5.5.2 Security Assurance Requirements Rationale 
This  Security  Target  claims  conformance  to  EAL2  Augmented  with  ALC_DVS.1  and 
ALC_FLR.2. This target was chosen to ensure that the TOE has a low to moderate level 
of  assurance  in  enforcing  its  security  functions  when  instantiated  in  its  intended 
environment which imposes no restrictions on assumed activity on applicable networks. 
Augmentation  was  chosen  to  demonstrate  the  security  measures  followed  at  the 
developments  sites  and  to  address  having  flaw  remediation  procedures  and  correcting 
security flaws as they are reported and to ensure that TOE users are aware of the 
corrections and the fixes. 
5.6  Assurance Measures 
The  TOE satisfies  the identified assurance  requirements.  This section identifies  the 
Assurance Measures applied by Cisco to  satisfy the assurance requirements.  The table 
below lists the details. 
Table 13: Assurance Measures 
Component  How requirement will be met 
ADV_ARC.1  The architecture description provides the justification how the security functional requirements 
are enforced, how the security features (functions) cannot be bypassed, and how the TOE 
protects itself from tampering by untrusted active entities. The architecture description also 
identifies the system initialization components and the processing that occurs when the TOE is 
brought into a secure state (e.g. transition form a down state to the initial secure state 
(operational)).
