Encryption
The transmitted data between the KVM matrix system and the software can be
secured by applying encryption options.
The transmission of authentication data is always secured. Additionally, you can
encrypt the data of keyboard and mouse activities and of the transmitted video signal.
The following options for encryption are provided:
IMPORTANT: In case sensitive data is being displayed and edited on the target,
activate the encryption of the Input and the Video channel for transmitting data via
the internet.
If the data traffic is transmitted via a secure VPN connection, the encryption is not
required.
NOTE: Please mind that every additional encryption requires time and influences
the performance.
CTRL channel: This channel transmits the exchanged data for the login proce-
dure at the KVM matrix system.
The data transmitted on this channel is always encrypted.
Input channel: This channel transmits the keyboard/mouse signals to the KVM
matrix system.
If this channel is not encrypted, IP packets can be sniffed.
Encryption is optional and can lead to small performance losses due to higher
data traffic.
Video channel: This channel transmits the target’s video signal to the
IP-Console Client software.
If this channel is not encrypted, the transmitted image can be
restored by sniffed IP packets.
Encryption is optional and can lead to small performance losses due to higher
data traffic.
