The ServSwitch™ Secure KVM Switch with USB, EAL4+ Certified, DVI offers not only superior hardware-based data-isolation features, but it has also been certified for Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance to Level 4+ (EAL4+), augmented by ALC_FLR.2 and ATE_DPT.2.

The Common Criteria is an international standardized process for information technology security evaluation, validation, and certification. The Common Criteria scheme is supported by the National Security Agency through the National Information Assurance Program (NIAP). EAL4+ itself defines a common set of tests to evaluate the security of an IT product relating to its supply chain, from design and engineering to manufacturing and distribution.

The ServSwitch Secure KVM Switch with USB, EAL4+ Certified, DVI provides control and separation of two PC CPUs/servers connected to secure and non-secure networks through just one keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Users can safely switch among the connected computers operating at different classification levels without worry.

Threats/Solutions Scenarios

1. Prevent data leaking between ports and to the outside world.

Threat: Microprocessor malfunction or unanticipated software bugs cause data to flow between ports.
Solution: Unidirectional keyboard and mouse data flow is enforced by hardware "data diodes" so data isolation doesn't rely on software integrity. This makes it impossible for the computer to send data along the keyboard and mouse signaling channel. This advanced design also ensures data isolation through hardware and prevents the keyboard and mouse interfaces from becoming covert computer-to-computer signaling channels because of software holes or unanticipated bugs.

In addition, keyboard and mouse devices can only be enumerated at the keyboard and mouse ports. Any other USB peripherals, such as a USB thumb drive, will be inhibited from operating, preventing any uploading or downloading of data.

Threat: Physical proximity between ports enables data leakage.
Solution: Isolation is improved by placing the red and black ports at the opposite edges of the switch.

Threat: Accidental port switching.
Solution: Locked-down operation disables all keyboard hotkey and mouse switching functions in both software and hardware so that data corruption can't inadvertently cause an unanticipated channel change. The only way to change the channels is with the front-panel keys. There is only one button per channel, so channel selection is clear. Color-coded visual feedback confirms the channel selection.

Threat: Signaling by shorting the power supply or loading the power.
Solution: Each port is independently powered by its USB port. Shorting the power supply on one port will not cause the power on the other ports to be switched off. The shared keyboard, mouse, and monitor circuitry are powered by the power supply. The lack of a common power supply minimizes electronic signaling.
