1.4.1 Security Features
The following security features are provided by the Belkin secure KVM Devices:
• Video Security
• Computer video input interfaces are isolated through the use of
separate electronic components, power and ground domains
• The display is isolated by dedicated, read-only, Extended Display
Identification Data (EDID) emulation for each computer
• Access to the monitor’s EDID is blocked
• EDID file is transferred to connected hosts via a secure mechanism
to assure uni-directional information flow.
• Access to the Monitor Control Command Set (MCCS commands) is
blocked
• Only DisplayPort (DP) video peripherals are supported
• Keyboard and Mouse Security
• Keyboard and mouse are isolated by dedicated, USB device
emulation for each computer
• One-way, peripheral-to-computer data flow is enforced through
unidirectional optical data diodes
• Communication from computer-to-keyboard/mouse is blocked
• Non HID (Human Interface Device) data transactions are blocked
• Authentication Device
• Unauthorized USB devices are blocked
• USB authentication devices are authorized by default; all other
devices are blocked
• Hardware Anti-Tampering
• Any attempt to open the product enclosure will activate an anti-
tampering system, making the product inoperable and indicating
tampering via blinking Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
• Special holographic tampering evident labels on the product’s
enclosure provide a clear visual indication if the product has been
opened or compromised
• TOE Access
• The TOE provides continuous indication of which computer is
currently selected.
The secure peripheral sharing devices use multiple isolated microcontrollers (one
microcontroller per connected computer) to emulate connected peripherals in
order to prevent an unauthorized data flow through bit-by-bit signaling.
The TOE is a combined software and hardware TOE.

1.5 TOE DESCRIPTION
1.5.1 Evaluated Configurations
Figure 1 – KVM Evaluated Configuration
Figure 1 shows a basic evaluated configuration. In the evaluated configuration,
the TOE is connected to a keyboard, a mouse, a user authentication device, and
up to eight computers. The video input is DisplayPort and one or two displays
are connected. The KVM can also be used with a wired remote control.
Belkin Secure KVM DC-4 Security Target
Doc No: 2297-001-D102 Version: 1.2 Date: 2025 March 5 Page 6
Figure 2 shows a KVM Device.
Figure 2 – KVM Devices
1.5.1.1 Switch Devices
The switch devices allow sharing of the keyboard, video, mouse, and USB
peripherals between multiple computers. The video input is DisplayPort and one
or two displays are connected. The F1DN104KVMDCU-4 and F1DN204KVMDCU-4
models accept USB-C connections between the computer and the KVM.
1.5.1.2 Matrix Devices
Matrix devices allow the video output from one connected computer to be shown
on the primary display, and the video output from a second connected computer
to be shown on the secondary display. The devices also allow sharing of the
keyboard, mouse, and USB peripherals between multiple computers.
1.5.1.3 Multi-Viewer Devices
Multi-Viewer devices allow users to interact with multiple computers presented
on the same displays at the same time using a single set of keyboard, mouse,
and video peripherals. These devices simultaneously display output from
multiple connected computers to one or more display devices. There are
different layouts for displaying the video output from the connected computers.
The monitor can display only the video output from only one of the connected
computers, or it can display the video output from each of the connected
computers. If two displays are connected, there are two possible modes:
• Duplicate Screen Mode – the secondary display duplicates the primary
display.
Belkin Secure KVM DC-4 Security Target
Doc No: 2297-001-D102 Version: 1.2 Date: 2025 March 5 Page 7
• Extended Screen Mode – the video outputs can be arranged on either the
primary or secondary display.
The devices also allow sharing of the keyboard, mouse, and USB peripherals
between multiple computers.
1.5.1.4 Remote Control Devices
The user can use the wired remote control device to select the host computer to
be connected to the peripherals by pressing a button on the wired remote
control device. When the remote control is connected to the TOE, channel
switching functionality is transferred from the front panel to the remote control.
Remote control implementation eliminates the need for front panel operation.
On the remote control, there is an LED indicator for each computer. When the
remote control is connected to the TOE, the LED indicator of the selected
computer is illuminated on the remote control.
