Network Chemistry RFprotect™ Distributed v6.1.2, RFprotect™ Sensor v6.1.22, and RFprotect™ Mobile v6.1.2
Network Chemistry RFprotect™ Distributed v6.1.2, RFprotect™ Sensor v6.1.22, and RFprotect™ Mobile v6.1.2 (hereafter referred to as RFprotect™) was the subject of a Common Criteria evaluation performed by the Common Criteria Evaluation Facility at EWA-Canada, located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The evaluation was completed on 19 April 2007.
The evaluation of RFprotect™ determined that this Information Technology (IT) product can be trusted, to an assurance level of EAL 2, to conform to the requirements of the associated security target.
The RFprotect™ is a wireless intrusion detection system (IDS) coupled with intrusion prevention functionality. This system uses wireless network sensors to detect and respond to suspicious activity and to determine the impact of network attacks, based on collected forensic data. It analyzes the authorized wireless network, checking for and responding to identified vulnerabilities. Wireless intrusion prevention capabilities allow the RFprotect™ to prevent "rogue" wireless stations (including wireless access points, wireless network clients, and ad-hoc wireless devices) from operating within the range of the product, and to neutralize threats after identification of an attack by terminating an attacker's wireless session.
The evaluated configuration comprises three components which combine to form the two evaluated configurations (distributed and mobile). These three components are: RFprotect™ Sensor, RFprotect™ Server and RFprotect™ Client. These TOE components can be instantiated on separate inter-dependent devices to form the first TOE configuration (RFprotect™ Distributed), or they can be combined onto one device (typically a mobile laptop workstation and wireless network adapter providing sensor functionality) to form the second TOE configuration (called RFprotect™ Mobile). RFprotect™ Mobile can operate independently of or in conjunction with standalone Sensors, Servers, and Clients. The Installation and Security Guides contain instructions for installing these systems in the evaluated configuration.
The scope of this evaluation is defined by the security target, which identifies assumptions made during the evaluation, the intended environment for the RFprotectTM, the IT security requirements to be met, and the level of confidence (evaluation assurance level) to which it is asserted that the RFprotect™ satisfies its IT security requirements.
Consumers are advised to carefully review the certification report to gain an understanding of the security functionality, the evaluated configuration, and the intended operating environment for the RFprotect™.
