5A003 – Systems, equipment and components providing non-cryptographic “information security”, as follows:
a. | telecommunications cable systems designed or modified using mechanical, electrical or electronic means to detect surreptitious intrusions; Note: | Paragraph 5A003.a. aims only at physical layer security. |
|
b. | specially designed or modified to suppress compromising emanations of information-carrying signals beyond what is necessary for health, safety or electromagnetic interference standards. |
5A004 - Systems, equipment and components intended to defeat, weaken or circumvent "information security", as follows: a. | designed or modified to perform 'cryptoanalytic functions'; Note: | Paragraph 5A004.a. includes systems or equipment designed or modified to perform 'cryptoanalytic functions' by reverse engineering. |
Technical note: 'Cryptoanalytic functions' are functions designed to defeat cryptographic mechanisms to obtain confidential variables or sensitive data, including plain text, passwords or cryptographic keys. |
5B2 - Testing, inspection and production equipment
5B002 – Testing, inspection and “production” equipment ensuring “information security”, as follows:
a. | equipment specially designed for the “development” or “production” of equipment specified in 5A002, 5A003 and 5A004 or 5B002.b.; |
b. | measuring equipment specially designed to evaluate and validate the “information security” functions of equipment specified in 5A002, 5A003 and 5A004 or “software” specified in 5D002.a. or 5D002.c. |
5C2 - Materials
Nothing.
5D2 - Software
5D002 – “Software”, as follows:
a. | “software” specially designed or modified for the “development”, “production” or “use” of equipment specified in 5A002, 5A003 and 5A004 or “software” specified in 5D002.c.; |
b. | “software” specially designed or modified to support the “technology” specified in 5E002; |
c. | specific “software”, as follows: 1. | “software” having the characteristics or performing or simulating the functions of equipment specified in paragraphs 5A002, 5A003 and 5A004; |
2. | “software” intended to certify the “software” referred to in paragraph 5D002.c.1. |
Note: | Paragraph 5D002.c. does not cover “software” limited to “OAM” tasks implementing only published or commercial cryptographic standards. |
|
d. | “software” designed or modified to enable an item, through “cryptographic activation,” to meet the functionality requirements of 5A002.a. which would not otherwise be fulfilled. |
5E2 - Technology
5E002 – “Technology”, as follows:
a. | "technology", as defined in the General Technology Note, for the "development", "production" or "use" of equipment specified in 5A002, 5A003 and 5A004 or 5B002, or of "software" covered in paragraphs 5D002.a. or 5D002.c.; |
b. | “technology” intended to enable an item, through “cryptographic activation”, to meet the functionality conditions referred to in 5A002.a. which would not otherwise be fulfilled. |
Note: | Paragraph 5E002 includes “information security” technical data obtained using procedures performed to evaluate or determine the implementation of functions, features or techniques referred to in Category 5, Part 2. |
