ConSeal Private Desktop firewall (CPD) version 1.4 for Windows 95/98, from Signal 9 Solutions Canada Inc., is the Target of Evaluation (TOE) for this EAL 1 evaluation. CPD provides distributed host-based network access control and audit security functionality at the level of the personal computer (PC) desktop.

The Common Criteria Evaluation Facility (CCEF) conducting the evaluation was EWA-Canada, Ltd. Evaluation work took place over an eleven-week period from 1 Feb 1999 to 16 April 1999.

The evaluation of CPD has determined that the TOE can be trusted, to a level of assurance of EAL 1, to conform to the requirements of the Security Target (ST). The TOE is CC Part 2 conformant (functional requirements from CC Part 2 only) and CC Part 3 conformant (assurance requirements from CC Part 3 only).

The evaluated configuration for CPD is a PC running the Microsoft Windows 98 operating system, including all of the standard suites of office and network software applications usually found on this platform. No special or unusual restrictions about the operating environment apply.

The evaluation was carried out in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme (the Canadian CCS). The Canadian CCS has established a Certification Body that is managed by the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC). The evaluation was performed using the Common Criteria (CC), applied using the Common Methodology for Information Technology Security Evaluation (CEM).

The scope of the evaluation is defined by the ST, which identifies assumptions made during the evaluation, the IT product's intended environment, its security requirements, and the level of confidence (evaluation assurance level) to which it is asserted that the product satisfies its security requirements. Consumers of CPD are advised to verify that their own environment is consistent with the ST, and to give due consideration to the comments, observations and recommendations stated in this report.
