Overview

EN 419211-4:2013 is a CEN protection profile that extends the SSCD (Secure Signature Creation Device) family to cover devices that generate signing keys internally and export signature verification data (public key / SVD) over a trusted channel to a Certificate Generation Application (CGA). It is a Common Criteria (CC) v3.1-based profile intended for evaluation of products (the TOE - Target of Evaluation) used to create electronic signatures, including those that can support qualified electronic signatures under Directive 1999/93/EC when paired with a qualified certificate.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Protection profile scope: Secure signature creation device with key generation and trusted communication to certificate generation application (SSCD KG TCCGA).
  • Assurance level: EAL4 augmented with AVA_VAN.5 (as specified in the PP).
  • Core security functions:
    • Internal generation and secure storage of signature creation data (SCD).
    • Protection of reference authentication data (RAD) such as PINs or biometric templates.
    • Export of signature verification data (SVD) / public key in a protected and authenticated manner to a CGA via a trusted channel.
    • Controlled use of SCD so only the authorized signatory can create signatures.
    • Interfaces for interaction with a Signature Creation Application (SCA), Certificate Generation Application (CGA), and management/provisioning services.
  • Operational environments: defined secure preparation, signing, and management environments protecting data exchanges with the TOE.
  • Conformance and standards alignment: Follows Common Criteria 3.1 conventions, aligns with Annex III requirements of Directive 1999/93/EC for SSCDs.

Applications and who uses it

  • Device manufacturers (smart cards, secure elements, HSM vendors) seeking CC-based evaluation for devices that generate keys and need to export public keys securely.
  • Certificate Service Providers (CSPs) and certificate authorities that operate CGAs and require trusted import of SVDs from devices.
  • System integrators and solution architects implementing secure signing workflows (e.g., qualified signature issuance).
  • Evaluation and testing laboratories performing CC evaluations against the PP.
  • Typical deployments include smart cards, USB tokens, secure mobile elements, and HSM-backed appliances used in regulated signature issuance.

Related standards

  • EN 419211 series (Parts 1–6): core PP overview and extensions (key generation, key import, trusted channels to SCA/CGA).
  • Common Criteria (CC) v3.1 for evaluation and assurance methodology.
  • Directive 1999/93/EC - legal framework for electronic signatures in the EU.

This profile is critical for vendors and CSPs who must demonstrate that devices generating signing keys and exporting public keys do so with provable, standardized security guarantees.
