The Sobol electronic lock is used to protect personal computers, including desktops, laptops, ultrabooks, servers and a number of specialized devices (cryptographic gateways, routers, etc.)

2012

Companies are moving their IT infrastructure to smaller solutions. Desktops are being replaced with portable computers (laptops, ultrabooks, all-in-ones, nettops, etc.), bulky servers and specialized devices (cryptographic gateways, routers, blade servers, etc.) - with small modern analogues. According to IDC forecasts, laptop shipments for 2012 will increase by 13.9%, and desktop shipments by only 2.6%. Of course, updating the equipment should not lead to a decrease in the level of corporate security. Therefore, you need to update your security features in time or install new ones. Currently, the Russian information security market has a large number of various information protection tools, among which an important place is occupied by hardware and software modules of trusted loading, which neutralize a number of threats, such as unauthorized access, password selection, loading an abnormal operating system, modifying system files and the Windows registry, changing the hardware of the protected computer, etc.

For more than ten years, the Sable trusted download hardware and software module developed at the Informzaschita NIP has been supplied to the Russian information security market. The number of installations in workstations, servers, specialized platforms amounted to more than four million. The design of the module developed after the market, engineers quickly responded to the emergence of new types of computers and components, improving the Sable hardware, and increasing the number of types of supported identifiers. New threats appeared, the regulatory authorities put forward appropriate requirements, in response the developers developed functionality and introduced new protection mechanisms.

In 2011, the Security Code company decided to release Sable for compact computing devices. In April 2012, a trusted boot module under the official name "Sable Software and Hardware Complex" was developed and submitted for certification for computers with a Mini PCI Express system bus. Version 3.0. "

The previous implementation of the module based on the PCI-E card, successfully supplied to the Russian market, is certified by the FSB and FSTEC of Russia. The obtained certificates allow you to use PAK "Sable" to protect information constituting a commercial or state secret in automated systems with a security class up to 1B inclusive and in ISDS up to K1 class inclusive. The corresponding level of certification is planned to be preserved for the new implementation of PAC Sobol.

Certification

Certificate of conformity of the FSTEC of Russia No. 1574 for a software and hardware means of protecting a computer from unauthorized access Sable 2.1 until March 14, 2014. This certificate confirms that PAC Sobol 2.1 meets the 2nd level of control for the absence of undeclared capabilities (in accordance with the requirements of RD of the State Technical Commission of Russia) and can be used in automated systems up to and including 1B class. By renewing the certificate for PAC Sobol 2.1, the company Security Code provides an opportunity for the information systems of Customers that use this version of the electronic lock to continue to comply with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation.

The Security Code company announced in September 2012 that it had received a GOST R certificate of conformity for the Sable version 3.0 trusted download software and hardware complex. Certificate No. 0748509 confirms compliance of PAC Sable 3.0 with the requirements of regulatory documents TU RU.40308570.501410, GOST R IEC 60950-1-2009. The certificate is valid until 28.08.2015. The GOST R certificate also applies to the new version of the PAC, made in the format of a Mini PCI Express card.

Computer on the lock

To block all known routes of unauthorized entry into the computer at the operating system boot level, Sobol has many protective functions. Not only user identification is provided before the start of the operating system, but also blocking the loading of an abnormal OS from any external media is implemented. The computer is also blocked if, after it is turned on, control is not transferred to Sable. After turning on the Sable computer, the integrity of the hardware and software is checked.

The implementation of the user identification and authentication procedure allows you to create an almost insurmountable barrier against attackers trying to access data stored in a protected computer. Recognition and authentication is performed every time a user logs on with the mandatory use of personal identifiers. During authentication, the password specified by the user is checked for correctness using the user authenticator stored in the personal identifier.

Depending on the type of identifier presented, Sable PAC supports two-factor (for iButton, iKey 2032, Rutoken, Rutoken RF) and enhanced two-factor (for eToken PRO, eToken PRO (Java)) authentication methods .

When implementing two-factor authentication, a personal identifier is first presented, then a user password is entered. When performing enhanced two-factor authentication, a personal identifier is first presented, then its PIN code and user password are entered.

If you present an unregistered ID or enter a password that does not correspond to the presented ID, the intruder is prohibited from entering the system. At the same time, an attempt to unauthorized access to the computer is recorded in the event log of the Sobol PAC, which is located in a special area of ​ ​ the non-volatile memory of the complex board.

Service data on user registration is also stored in the Sable PAC magazine. The complex allows you to store information about 32 user accounts of the complex, not counting its administrator.

In the Sobol complex, the administrator has a number of convenient options for managing the identification and authentication procedure. For example, it can set the minimum length of a user's password, limit the time a user is allowed to log in to present a personal ID and enter a password, or limit the validity time of their password and authenticator, etc. To increase security, the administrator can use the use of random passwords when changing the user and administrator passwords or registering a new user.

PAC "Sable" refers to trusted boot modules, the main purpose of which is to ensure the loading of a standard copy of the operating system. A standard copy refers to a copy of the operating system allowed for operation in accordance with the established procedure. All other boot options are invalid.

The Sobol complex allows you to block unauthorized boot of the operating system from any external removable media, such as floppy disks, optical disks, ZIP devices, magneto-optical disks, USB devices, etc. After successfully downloading a standard copy of the operating system, access to these devices is restored.

The ban on downloading from external media is set by the administrator of the complex, it applies to all users of the computer, with the exception of the administrator. The administrator may allow individual users of the computer to boot the system from removable media.

The implementation of the watchdog timer mode in PAC Sobol allows you to establish another obstacle in front of violators. The watchdog mechanism blocks access to the computer if control is not transferred to the complex after the computer is turned on and after a specified time interval.

There are two ways to block access to the computer: either by forcing the computer to restart automatically using the standard Reset procedure if the required connector is on the motherboard, or by forcing the power off automatically. The watchdog timeout is determined automatically during the complex initialization phase. In the future, the administrator can adjust the parameter value from 4 to 65534 seconds with a second step.

The integrity control mechanism of PAC Sobol monitors the change in the software and hardware of the computer before loading its operating system. Integrity control is based on calculation of current values of checksums of control objects and comparison of obtained values with reference values calculated during initialization or subsequent operation of Sable PAC. The complex allows you to control the parameters of the most valuable computer information resources in terms of security.

The list of objects to be monitored is generated using the integrity control pattern management program. The program is included in the delivery set of the complex. Lists of monitored objects and their checksum values are stored as template files on the computer's hard disk. The paths to the template files are stored in the protected memory of the PAC board.

The complex implements two modes of operation of the integrity control mechanism: "hard" and "soft." The operating mode is set by the administrator for each user of the computer individually. In the "hard" mode, when violations of the integrity of control objects are detected, user login is prohibited, the computer is blocked, the corresponding event is registered in the log; in soft mode, the user is allowed to log on to the system, and an event is logged.

Future

PAC Sobol is developing based on the requests and wishes of customer companies, regulatory requirements, the development of computer equipment and new threats to computer security. Now work is underway to integrate with the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), which is replacing the classic BIOS. It is also planned to release Sable in the Half Mini PCI-E form factor, which is half the size of the existing version. Naturally, the list of supported personal identifiers and operating systems is constantly expanding.

The Sable software and hardware complex has been protecting computers for more than ten years. Little or much? In terms of life expectancy, information protection is a lot. However, from the point of view of the development of technologies, more and more new reasons for improving PAC Sobol appear. Thanks to the ease of configuration, ease of use, reliability and relatively low price, the Sobol complex developed on the basis of the Mini PCI-E board has wide development prospects.
