OVERVIEW
Security Features
SECTIONSTable of Contents 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 82
The Belkin Advanced Secure KVM Switch is the most advanced and
secure commercially available KVM Switch available today. Below is a
summar y of all the security features incorporated into the Switch.
Dedicated Processors
The Switch features a dedicated proce ssor per computer port. This
keeps each computer running on different security levels physically
separated and secure at all times, and prevents any unintended data
leakage between computers.
No Memory Buffer
The Switch does not have a memor y buffer and does not have the
ability to store data. This prevents any keystrokes or other data
input from being unintentionally transferred as you switch betwee n
computers, ensuring the integrit y of your data.
Non-Reprogrammable Firmware
The Switch features custom firmware that is not reprogrammable,
preventing the ability to tamper with the K VM logic.
Advanced Secure 8-Port and 16-Port DVI-I KVM
Unidirectional Data Paths
Optical diodes used in USB data paths provide high isolation and
prevent data leakage.
Steel Metal Enclosure
The solid steel-metal enclosure reduces the entry points into the
Switch’s electronics and minimizes radiated signals that can be
snooped or intercepted.
Active Anti-Tamper Triggers
Active chassis anti-tamper trigge rs prevent KVM electronics from
being accessed and tampered with.
Tamper-Evident Tape
A holographic security tamper-evident label is placed on the
enclosure to provide a visual indication if the Switch has been opened
or compromised.

Tamper-Proof Hardware
All integrated circuits are soldere d directly to the printed circuit board
to prevent tampering with the components.
Protected Display Information
Protected DDC/EDID emulation prevents software weaknesses that
can cause data leakage while maintaining compatibilit y with the
console display.
USB Device Detection
Storage and other unsafe USB devices are rejected when connected
to the Switch. Only mouse, keyboard, and CAC reader data are
passed through.
Advanced Secure 8-Port and 16-Port DVI-I KVM
Secure Packaging
“Tear away” packaging ensures secure delivery of the Switch as it is
routed to the end user. The recyclable packaging also breaks down
flat, simplifying the cleanup process.
NIAP Listing
The Switch is listed by the National Information Assurance Partnership
(NIAP). It is NIAP Common Criteria validated to EAL 2+ (Evaluation
Assurance Level 2), Protection Profile v.2.1.
