5.  Extended Components 
Definition 
This  Security  Target  defines  components  that  are  extensions  to  Common 
Criteria 3.1 Release 3, Part 2.  
5.1.  FPT_FDI_EXP Restricted 
forwarding of data to external 
interfaces 
Family behaviour: 
This family defines requirements for the TSF to restrict direct forwarding of 
information from one external interface to another external interface. 
Many  products  receive  information  on  specific  external  interfaces  and  are 
intended to transform and process this information before it is transmitted on 
another  external  interface.  However,  some  products  may  provide  the 
capability for attackers to misuse external interfaces to violate the security of 
the  TOE  or  devices  that  are  connected  to  the  TOE’s  external  interfaces. 
Therefore, direct forwarding of unprocessed data between different external 
interfaces  is  forbidden  unless  explicitly  allowed  by  an  authorized 
administrative  role.  The  family  FPT_FDI_EXP  has  been  defined  to  specify 
this kind of functionality. 
Component leveling: 
 
 
 
FPT_FDI_EXP.1 Restricted forwarding of data to external interfaces, provides 
for the functionality to require TSF controlled processing of data received over 
defined external  interfaces before  this data is  sent out  on another external 
interface. Direct forwarding of data from one external interface to another one 
requires explicit allowance by an authorized administrative role.