1.5.2 Physical Scope
The TOE consists of the devices shown in Table 2 and the Belkin Firmware
Version 44444-D5D5. All of the devices include tamper evident labels, active
anti-tampering, and support a keyboard, mouse, user authentication device,
DisplayPort video input and output. The only video interface supported by the
TOE is DisplayPort. The KVM can also be used with a wired remote control.

3 SECURITY PROBLEM DEFINITION
3.1 THREATS
Table 5 lists the threats described in Section 3.1 of the [PP_PSD_V4.0].
Mitigation to the threats is through the objectives identified in Section 4.1,
Security Objectives for the TOE.
Threat Description
T.DATA_LEAK A connection via the PSD1
between one or more
computers may allow unauthorized data flow through
the PSD or its connected peripherals.
T.SIGNAL_LEAK A connection via the PSD between one or more
computers may allow unauthorized data flow through
bit‐by‐bit signaling.
T.RESIDUAL_LEAK A PSD may leak (partial, residual, or echo) user data
between the intended connected computer and another
unintended connected computer.
T.UNINTENDED_USE A PSD may connect the user to a computer other than
the one to which the user intended to connect.
T.UNAUTHORIZED_DEVICES The use of an unauthorized peripheral device with a
specific PSD peripheral port may allow unauthorized
data flows between connected devices or enable an
attack on the PSD or its connected computers.
T.LOGICAL_TAMPER An attached device (computer or peripheral) with
malware, or otherwise under the control of a
malicious user, could modify or overwrite code or
data stored in the PSD’s volatile or non‐volatile
memory to allow unauthorized information flows.
T.PHYSICAL_TAMPER A malicious user or human agent could physically
modify the PSD to allow unauthorized information
flows.
T.REPLACEMENT A malicious human agent could replace the PSD

Table 5 – Threats
3.2 ORGANIZATIONAL SECURITY POLICIES
There are no Organizational Security Policies applicable to this TOE.
3.3 ASSUMPTIONS
The assumptions required to ensure the security of the TOE are listed in Table 6.
These assumptions are derived from Section 3.2 of [PP_PSD_V4.0] and
[MOD_VI_V1.0].
Assumptions Description
A.NO_TEMPEST Computers and peripheral devices connected to the
PSD are not TEMPEST approved.
ST Note: The TSF may or may not isolate the ground
of the keyboard and mouse computer interfaces (the
USB ground). The Operational Environment is
assumed not to support TEMPEST red‐black ground
isolation.
A.PHYSICAL The environment provides physical security
commensurate with the value of the TOE and the data
it processes and contains.
A.NO_WIRELESS_DEVICES The environment includes no wireless peripheral
devices.
A.TRUSTED_ADMIN PSD Administrators2
and users are trusted to follow
and apply all guidance in a trusted manner.
A.TRUSTED_CONFIG Personnel configuring the PSD and its operational
environment follow the applicable security
configuration guidance.
A.USER_ALLOWED_ACCESS All PSD users are allowed to interact with all
connected computers. It is not the role of the PSD to
prevent or otherwise control user access to connected
computers. Computers or their connected network
shall have the required means to authenticate the user
and to control access to their various resources.
2
There are no administrative functions in the TOE. Therefore, there is no administrator
so this assumption only refers to users.

4 SECURITY OBJECTIVES
The purpose of the security objectives is to address the security concerns and to
show which security concerns are addressed by the TOE, and which are
addressed by the environment. Threats may be addressed by the TOE or the
security environment or both. Therefore, the CC identifies two categories of
security objectives:
• Security objectives for the TOE
• Security objectives for the environment
4.1 SECURITY OBJECTIVES FOR THE TOE
This section identifies and describes the security objectives that are to be
addressed by the TOE, and traces each Security Functional Requirement (SFR)
back to a security objective of the TOE.
Security Objective Description

that allow signal data leakage between connected computers.
