Features
Benefits
Transparent Keyboard Handling
Transparent keyboard handling means that virtually all user
keystrokes are sent to the target server and not processed by the
desktop client. This key feature obviates the need for most keyboard
macros and allows the user to directly interact with the target server
with a higher level of connectivity.
Send Text to Target
With this feature, customers can conveniently send text data, scripts
or commands from their remote workstation to servers in the data
center.
Security Features
Validated FIPS 140-2
Cryptographic Module
For government, military and other high security applications, the
Dominion KX II is the first and only digital KVM switch utilizing a
validated FIPS 140-2 Cryptographic Module for enhanced
encryption. Modules tested and validated as conforming to FIPS
140-2 are accepted by federal agencies of the U.S. and Canada for
the protection of sensitive information.
AES Encryption
The Dominion KX II utilizes the Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) encryption for added security. 128- and 256-bit AES
encryption is available.
AES is a U.S. government-approved cryptographic algorithm that is
recommended by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) in the FIPS Standard 197.
Smart Card and CAC
Authentication
The Dominion KX II supports smart card and DoD Common Access
Card (CAC) authentication at the rack, stand-alone over IP and
through CC-SG. It meets U.S. government HSPD-12, PIV and CAC
directives and ISO 7816, PC/SC and CCID standards. All Dominion
KX II models support smart cards using the D2CIM-DVUSB CIM.
Video, Virtual Media and Smart
Card Encryption
Dominion KX II securely encrypts the video stream, keyboard and
mouse data, virtual media and smart card transmissions.
RADIUS, LDAP and Active
Directory
®
Authentication
Dominion KX II integrates with industry-standard directory servers,
such as Microsoft
Active Directory, using either the LDAP or
RADIUS protocols. This allows Dominion KX II to use preexisting
username/password databases for security.
Configurable Strong Password
Checking
The Dominion KX II has administrator-configurable, strong
password checking to ensure that user-created passwords meet
corporate and/or government standards and are resistant to brute
force hacking.
Configurable Security Banner
For government, military and other security-conscious customers
requiring a security message before user login, the KX II can display
a user-configurable banner message and require acceptance before
user login.
“Stealth Mode” with Configurable
Port Numbers
For customers wishing to increase security by avoiding the standard
TCP/IP port numbers, the Dominion KX II allows the administrator to
configure alternate port numbers.
