US Government Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Client for Basic Robustness Environments Protection Profile

Overview This Protection Profile (PP) supports future Department of Defense (DoD) procurements of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) wireless local area network (WLAN) clients that will be used in basic robustness environments. This PP details the policies, assumptions, threats, security objectives, security functional requirements, and security assurance requirements for the WLAN client and its supporting environment. In the case of this PP, the TOE supporting environment is significant. The TOE is a wireless network interface card. This device is relatively simple and is a component of a larger system. As such, the TOE must rely heavily on the TOE IT environment for protection.