Addressed by:
PP_PSD FDP_SWI_EXT.1, FDP_SWI_EXT.2
O.AUTHORIZED
_USAGE
The TOE shall explicitly prohibit or ignore unauthorized
switching mechanisms, either because it supports only one
connected computer or because it allows only authorized
mechanisms to switch between connected computers.
Authorized switching mechanisms shall require express user
action restricted to console buttons, console switches, console
touch screen, wired remote control, and peripheral devices
using a guard. Unauthorized switching mechanisms include
keyboard shortcuts, also known as “hotkeys,” automatic port
scanning, control through a connected computer, and control
through keyboard shortcuts. Where applicable, the results of
the switching activity shall be indicated by the TSF so that it
is clear to the user that the switching mechanism was
engaged as intended.
A conformant TOE may also provide a management function
to configure some aspects of the TSF. If the TOE provides this
functionality, it shall ensure that whatever management
functions it provides can only be performed by authorized
administrators and that an audit trail of management
activities is generated.

6 SECURITY FUNCTIONAL
REQUIREMENTS
Section 6 provides security functional and assurance requirements that must be
satisfied by a compliant TOE.
6.1 CONVENTIONS
The CC permits four types of operations to be performed on functional
requirements: selection, assignment, refinement, and iteration. These
operations are denoted as follows:
• Assignment: Indicated by bold text, e.g., assigned item.
• Selection: Indicated by text in italics, e.g., selected item.
• Refinement: Refined components are identified by using underlined text
for additional information, or strikeout for deleted text.
• Iteration: Iteration operations for iterations within the Protection Profile
and associated modules are identified with a slash (‘/’) and an identifier
(e.g. “/KM”). Where multiple iterations of the SFR are required within the
ST, a number is appended to the SFR identifier (e.g.
“FDP_CDS_EXT.1(1)”).
Extended SFRs are identified by the inclusion of “_EXT” in the SFR name.
The CC operations that have already been performed in the PP and PP modules
are reproduced in plain text and not denoted in this ST. The requirements have
been copied from the PP and PP modules and any remaining operations have
been completed herein. Refer to the PP and PP modules to identify those
operations.

9 TOE SUMMARY SPECIFICATION
This section provides a description of the following TOE security functions that
meet the TOE security requirements claimed in Section 6:
• User Data Protection
• Protection of the TSF
• TOE Access
Note: The TOE does not provide a management function to configure aspects of
the TSF.
9.1 USER DATA PROTECTION
9.1.1 System Controller
Each device includes a System Controller which is responsible for device
management, user interaction, system control security functions, and device
monitoring. It receives user input from the switches on the front panel or the
remote control and drives the TOE channel select lines that control switching
circuits within the TOE.
The System Controller includes a microcontroller with internal non-volatile, Read
Only Memory (ROM). The controller function manages the TOE functionality
through a pre-programmed state machine loaded on the ROM as read-only
firmware during product manufacturing.
Following boot up of the TOE, the channel select lines are set to Channel 1 by
default. The channel select lines are also used to link the System Controller
channel select commands to the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) that
supports video processing.
The user determines the host computer to be connected to the peripherals by
pressing a button on the TOE front panel or on the wired remote control device.
The front panel button of the selected computer is illuminated. Upon connection
of the remote control connection, channel switching functionality is transferred
from the front panel to the remote control. Remote control implementation
eliminates the need for front panel operation. On the remote control, there is an
LED indicator for each computer. When the remote control is connected to the
TOE, the LED indicator of the selected computer is illuminated on the remote
control. Switching can only be initiated through express user action and not
through automated port scanning, connected computer control, or keyboard
shortcuts.
The Multi-Viewer models (F1DN104MVKVMDC4 and F1DN108MVKVMDC4) may
also be switched with peripheral devices using a guard7
. This is performed using
cursor navigation switching which requires the user to drag the mouse while
pressing and holding the left CTRL key. The front panel button of the selected
7
See Section 10.1 or [PP_PSD_V4.0] for the definition of a guard.
