AdderView Secure
Ultra secure USB, dual link DVI-I and audio KVM switch for use in environments where security
must be guaranteed.
DESCRIPTION:
The AdderView Secure 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. The AdderView Secure design prevents sensitive data from
leaking between ports, sensitive data leaking to the outside world and sensitive data from being stored in the device to
actively combat a range of potential leakage “threats”.
FEATURES:
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.
Additional Features :
• Digital or analogue video
• Simple channel selection
• Tamper proof design
• Keyboard and mouse hotkey switching is banned from the
design
