterboard that hosts the WIC or Network Module, but the boundary does not include the WIC or Network Module itself. In other words, the cryptographic boundary encompasses all hardware components within the case of the device except any installed modular WICs or Network Modules. All of the functionality discussed in this document is provided by components within this cryptographic boundary. The 2691 and 3725 routers incorporate the AIM-VPN/EP II cryptographic accelerator card. The AIM-VPN/EP II is located inside the module chassis, and is installed directly on the motherboard. The 3745 router incorporates the AIM-VPN/HP II cryptographic accelerator card. The AIM-VPN/HP II is located inside the module chassis, and is installed directly on the motherboard. Cisco IOS features such as tunneling, data encryption, and termination of Remote Access WANs via IPSec, Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F) and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocols (L2TP) make the Cisco 2600 Series and 3700 Series ideal platforms for building virtual private networks or outsourced dial solutions. The RISC-based processors of these routers provide the power needed for the dynamic requirements of the remote branch office, achieving wire speed Ethernet to Ethernet routing with up to 70 thousand packets per second (Kpps) throughput capacity for the 2691, 100 Kpps throughput capacity for the 3725, and 225 Kpps for the 3745.

LAN support includes single and dual Ethernet options; 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing Ethernet; mixed Token-Ring and Ethernet; and single Token Ring chassis versions. WAN interface cards support a variety of serial, ISDN BRI, and integrated CSU/DSU options for primary and backup WAN connectivity, while available Network Modules support multi-service voice/data/fax integration, departmental dial Cisco 2691 and 3725 Modular Access Routers with AIM-VPN/EP II and Cisco 3745 Modular Access Router with AIM-VPN/HP II FIPS 140-2 OL-6084-01 5 The Cisco 2691, 3725 and 3745 Routers concentration, and high-density serial options. The AIM slot supports integration of advanced services such as hardware-assisted data compression and encryption. All routers include an auxiliary port supporting 115Kbps Dial-On-Demand Routing, ideal for back-up WAN connectivity. When a Network Module is inserted, it fits into an adapter called the Network Module expansion bus. The expansion bus interacts with the PCI bridge in the same way that the fixed LAN ports do; therefore, no critical security parameters pass through the Network Module (just as they don't pass through the LAN ports). Network modules do not perform any cryptographic functions. WICs are similar to Network Modules in that they greatly increase the router's flexibility. A WIC is inserted into one of two slots, which are located above the fixed LAN ports. WICs interface directly with the processor. They do not interface with the cryptographic card; therefore no security parameters will pass through them. WICs cannot perform cryptographic functions; they only serve as a data input and data output physical interface. The physical interfaces include a power plug for the power supply and a power switch. The router has two Fast Ethernet (10/100 RJ-45) connectors for data transfers in and out. The module also has two other RJ-45 connectors on the back panel for a console terminal for local system access and an auxiliary port for remote system access or dial backup using a modem. The 10/100Base-T LAN ports have Link/Activity, 10/100Mbps, and half/full duplex LEDs.

