This PP-Configuration was developed by the Biometrics Security international Technical Community (BIO-iTC) with representatives from industry, Government agencies, Common Criteria Test Laboratories, and members of academia.

1. Introduction

The purpose of a PP-Configuration is to define a Target of Evaluation (TOE) that combines Protection Profiles (PPs) and PP-Modules for various technology types into a single configuration that can be evaluated as a whole. The scope includes the definition of the configuration of a mobile device (a computer in the terms of the PP-Module) that has biometric enrolment and verification capability. The TOE will be defined by a combination of the components described in Chapter 3, PP-Configuration Components Statement.

2. PP-Configuration Reference

This PP-Configuration is identified as follows:

  • PP-Configuration for Protection Profile for Mobile Device Fundamentals and collaborative PP-Module for Biometric enrolment and verification - for unlocking the device - [CFG-MDF-BIO], September 12, 2022, Version 1.1

3. PP-Configuration Components Statement

This PP-Configuration includes the following components:

  • Base-PP: Protection Profile for Mobile Device Fundamentals, September 12, 2022, Version 3.3. [PP_MDF]

  • PP-Module: collaborative PP-Module for Biometric enrolment and verification - for unlocking the device - [BIOPP-Module], September 12, 2022, Version 1.1

4. Conformance claim and conformance statement

4.1. Common Criteria Conformance claim

This PP-Configuration, [PP_MDF] and [MOD_BIO_V1.0] are conformant to Common Criteria Version 3.1, Revision 5.

4.2. The conformance type

To be conformant to this PP-Configuration, an ST must demonstrate Exact Conformance, as defined by [addenda].

4.3. The Assurance package conformance claim

In order to evaluate a TOE that claims conformance to this PP-Configuration, the evaluator shall evaluate the TOE against the following SARs that are defined in the [PP_MDF]:

Table 1. Assurance Components
Assurance Class Assurance Components

Security Target (ASE)

Conformance Claims (ASE_CCL.1)

Extended Components Definition (ASE_ECD.1)

ST Introduction (ASE_INT.1)

Vulnerability Survey (AVA_VAN.1)

Note that to fully evaluate the TOE, these SARs shall be applied to the entire TSF and not just the portions described by [PP_MDF] where the SARs are defined.

4.4. Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) conformance

In order to evaluate a TOE that claims conformance to the Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) requirements, the evaluator shall evaluate the TOE using the tests defined in the [Toolbox]. PAD conformance is not mandatory for a TOE under evaluation.
