6 Architectural Information
The Belkin® OmniView™ Secure KVM Switch architecture is divided into the following
sections in the ST:
Data Separation
Switch Management
The TOE itself is not concerned with the User’s information flowing between the shared
peripherals and the switched computers. It is only providing a connection between the human
interface devices and a selected computer at any given instant.
6.1.1 Data Separation
The Data Separation security function assures that the TOE is connected to only a single
computer at one time. Manual switches allow the operator to select which computer is connected
to the Peripheral Port Group at any given time. Each connected computer has a discrete switch
and hub on the TOE assigned to its USB and each switched computer has its own logical ID
within the TOE through this switch arrangement. Through this dedicated switching mechanism,
the connection between the peripheral port group and the selected computer is activated. The
design of these switches and associated circuitry assure that only a single computer can be
engaged by the keyboard, mouse, and video monitor resources. Through this data separation
security function, the TOE precludes the sharing or transfer of data between computers by the
TOE.
6.1.2 Switch Management
The TOE provides a LED indicator light above the push button switch that indicates to the User
which computer is activated to the peripheral port group. The switch management security
function also supports the switching rule that specifies that Data can flow to a peripheral port
group only if it was received from the same switched computer. The switching mechanism used
is strictly manual and precludes activating two switched computer members at once or partial
activation of more than a single peripheral port group member. The TOE supports domain
separation through the switch management security function and ensures that TSP functions are
successful prior to allowing data to travel through the TOE from the peripheral port group to the
switch computer resource.
6.2 TOE Boundaries
Figure 1 illustrates the Belkin® OmniView™ Secure KVM Switch and its intended
environment. Components other than the Belkin® OmniView™ Secure KVM Switch product
(i.e., Switched Peripheral Port Group and Host Computers), are not part of the TOE.