Belkin Secure KVM DC-4 Security Target
Doc No: 2297-001-D102 Version: 1.2 Date: 2025 March 5 Page 47
computer or the remote control indicator of the selected computer is illuminated
when the guard is used to switch.
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FDP_SWI_EXT.1,
FDP_SWI_EXT.2.
9.1.1.1 Active PSD Connections
The TOE ensures that data flows only between the peripherals and the
connected computer selected by the user. The TOE routes keyboard/mouse data
only to the connected computer selected by the user. The TOE routes user
authentication (smart card) data only to or from the connected computer
selected by the user. The TOE routes video data only from the connected
computer selected by the user.
No data or electrical signals flow between connected computers at any time. No
data or electrical signal transits the TOE when the TOE is powered off, or when
the TOE is in a failure state. A failure state occurs when the TOE fails a self-test
when powering on, or when the anti-tampering function has been triggered.
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FDP_APC_EXT.1/KM,
FDP_APC_EXT.1/UA, FDP_APC_EXT.1/VI.
9.1.1.2 Connected Computer Interfaces
The connected computers are attached to the TOE as follows:
• The TOE connects to the computer USB peripheral port using a USB A to
USB B cable. The USB A end attaches to the computer, and the USB B
end attaches to the TOE.
• The TOE connects to the keyboard and mouse port using a USB A to USB
B cable. The USB A end attaches to the computer, and the USB B end
attaches to the TOE.
• The TOE is connected to the computer video port using a video cable
supporting DisplayPort interface.
• The TOE connects to a computer on the F1DN104KVMDCU-4,
F1DN204KVMDCU-4 modules using a USB-C cable from the computer
USB-C port to the switch USB-C port.
• The TOE connects to the user authentication port using a USB A to USB B
cable. The USB A end attaches to the computer, and the USB B end
attaches to the TOE. Note: This connection to the computer requires a
separate USB cable connection and allows the user to specify whether
there is a connected device required for that computer or not. This allows
the user authentication port to be connected and controlled separately to
the keyboard, mouse and video.
There are no wireless interfaces or additional external interfaces.
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FDP_PDC_EXT.1.
9.1.1.3 Residual Information Protection
The TOE does not support a factory reset capability. The Letter of Volatility is
included as Annex A.
Belkin Secure KVM DC-4 Security Target
Doc No: 2297-001-D102 Version: 1.2 Date: 2025 March 5 Page 48
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FDP_RIP_EXT.1.
9.1.2 Keyboard and Mouse Functionality
9.1.2.1 Keyboard and Mouse Enumeration
The TOE determines whether or not a peripheral device that has been plugged
into the keyboard and mouse peripheral ports is allowed to operate with the
TOE. The TOE uses optical data diodes to enforce a unidirectional data flow from
the user peripherals to the coupled hosts, and uses isolated device emulators to
prevent data leakage through the peripheral switching circuitry.
The Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) in the host and device emulator
circuitry stores USB Host stack parameters and up to the last 4 key codes. User
data may be briefly retained; however, there are no data buffers. Data is erased
during power off of the KVM, and when the user switches channels. When the
TOE switches from one computer to another, the system controller ensures that
the keyboard and mouse stacks are deleted, and that any data received from
the keyboard in the first 100 milliseconds following switching is deleted. This is
done to ensure that any data buffered in the keyboard microcontroller is not
passed to the newly selected computer.
The TOE supports USB Type A HIDs on keyboard and mouse ports. The USB
bidirectional communication protocol is converted into a unidirectional
proprietary protocol, and is then converted back into the USB bidirectional
protocol to communicate with the coupled computer host(s).
A USB keyboard is connected to the TOE keyboard host emulator through the
console keyboard port. The keyboard host emulator is a microcontroller which
enumerates the connected keyboard and verifies that it is a permitted device
type. Once the keyboard has been verified, the USB keyboard sends scan codes,
which are generated when the user types. These scan codes are converted by
the keyboard host emulator into a proprietary protocol data stream that is
combined with the data stream from the mouse host emulator.
