Introduction
The ADDERView Secure KVM Switch allows a keyboard, monitor and mouse to be shared between high and low security systems, sometimes known as red and black networks, and is designed carefully to prevent information flowing between computers or to the outside world via emissions snooping.
Features

ALC_FLR.2) COMMON CRITERIA (ISO 15408) ASSURANCE LEVEL and Peripheral
Sharing Switch (PSS) For Human Interface Devices Protection Profile,

- Uni-directional data paths for Keyboard and Mouse
- Unique one-way data paths ensure that data isolation does not rely
on trusting microprocessor software, but is instead assured by hardware
and prevents a hidden software weaknesses that could potentially cause
data leakage. A uni-directional structure also protects against timing
analysis or forced malfunction attacks and prevents computers
influencing the operation of any common circuitry.
- Minimal emissions profile
- The ADDERView Secure is heavily shielded with double shielding in
critical areas to minimise the risk of eavesdropping equipment being
able to pick up signals from the equipment.
- No shared RAM between ports
- The keyboard and mouse processor is powered down and reset at each
switchover to thwart shared RAM leakages. Separate memories hold the
num, caps and scroll states and are only accessible when the relevant
channel is selected. All data buffers are cleared once they have been
used.
- One time programmable microprocessors
- Microprocessors are one time programmable and don't contain
reprogrammable flash memory. This protects against sensitive data being
stored within the device and protects the software against being
corrupted.
- 60dB crosstalk isolation
- High crosstalk isolation ensures that less than 1/1000th of any
signal from one computer is presented to the input of another computer
due to electrical crosstalk.
- Restricted USB function
- The USB ports will only support keyboards and mice and other
devices, such as USB storage drives, are actively prohibited.
- No microphone connections
- To prevent small levels of crosstalk noise from being "recorded",
microphone connections are banned from the design.
- Independent power supplies block power line signalling
- The circuitry for each port is independently powered from the USB
lead. Power line signaling is therefore blocked because different port
circuits don't share the same power feed.
- ADDERView Secure checks its own operation
- The hardware and software must agree before data flow is enabled.
The switch constantly checks its own operation and will stop operating
and flash its error light if an unanticipated event occurs.
- Maximum compatibility
- For maximum compatibility and security USB keyboard/mouse and dual
link DVI-I monitor interfaces are used and makes the AdderView Secure
truely platform independent.
- Superb video performance
- Dual link DVI interface operates at full DVI bandwidth to ensure
higher end applications that require exact video quality, sometimes at
very high video resolutions, are not compromised. DVI interfaces have
the added security advantage that randomizing the low order video bit
can make snooping much harder.
