Abstract:
Devices and methods provide for enabling a user to use a single user authentication device such as smart-card reader, such that the user is capable of securely interfacing with two or more isolated computers and enabling the user to authenticate and remain authenticated at multiple computers at the same time. Once the user removes the smart-card from the smart-card reader, the authentication session on all coupled computers is terminated at once. The user authentication device comprises: an authentication module connected via a channel selection switch to one of a plurality of channels, each interfacing with a respective coupled computer.
Abstract:
A new and unique server having server core, storage interface I/O function, local area network interface I/O function that comprises remote graphic controller manageable emulated function (RMEF). The RMEF comprises circuitry capable of emulating a standard graphic controller to the server core so as to enable the core to generate video frames and circuitry capable of remotely delivering the video frames to remote management console application and other I/O interface functions. The functions can be implemented on a single chip.
Abstract:
A streaming video security device is provided that comprises an input LAN interface, at least one streaming video decoder, an output LAN interface, at least one streaming video encoder coupled at one side to said LAN interface for streaming video output and coupled at the other side to a raw video display-compatible output interface; and unidirectional data flow element coupled at the transmitting side to the streaming video decoder through the raw video display-compatible output interface and coupled at the receiving side to one or more video encoder through the raw video display-compatible input interface.
Abstract:
A system enabling a computer user to securely share a single set of keyboard and mouse (KM) among multiple isolated computers. The system enables one set of peripheral devices to independently interact with multiple coupled isolated computers through mouse position analysis on a virtual display area corresponding to multiple physical user displays of the particular installation. The system may be used to enable computer user having multiple isolated computers each with one or more coupled display to automatically switch a single set of keyboard mouse and other peripheral devices between the different computers. As isolated computers may have different security levels, the method and apparatus of the present invention prevents and potential data leakages between computers and coupled networks.
Abstract:
Single Optical Fiber KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) systems are provided that comprises of two subsystems: an electro-optical transmitter subsystem and an electro-optical receiver subsystem. The single optical fiber KVM is configured to support all required bi-directional communications.
Abstract:
Organizations often defend against security threats by physically isolate their internal classified networks from external networks attached to the internet. To enable easy user's access to several networks many organizations are using KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) devices attached to multiple PCs or thin-clients, each attached to a different network. As KVMs may be abused by attackers to bridge or leak between isolated networks, Secure KVM typically used having isolated circuitry for each computer channel to reduce its vulnerability to leakages between channels. To enable remote installation of a KVM with isolated computers a remote Controller-Indicator is needed in order to present to the user the KVM front panel indications and to enable certain control functions. The current invention provides a KVM switch capable of providing secure remote extension of KVM control and indication functions. Another object of the present invention is to provide a KVM switch having secure remote extension of the complete user console with support of: remote keyboard, mouse, one or more displays, smart-card reader, audio devices, KVM control and KVM monitoring.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to provide a housing for computing insert apparatus mounted on the wall or floor embedded inside a LAN jack or a main power outlet. A connector in the housing preferably provides the inserted computing apparatus with both data and electrical power. The housing is made of thermally conductive material to assist the dissipation of heat produced by the inserted apparatus. A locking mechanism allows easy insertion of a computing insert but prevents removal of the insert without a special tool. This common housing enables easy installation of the computing apparatus module and plurality of other compatible devices that may be plugged into that same housing.
Abstract:
A secure motherboard for a computer, wherein each user accessible peripheral port is protected by hardware based peripheral protection circuitry soldered to the motherboard. The protection circuitry provides security functions decreasing the vulnerability of the computer to data theft. User input ports such as keyboard and mouse peripheral ports are coupled to the computer through a security function that enforce unidirectional data flow only from the user input devices to the computer. Display port uses a security function which isolates the EDID in the display from the computer. Authentication device such as smart card reader is coupled to the computer via a port having a security function which enumerates the authentication device before coupling it to the computer.
Abstract:
A 3-Dimensional multi-layered modular computer (3DMC) is disclosed that comprises removable layers of at least one CPU layer, at least one volatile memory layer, and at least one Input/Output (I/O) interface layers. The layers are stacked in parallel and are electrically connected to create a computing apparatus. Each of the layers is formed from encapsulating material having one or more internal cavities for chip dice, passive components, active components, and conductor's traces. A plurality of Thermal Conducting Rods (TCRs) is capable of conducting and removing heat generated by the components in the layers from the 3DMC apparatus to an external medium. Each TCR perpendicularly passes through the layers.
