The Target of Evaluation (TOE), the S3FV5RP, S3FV5RK, S3FV5RJ, S3FV5RH 32-Bit RISC Microcontroller for Smart Cards, Revision 0 with optional Secure ECC Library (Version 1.01) including specific IC Dedicated Software is a smartcard integrated circuit which is composed of a processing unit, security components, contact based I/O ports, hardware circuit for testing purpose during the manufacturing process and volatile and non-volatile memories (hardware).
The TOE also includes any IC Designer/Manufacturer proprietary IC Dedicated Software as long as it physically exists in the smartcard integrated circuit after being delivered by the IC Manufacturer. Such software (also known as IC firmware) is used for testing purpose during the manufacturing process but also provides additional services to facilitate the usage of the hardware and/or to provide additional services, including optional ECC public key cryptographic library, and an PTG.2-compliant random number generator. The ECC library further includes the functionality of hash computation. The use for keyed hash operations like HMAC or similar security critical operations involving keys and other secrets, is not subject of this TOE and requires specific security improvements and DPA analysis including the operating system, which is not part of this TOE. However, this functionality is intended to be used for signature generation and verification only.
All other software is called Smartcard Embedded Software and is not part of the TOE.