These networks cards have many embodiments, including multiple Ethernet, token ring, and modem cards to handle frame relay, ATM, and ISDN connections. Roles and Services Authentication is role-based. There are two main roles in the router that operators may assume: the Crypto Officer role and the User role. The administrator of the router assumes the Crypto Officer role in order to configure and maintain the router using Crypto Officer services, while the Users exercise only the basic User services. Both roles are authenticated by providing a valid username and password. The configuration of the encryption and decryption functionality is performed only by the Crypto Officer after authentication to the Crypto Officer role by providing a valid Crypto Officer username and password. Once the Crypto Officer has configured the encryption and decryption functionality, the User can use this functionality after authentication to the User role by providing a valid User username and password. The Crypto Officer can also use the encryption and decryption functionality after authentication to the Crypto Officer role. The module supports RADIUS and TACACS+ for Cisco 2691 and 3725 Modular Access Routers with AIM-VPN/EP II and Cisco 3745 Modular Access Router with AIM-VPN/HP II FIPS 140-2 12 OL-6084-01 The Cisco 2691, 3725 and 3745 Routers authentication, and they are used in the FIPS mode of operation. A complete description of all the management and configuration capabilities of the routers can be found in the Performing Basic System Management manual and in the online help for the routers. The User and Crypto Officer passwords and the RADIUS/TACACS+ shared secrets must each be at least 8 alphanumeric characters in length. See the "Secure Operation of the Cisco 2691, 3725, and 3745 Routers" section on page 25 for more information. If only integers 0-9 are used without repetition for an 8 digit PIN, the probability of randomly guessing the correct sequence is 1 in 1,814,400. Including the rest of the alphanumeric characters drastically decreases the odds of guessing the correct sequence. Crypto Officer Services During initial configuration of the router, the Crypto Officer password (the "enable" password) is defined. A Crypto Officer may assign permission to access the Crypto Officer role to additional accounts, thereby creating additional Crypto Officers. The Crypto Officer role is responsible for the configuration and maintenance of the router. The Crypto Officer services consist of the following: · Configure the router--define network interfaces and settings, create command aliases, set the protocols the router will support, enable interfaces and network services, set system date and time, and load authentication information. · Define Rules and Filters--create packet Filters that are applied to User data streams on each interface. Each Filter consists of a set of Rules, which define a set of packets to permit or deny based characteristics such as protocol ID, addresses, ports, TCP connection establishment, or packet direction. · Status Functions--view the router configuration, routing tables, active sessions, use Gets to view SNMP MIB II statistics, health, temperature, memory status, voltage, packet statistics, review accounting logs, and view physical interface status · Manage the router--log off users, shutdown or reload the outer, manually back up router configurations, view complete configurations, manager user rights, and restore router configurations. · Set Encryption/Bypass--set up the configuration tables for IP tunneling. Set keys and algorithms to be used for each IP range or allow plaintext packets to be set from specified IP address. · Change Network Modules--insert and remove modules in the Network Module slot as described in the "Initial Setup" section of this document. · Change WAN Interface Cards--insert and remove WICs in the WAN interface slot as described in the "Initial Setup" section of this document. User Services A User enters the system by accessing the console port with a terminal program. The IOS prompts the User for their password. If the password is correct, the User is allowed entry to the IOS executive program. The services available to the User role consist of the following: · Status Functions--view state of interfaces, state of layer 2 protocols, version of IOS currently running · Network Functions--connect to other network devices through outgoing telnet, PPP, etc. and initiate diagnostic network services (i.e., ping, mtrace) Cisco 2691 and 3725 Modular Access Routers with AIM-VPN/EP II and Cisco 3745 Modular Access Router with AIM-VPN/HP II FIPS 140-2 OL-6084-01 13 The Cisco 2691, 3725 and 3745 Routers · Terminal Functions--adjust the terminal session (e.g., lock the terminal, adjust flow control) · Directory Services--display directory of files kept in flash memory Physical Security The router is entirely encased by a thick steel chassis. The rear of the unit provides Network Module slots, 3 WIC slots, on-board LAN connectors, Console/Auxiliary connectors, Compact Flash slot, the power cable connection and a power switch. The top portion of the chassis may be removed to allow access to the motherboard, memory, and expansion slots. Any NM or WIC slot, which is not populated with a NM or WIC, must be populated with an appropriate slot cover in order to operate in a FIPS compliant mode. The slot covers are included with each router, and additional covers may be ordered from Cisco. The same procedure mentioned below to apply tamper evidence labels for NMs and WICs must also be followed to apply tamper evidence labels for the slot covers. Once the router has been configured in to meet FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements, the router cannot be accessed without signs of tampering. To seal the system, apply serialized tamper-evidence labels as follows: To apply tamper-evidence labels to the Cisco 2691: Step 1 Clean the cover of any grease, dirt, or oil before applying the tamper evidence labels. Alcohol-based cleaning pads are recommended for this purpose. The temperature of the router should be above 10 C. Step 2 Place the first label on the router as shown in Figure 6. The tamper evidence label should be placed so that the one half of the tamper evidence label covers the enclosure and the other half covers the right side of the router. Any attempt to remove the enclosure will leave tamper evidence. Step 3 Place the second label on the router as shown in Figure 6. The tamper evidence label should be placed so that the one half of the tamper evidence label covers the enclosure and the other half covers the left side of the router. Any attempt to remove the enclosure will leave tamper evidence. Step 4 Place the third label on the router as shown in Figure 6. The tamper evidence label should be placed so that the one half of the label covers the enclosure and the other half covers the Network Module slot. Any attempt to remove a Network Module will leave tamper evidence. Step 5 Place the fourth label on the router as shown in Figure 6. The tamper evidence label should be placed so that the half of the label covers the enclosure and the other half covers the left WAN interface card slot. Any attempt to remove a WAN interface card will leave tamper evidence. Step 6 Place the fifth label on the router as shown in Figure 6. The tamper evidence label should be placed so that one half of the label covers the enclosure and the other half covers the middle WAN interface card slot. Any attempt to remove a WAN interface card will leave tamper evidence. Step 7 Place the sixth label on the router as shown in Figure 6. The tamper evidence label should be placed so that one half of the label covers the enclosure and the other half covers the right WAN interface card slot. Any attempt to remove a WAN interface card will leave tamper evidence. Step 8 Place the seventh label on the router as shown in Figure 6. The tamper evidence label should be placed so that one half of the label covers the enclosure and the other half covers the Compact Flash slot. Any attempt to remove a CF card will leave tamper evidence. Step 9 The labels completely cure within five minutes.

