EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This document constitutes the Certification Report for the certification file of the
product:
The TOE includes the Windows 10 and Windows Server operating system, and
those applications necessary to manage, support and configure the operating
system. Windows 10 and Windows Server can be delivered preinstalled on a new
computer or downloaded from the Microsoft website.
Windows 10 and Windows Server can run on any physical or virtual computer which
is compatible with the x86 or x64 instruction set, such as processors from Intel or
AMD.
All the assurance components required by the evaluation level of the [GPOSPP]
have been assigned a “PASS” verdict. Consequently, the laboratory Epoche & Espri
S.L.U assigns the “PASS” VERDICT to the whole evaluation due all the evaluator

actions are satisfied for the [GPOSPP] assurance level packages, as defined by the
Common Criteria v3.1 R5, the [GPOSPP] and the CEM v3.1 R5.
Considering the obtained evidences during the instruction of the certification request
of the product Windows 10: build 10.0.16299 (also known as version 1709), a
positive resolution is proposed.
TOE SUMMARY
All Windows 10 and Windows Server editions, collectively called “Windows”, are
preemptive multitasking, multiprocessor, and multi-user operating systems. In
general, operating systems provide users with a convenient interface to manage
underlying hardware. They control the allocation and manage computing resources
such as processors, memory, and Input/Output (I/O) devices. Windows expands
these basic operating system capabilities to controlling the allocation and managing
higher level IT resources such as security principals (user or machine accounts),
files, printing objects, services, window station, desktops, cryptographic keys,
network ports traffic, directory objects, and web content. Multi-user operating
systems such as Windows keep track of which user is using which resource, grant
resource requests, account for resource usage, and mediate conflicting requests
from different programs and users.
The major security features implemented by the TOE and subject to evaluation (no
assurance can be supposed to any other functionality) to can be summarised as
follows:
Security Audit: Windows has the ability to collect audit data, review audit
logs, protect audit logs from overflow, and restrict access to audit logs. Audit
information generated by the system includes the date and time of the event,
the user identity that caused the event to be generated, and other event
specific data. Authorized administrators can review audit logs and have the
ability to search and sort audit records. Authorized Administrators can also
configure the audit system to include or exclude potentially auditable events to
be audited based on a wide range of characteristics. In the context of this
evaluation, the protection profile requirements cover generating audit events,
selecting which events should be audited, and providing secure storage for
audit event entries.
Cryptographic Support: Windows provides FIPS-140-2 CAVP validated
cryptographic functions that support encryption/decryption, cryptographic
signatures, cryptographic hashing, cryptographic key agreement, and random
number generation. The TOE additionally provides support for public keys,
credential management and certificate validation functions and provides
support for the National Security Agency’s Suite B cryptographic algorithms.
Windows also provides extensive auditing support of cryptographic
operations, the ability to replace cryptographic functions and random number
generators with alternative implementations, and a key isolation service

designed to limit the potential exposure of secret and private keys. In addition
to using cryptography for its own security functions, Windows offers access to
the cryptographic support functions for user-mode and kernel-mode
programs. Public key certificates generated and used by Windows
authenticate users and machines as well as protect both user and system
data in transit.
User Data Protection: In the context of this evaluation Windows protects
user data and provides virtual private networking capabilities.
Identification and Authentication: Each Windows user must be identified
and authenticated based on administrator-defined policy prior to performing
any TSF-mediated functions. An interactive user invokes a trusted path in
order to protect his I&A information. Windows maintains databases of
accounts including their identities, authentication information, group
associations, and privilege and logon rights associations. Windows account
policy functions include the ability to define the minimum password length, the
number of failed logon attempts, the duration of lockout, and password age.
Protection of the TOE Security Functions: Windows provides a number of
features to ensure the protection of TOE security functions. Windows
protects against unauthorized data disclosure and modification by using a
suite of Internet standard protocols including IPsec, IKE, and ISAKMP.
Windows ensures process isolation security for all processes through private
virtual address spaces, execution context, and security context. The
Windows data structures defining process address space, execution context,
memory protection, and security context are stored in protected kernel-mode
memory. Windows includes self-testing features that ensure the integrity of
executable program images and its cryptographic functions. Finally, Windows
provides a trusted update mechanism to update Windows binaries itself.
Session Locking: Windows provides the ability for a user to lock their
session either immediately or after a defined interval. Windows constantly
monitors the mouse, keyboard, and touch display for activity and locks the
computer after a set period of inactivity.
TOE Access: Windows allows an authorized administrator to configure the
system to display a logon banner before the logon dialog.
Trusted Path for Communications: Windows uses HTTPS, DTLS, and TLS
to provide a trusted path for communications.
Security Management: Windows includes several functions to manage
security policies. Policy management is controlled through a combination of
access control, membership in administrator groups, and privileges.

SECURITY POLICIES
There are no Organizational Security Policies defined for this evaluation as there are
not defined in the [GPOSPP].
In order to assure the secure use of the TOE, it is necessary to start from these
assumptions for its operational environment. If this is not possible and any of them
could not be assumed, it would not be possible to assure the secure operation of the
TOE.
Assumption Description
A.PLATFORM The OS relies upon a trustworthy computing platform for its
execution. This underlying platform is out of scope of this PP.
A.PROPER_USER The user of the OS is not willfully negligent or hostile, and uses the
software in compliance with the applied enterprise security policy. At
the same time, malicious software could act as the user, so
requirements which confine malicious subjects are still in scope.
A.PROPER_ADMIN The administrator of the OS is not careless, willfully negligent or
hostile, and administers the OS within compliance of the applied
enterprise security policy.
THREATS
The threats to the IT assets against which protection is required by the TOE or by
the security environment as defined in the [GPOSPP] and included in the [ST] are
listed below.
Threat Description
T.NETWORK_ATTACK An attacker is positioned on a communications channel or
elsewhere on the network infrastructure. Attackers may
engage in communications with applications and services
running on or part of the OS with the intent of
compromise. Engagement may consist of altering existing
legitimate communications.
