The requirements for the components SMAERS (Security Module Application for Electronic Record Keeping System) and CSP (Cryptographic Service Provider) are specified by protection profiles. Compliance with the specifications for each component is ensured in the course of certification.
Unternehmer, Finanz & Technik-Experte
The BSI (Federal Office for Information Security) specifies in protection profiles, which technical requirements have to be fulfilled to achieve the goal of the KassenSichV. The protection profiles describe security objectives and requirements for security functions of the components. However, the product-specific concretization is done by the manufacturer.
An evaluator (a company accredited by the BSI) checks the compliance of the protection profiles of the components. The evaluation report is then forwarded to the BSI for review. Once the TSS has been correctly implemented according to the applicable regulations, it is certified. The BSI issues the certification. This must be renewed every five years.