Similarly, the USB mouse is connected to the TOE mouse host emulator through
the USB mouse port. The mouse host emulator is a microcontroller which
enumerates the connected mouse and verifies that it is a permitted device type.
Once the mouse device has been verified, it sends serial data generated by
mouse movement and button use. The mouse serial data is converted by the
mouse host emulator into a proprietary protocol data stream that is combined
with the data stream from the keyboard host emulator.

FDP_UDF_EXT.1/KM, FDP_RIP.1/KM.
9.1.2.2 Keyboard and Mouse Switching Functionality
Figure 3 is a simplified block diagram showing the TOE keyboard and mouse
data path for two ports. A Host Emulator (HE) communicates with the user
keyboard via the USB protocol. The Host Emulator converts user key strokes
into unidirectional serial data.

Figure 3 – Simplified Switching Diagram
The combined data stream is passed through the channel select lines to the
selected host channel. The channel select lines are driven by the System
Controller Module, and the selection is based on user input through use of the
mouse or keyboard. Once a channel is selected, the combined mouse and
keyboard data stream is passed through an optical data diode and routed to the
specific host channel device emulator. The optical data diode is an opto-coupler
designed to physically prevent reverse data flow. The keyboard and mouse can
only be switched together.
Device emulators are USB enabled microcontrollers that are programmed to
emulate a standard USB keyboard and mouse composite device. The combined
data stream is converted back to bidirectional data before reaching the selected
host computer.
Since the keyboard and mouse function are emulated by the TOE, the connected
computer is not able to send data to the keyboard that would allow it to indicate
that Caps Lock, Num Lock or Scroll Lock are set. These are indicated on the
right-hand side of the TOE front panel.
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FDP_APC_EXT.1/KM,
FDP_UDF_EXT.1/KM, FDP_SWI_EXT.3.
9.1.2.3 Keyboard and Mouse Compatible Device Types
The TOE employs fixed device filtering and accepts only USB HID devices at the
keyboard and mouse peripheral ports. Only USB Type A connections are
Belkin Secure KVM DC-4 Security Target
Doc No: 2297-001-D102 Version: 1.2 Date: 2025 March 5 Page 50
permitted. The TOE does not support a wireless connection to a mouse,
keyboard or USB hub and there are no additional external interfaces.
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FDP_PDC_EXT.1,
FDP_PDC_EXT.2/KM, FDP_FIL_EXT.1/KM.
9.1.2.4 Re-Enumeration Device Rejection
If a connected device attempts to re-enumerate as a different USB device type,
it will be rejected by the TOE. The TOE will reject devices which are not allowed
at any time during operation and start-up. This is indicated by an LED on the
TOE next to the Keyboard and mouse ports. This LED shows a solid green light
for an accepted device, flickering green light during enumeration, and no light
for a rejected device.
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FDP_RDR_EXT.1.
9.1.3 Video Switching Functionality
Video data flow is comprised of unidirectional Extended Display Identification
Data (EDID) and video data flow paths. Figure 4 shows a data flow during the
display EDID read function.
Figure 4 – Display EDID Read Function
For each display device, an EDID read event only occurs as the TOE is being
powered up. The video controller reads the EDID content from the display device
to verify that it is valid and usable. If the EDID data is not valid, the TOE will not
Belkin Secure KVM DC-4 Security Target
Doc No: 2297-001-D102 Version: 1.2 Date: 2025 March 5 Page 51
send data to the display peripheral. To use the display port, a working display
peripheral must be connected to the TOE and the TOE restarted.
Figure 5 – Display EDID Write Function
Figure 5 illustrates the video controller (shown in blue) as it writes the EDID
content into the first channel emulated EDID Electrically Erasable Programmable
Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) chip (shown in gray). The thick lines in this figure
indicate native video lines, and the thin lines indicate Inter-Integrated Circuit
(I2C) lines. The EDID multiplexer couples the I2C lines to the first EDID mode
switch (shown in orange). The first EDID mode switch switches the video
controller I2C lines to the first emulated EDID EEPROM chip (shown in gray).
