| Criterion | Value | Proof | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication with other systems | Partial | https://www.tp-link.com/ae/support/faq/4191/ 🔗 Proof | Tapo account authentication and authorized hub integration are available, but full mutual authentication for every app, cloud, hub and voice-assistant interface is not publicly demonstrated. |
| Communications | Encrypted with up-to-date encryption | 🔗 Proof | The product specifications document AES encryption with SSL/TLS and WPA/WPA2/WPA3 wireless security for current encrypted communication. |
| Storage | Encrypted with up-to-date encryption | https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/4336/ 🔗 Proof | The microSD card can be protected with a password through the Tapo app. Tapo also documents AES-128 and TLS 1.2 protection for sensitive information and encrypted Tapo Care cloud storage. |

3. User Authentication
| Criterion | Value | Proof | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account management | Basic | 🔗 Proof | The owner can invite other TP-Link accounts and remove shared access. Shared users have limited permissions, but comprehensive role-based account administration is not provided. |
| Authentication | Secure | 🔗 Proof | Tapo provides optional Two-Step Verification using time-sensitive verification codes delivered through a trusted device or the registered email address. |
| Brute-force protection | Basic | 🔗 Proof | Two-Step Verification reduces unauthorized account access, but exact password-attempt limits or lockout thresholds are not publicly specified; a conservative score is used. |
| Event logging | Access event logged | 🔗 Proof | The Tapo app provides Login Activity, trusted-device management and new-login notifications, allowing users to review account access events. |
| Passwords | Require change after setup | https://www.tp-link.com/pe/home-networking/cloud-camera/tapo-c660-kit/ 🔗 Proof | The camera is managed through a user-created TP-Link account rather than a published universal default password. The user can also set a separate password to protect the microSD card. |
