Evaluation Results & Findings
Developer Testing Results
Evaluators analyzed the developer's test coverage and found them complete and satisfactory. The correspondence between tests identified in developer documentation and the functional specification was complete.
Independent Testing Results
The evaluation team simulated the developer's tests and successfully reproduced them at CCTL. They analyzed code snippets to ascertain erasure algorithm implementations meet requirements of standards. The product was found to comply with the Security Target.
Vulnerability & Penetration Testing
No vulnerabilities were found in the public domain. The application has no external interfaces with IP addresses or network-level access, and no vulnerabilities have ever been reported. Testing revealed the software contains no exploitable vulnerability for 'Basic Attack Potential.'
