Kanguru Common Criteria Evaluated v1.21 - Manual (Page 6)

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose of this document
The Kanguru Defender Family of encrypted storage devices is designed to provide secure and reliable
portable storage.
Because security requirements are dependent upon the applications and environment, it is not possible
to simply certify that the devices are “secure”, a more precise definition is needed.
The Common Criteria (CC) provides a widely recognized methodology for security certification of
products. A CC evaluation is fundamentally a two-step process, consisting of defining the “security
target” which describes the features that are to be evaluated, and then testing and verifying that the
product actually implements these features with a sufficient level of assurance.
This document is a security guide that explains how to set up the evaluated configuration, and provides
information to administrators and ordinary users to ensure secure operation of the Kanguru Defender
devices. It is intended to be self-contained in addressing the most important issues at a high level, and
refers to other existing documentation where more details are needed.
The document addresses both administrators and users and the different tasks they are involved in.
Knowledge of the Common Criteria is not required for readers of this document.
