Security Features
Product is designed, manufactured and delivered in se curity-controlled
environments. Below is a summar y of the main advanced features
incorporated in product:
Advanced isolation between computers and shared peripherals
The emulations of keyboard, mouse and display EDID, prevent direct
contact between computers and shared peripherals. Product design
achieves maximal security by keeping the video path separate with
keyboard and mouse switched together, purging keyboard buffer when
switching channels. All these features contribute to strong isolation
between computer interfaces, maintained even when product is
powered off.
Unidirectio nal data flow: US B, audio and video
Unique hardware architecture components prevent unauthorized data
flow, including:
• Optical unidirectional data flow diodes in the USB data path that
filtrate and reject unqualified USB devices;
• Secure analog audio diodes that prevent audio eavesdropping
with no support for microphone or any other audio-input device;
• Video path is kept separate from all other traffic, enforcing
unidirectional native video flow. EDID emulation is done at power
up and blocks all EDID/MCCS writes. For DisplayPort video,
filtration of AUX channel exists to reject unauthorized transactions.
Isolation of power domains
Complete isolation of power domains prevents signaling attacks.
Secure administrator acces s & log fu nct ions
Product incorporates secure administrator access and log functions to
provide auditable trail for all product security events, including bat tery
backup life for anti-tampering and log functions. Non-reprogrammable
firmware prevents the ability to tamper with product logic.
Always-on, act ive anti-tamper system
Active anti-tampering system prevents malicious inser tion of hardware
implant such as wireless key-logger inside product enclosure. Any antitampering attempt causes isolation of all computers and peripheral
devices rendering product inoperable and showing clear indications of
tampering event to user.
Holographic security tamper-evident labels are placed on the enclosure
to provide a clear visual indication if product has been opened or
compromised.
Metal enclosure is designed to resist mechanical tampering with all
microcontrollers protected against firmware-read, modification and
rewrite.