The chip write protect switch opens to enable writing. The video controller uses
the I2C lines to write to the first emulated EDID EEPROM chip. Once the write
operation is complete and verified, the video controller switches the EDID
multiplexer to the next channel and the operation repeats until all chips are
programmed. Once the write operation is complete, the video controller switches
to normal operating mode, as shown in Figure 6 below.
In EDID write mode, the Emulated EDID EEPROM chips are switched to their
respective computers to enable reading of the EDID information. The write
Belkin Secure KVM DC-4 Security Target
Doc No: 2297-001-D102 Version: 1.2 Date: 2025 March 5 Page 52
protect switches are switched back to protected mode to prevent any attempt to
write to the EEPROM or to transmit MCCS commands.
Figure 6 – Display Normal Mode
In normal mode, each computer interface operates independently. The power to
each emulated EDID EEPROM is received from its respective computer through
the video cable. The main video multiplexer is switched to the user selected
computer to enable the proper video display.
During TOE normal operation (Figure 6), any attempt by a connected computer
to affect the EDID channel is blocked by the architecture. Each computer is only
able to affect its own emulated EDID EEPROM.
Video input interfaces are isolated from one another. Isolation is achieved
through the use of separate power and ground planes, separate electronic
components and a separate emulated EDID chip for each channel.
The EDID function is emulated by an independent emulation EEPROM chip for
each computer channel. These chips read content from the connected display
once during TOE power up. Any subsequent change to the display peripheral will
be ignored.
The TOE will reject any display device that does not present valid EDID content.
An LED on the rear panel of the TOE will indicate a rejected display device.
Belkin Secure KVM DC-4 Security Target
Doc No: 2297-001-D102 Version: 1.2 Date: 2025 March 5 Page 53
The TOE supports DisplayPort versions 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 (video input/output).
For DisplayPort connections, the TOE video function filters the AUX channel by
converting it to I2C EDID only. DisplayPort video is converted into an HDMI
video stream, and the I2C EDID lines connected to the emulated EDID EEPROM
functions as shown in the figures above. This allows EDID to be passed from the
display to the computer (as described above) and allows Hot-Plug Detection
(HPD) and Link Training information to pass through the TOE. AUX channel
threats are mitigated through the conversion from DisplayPort to HDMI
protocols. Traffic types including USB, Ethernet, MCCS, and EDID write from the
computer to the display are blocked by the TOE. High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP) and Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) functions are not
connected.
The TOE video function blocks MCCS write transactions through the emulated
EDID EEPROMs. The emulated EEPROMs support only EDID read transactions,
and are isolated by the write protect switch.
Following triggering of the anti-tampering function, following a failed self-test, or
when the TOE is powered off, all video input signals are isolated from other
video inputs and from the video output interfaces by the active video re-drivers.
Emulated EDID EEPROMs may still operate since they are powered by their
respective computers; however, the video function remains isolated.
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FDP_IPC_EXT.1,
FDP_SPR_EXT.1/DP, FDP_UDF_EXT.1/VI.
9.1.4 Video Compatible Device Types
The TOE accepts any DisplayPort display device at the video peripheral ports.
The TOE does not support a wireless connection to a video display.
The number of video displays supported by each device model is indicated in
Table 2.
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FDP_PDC_EXT.1,
FDP_PDC_EXT.2/VI, FDP_PDC_EXT.3/VI, FDP_CDS_EXT.1(1),
FDP_CDS_EXT.1(2).
9.1.5 User Authentication Device Switching
Functionality
The TOE supports the use of an external user authentication device with a
feature called Freeze USB (fUSB). The TOE does not support internal user
authentication devices.
By default, only standard USB smart-card readers or biometric authentication
devices with USB smart-card class interfaces that comply with the USB
Organization standard Chip Card Interface Device (CCID) Revision 1.1 or CCID
Revision 1.0 will be accepted by the TOE on the fUSB port. This function is
separate and physically isolated from the USB connections for keyboard and
mouse. The user authentication device must be able to receive power from the
Belkin Secure KVM DC-4 Security Target
Doc No: 2297-001-D102 Version: 1.2 Date: 2025 March 5 Page 54
TOE. An external power source, such as power from the connected computer, is
prohibited for this interface. The TOE does not receive power from the computer
user authentication device interface. This restriction is indicated in the applicable
user guidance.
