Secure, single-port HDMI KVM isolator 

with audio and CAC support, NIAP Common Criteria PPs 4.0 compliant 

The use of a secure KVM isolator suits scenarios where vulnerable peripherals or computers may impose a security threat.

A secure KVM isolator prevents vulnerable peripherals (such as a printer, a projector, speakers) or computers (such as an unsupervised/non-secure guest laptop brought into a secure meeting room) from mediating between compromised and secure computers by ensuring that keyboard/mouse, video and audio flow only in a single direction. By preventing host-to-peripheral direct access, a secure isolator eliminates data leakage. This single direction data transmission provides complete isolation of the secure computer, preventing all kinds of intruder attempts via cyber hacking, eavesdropping, or device re-tasking.

A secure isolator is designed to provide the highest possible computer and peripheral isolation as demanded by government agencies, military, financial institutions, and similar security-sensitive customers.

For example, in a secure meeting room, when an unsupervised (non-secure) guest laptop has to be connected to a projector which is shared with a classified computer. By isolating the classified computer from the projector, the secure isolator protects the classified computer from being infected by the guest laptop.

Additionally, by allowing sound to travel only in one direction from the PC to the speaker, the isolator protects against eavesdropping attempts, hence prevents intruders from compromising a computer's security and re-tasking the audio line-in (headset/speaker) into a microphone line.

SA-UHN-1S-P is a single-port KVM isolator supporting a single-head HDMI video connection.

Install the isolator between your peripherals and computer by connecting the video, keyboard, mouse, and audio ports of the computer to the isolator inputs, as well as the video, keyboard, mouse or audio ports of your peripherals. By doing this the computer and the peripherals are completely isolated from each other.

CAC Support
Many secure KVM switches support CAC devices, such as smart-card and biometric readers, bolstering security when using the device. However, iPGARD takes CAC security even further, allowing users to assign specific peripheral devices to SA-DVN-2D-P's CAC port. Once a peripheral device has been registered by an authenticated admin, users can then switch the connection between that device and the PC's along with KVM switching.

Secure EDID Learn
Upon activating the KVM isolator, the unit will quickly and automatically learn new EDID for the connected monitor. The unit prevents unwanted and unsecure data from getting transmitted between the computer and the display. EDID information is parsed to assure that only legitimate information is passed between the display and the source. The isolator is used as a buffer to protect transferring malicious data through the EDID channel. EDID information is limited to the basic essentials. Instead of passing the full EDID and MCCS, iPGARD's KVM isolator limits the EDID to the minimum required, in order to restrict the EDID data passed.
