PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

SunScreen EFS 3.0 Revision B Routing Mode is a packet filter and application proxy firewall that makes network based access control decisions. SunScreen consists of a rules-based, dynamic packet-filtering engine for network access control, and four application proxies: FTP, HTTP, SMTP and Telnet.

SunScreen EFS is administered through a graphical user interface via a secure Web browser connection. SKIP encryption is used to protect remote administration sessions.

SunScreen also offers high availability (HA) configurations. HA provides fault tolerance by maintaining multiple firewalls that are watching the same network traffic. If the active firewall has a hardware failure, a passive firewall can become the active firewall.

SunScreen EFS provides flexible logging of packets based upon configured parameters. Packets may be logged if they do or do not match a particular rule. For any given program component, the level of logging can be specified. The value of the log size and information to be recorded in the administrative log files is established during the setup of SunScreen EFS.

EVALUATION SUMMARY:

The security protection provided by the SunScreen EFS 3.0 Revision B Routing Mode Firewall, when configured according to the SunScreen EFS 3.0 Revision B Installation Guide has been evaluated by Arca Systems. The security features of the SunScreen EFS 3.0 Revision B Routing Mode Firewall have been examined against the Security Target (SunScreen EFS 3.0 Revision B Routing Mode Security Target). The evaluation was performed using the Common Criteria 2.1: ISO 15048 and the Common Evaluation Methodology 1.0.

The Arca Systems evaluation team has determined the SunScreen EFS 3.0 Revision B Routing Mode Firewall Security Target satisfies all the specified requirements of the CC ASE criteria.

The Arca Systems evaluation team has determined the SunScreen EFS 3.0 Revision B Routing Mode Firewall satisfies all the specified requirements of the criteria at EAL2. For a complete description of how the SunScreen EFS 3.0 Revision B Routing Mode Firewall satisfies each requirement of the Criteria, see SunScreen EFS 3.0 Revision B Routing Mode EVALUATION TECHNICAL REPORT Issue: Doc. Ref.: TTAP-FER-0013 -TOE Reference 24 July 2000.

A system that has been evaluated at Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 2 provides a low to moderate level of independently assured security. The security functions are analyzed using a functional specification, guidance documentation, and the high-level design of the TOE to understand the security behavior. The analysis is supported by independent testing of a subset of the TOE security functions, evidence of developer testing based on the functional specification, selective confirmation of the developer test results, analysis of strength of functions, and evidence of a developer search for obvious vulnerabilities. Further assurance is gained through a configuration list for the TOE and evidence of secure delivery procedures.

ENVIRONMENTAL STRENGTHS:

The SunScreen firewall acts as a boundary between an external and internal network. The firewall provides identification/authentication, network access policy, audit of firewall events, secure remote administration and high availability.