Any attempt to open the router, remove Network Modules or WIC cards, or the front faceplate will damage the tamper evidence seals or the painted surface and metal of the module cover. Since the tamper evidence seals have non-repeated serial numbers, they may be inspected for damage and compared against the applied serial numbers to verify that the module has not been tampered. Tamper evidence seals can also be inspected for signs of tampering, which include the following: curled corners, bubbling, crinkling, rips, tears, and slices. The word "OPEN" may appear if the label was peeled back. Cryptographic Key Management The router securely administers both cryptographic keys and other critical security parameters such as passwords. The tamper evidence seals provide physical protection for all keys. All keys are also protected by the password-protection on the Crypto Officer role login, and can be zeroized by the Crypto Officer. Keys are exchanged manually and entered electronically via manual key exchange or Internet Key Exchange (IKE). The module contains a cryptographic accelerator card (the AIM-VPN/EP II for the 2691 and 3725, the AIM-VPN/HP II for the 3745), which provides AES (128-bit), DES (56-bit) (only for legacy systems), and 3DES (168-bit) IPSec encryption, MD5 and SHA-1 hashing, and has hardware support for DH.

This key is stored in DRAM DRAM and updated periodically after the generation of 400 bites; hence, (plaintext) it is zeroized periodically. Also, the operator can turn off the router to zeroize this key. 2 CSP 2 The private exponent used in Diffie-Hellman (DH) exchange. DRAM Zeroized after DH shared secret has been generated. (plaintext) 3 CSP 3 The shared secret within IKE exchange. Zeroized when IKE DRAM session is terminated. (plaintext) 4 CSP 4 Same as above DRAM (plaintext) 5 CSP 5 Same as above DRAM (plaintext) 6 CSP 6 Same as above DRAM (plaintext) 7 CSP 7 The IKE session encrypt key. The zeroization is the same as DRAM above. (plaintext) 8 CSP 8 The IKE session authentication key. The zeroization is the same DRAM as above. (plaintext) 9 CSP 9 The RSA private key. "crypto key zeroize" command zeroizes this NVRAM key. (plaintext) 10 CSP 10 The key used to generate IKE skeyid during preshared-key NVRAM authentication. "no crypto isakmp key" command zeroizes it. This (plaintext) key can have two forms based on whether the key is related to the hostname or the IP address. 11 CSP 11 This key generates keys 3, 4, 5 and 6. This key is zeroized after DRAM generating those keys. (plaintext) 12 CSP 12 The RSA public key used to validate signatures within IKE. These DRAM keys are expired either when CRL (certificate revocation list) (plaintext) expires or 5 secs after if no CRL exists. After above expiration happens and before a new public key structure is created this key is deleted. This key does not need to be zeroized because it is a public key; however, it is zeroized as mentioned here. 13 CSP 13 The fixed key used in Cisco vendor ID generation. This key is NVRAM embedded in the module binary image and can be deleted by (plaintext) erasing the Flash. 14 CSP 14 The IPSec encryption key. Zeroized when IPSec session is DRAM terminated.