Computer interfaces are isolated. Each fUSB computer interface uses
independent circuitry and power planes. There is no shared circuitry, and no
shared logical functions.
The System Controller drives the mode select switch that initially routes the
device USB to the microcontroller. The qualification microcontroller uses the
predefined USB qualification parameters and compares them with the discovered
USB device parameters. If the parameters match, the device is accepted. The
System Controller then switches the mode switch to the USB multiplexer. The
USB multiplexer receives channel selected commands from the system controller
function to allow the connection to the computer selected by the user. The data
path used by the user authentication device is fully isolated from all other user
data paths and functions.
When a user switches from one connected computer to another, the TOE resets
the user authentication device through power supply switching, i.e. a temporary
power dip. This is performed by High-side Power switches on the System
Controller board that switch 5V power to the fUSB device jack. A load field-effect
transistor (FET) shorts the supply voltage to the ground to quickly discharge any
capacitance in the TOE or in the connected device to a level below 0.5V.
The TOE does not emulate or process user authentication device data.
Therefore, no data retention is possible.
Following a failed self-test, or when the TOE is powered off, all user
authentication device data paths are isolated through the peripheral multiplexer.
These events effectively disconnect any open authentication session. Removal of
the authentication device or removal of the authentication element (e.g., smart
card) will also close the authentication session.

FDP_UAI_EXT.1.
9.1.5.1 User Authentication Compatible Device Types
The TOE does not include an authentication device, but accepts any USB Smart
Card device at the fUSB peripheral port. Only USB Type A connections are
permitted. The TOE does not support a wireless connection to an authentication
device.

9.2 PROTECTION OF THE TSF
9.2.1 No Access to TOE
Connected computers and peripherals do not have access to TOE firmware or
memory, with the following exceptions:
• EDID data is accessible to connected computers from the TOE
All of the TOE microcontrollers run from internal protected flash memory.
Firmware cannot be updated from an external source. Firmware cannot be read
or rewritten through the use of Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) tools. Firmware is
executed on Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) with the appropriate
protections to prevent external access and tampering of code or stacks.
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FPT_NTA_EXT.1.
9.2.2 Anti-tampering Functionality
The TOE provides both passive physical tampering detection and active
resistance to physical tampering (anti-tampering) functionality. Active and
passive anti-tampering is provided on the devices and on the remote control.
9.2.2.1 Passive Detection of Physical Tampering
The TOE enclosure was designed specifically to prevent physical tampering. It
features a stainless-steel welded chassis and panels that prevent external access
through bending or brute force.
Additionally, each device is fitted with one or more holographic Tampering
Evident Labels placed at critical locations on the TOE enclosure. The remote
control also has a Tampering Evident Label placed at a critical location. Any
attempt to open the enclosure or remove a Tampering Evident Label results in
the label being damaged so that the user can detect that the attempt to
physically tamper with it occurred.
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FPT_PHP.1.
9.2.2.2 Resistance to Physical Attack
The anti-tampering system is mechanically coupled to the TOE enclosure to
detect any attempt to access the TOE internal circuitry. The active anti-
tampering mechanism described in this section applies to both the KVM switch
and the remote control.
Any attempt to separate the pieces of the enclosure to access the internal
circuitry will trigger the anti-tampering function. Power is provided to the
circuitry by the TOE power supply and by a backup battery. If the self-test
detects that the battery is depleted or failing, the anti-tampering function will be
triggered.
When the anti-tampering function is triggered, it causes an internal microscopic
fuse on the System Controller (on-die) to melt. This permanently disables all
interfaces and user functions of the device, and causes the front panel LEDs to
Belkin Secure KVM DC-4 Security Target
Doc No: 2297-001-D102 Version: 1.2 Date: 2025 March 5 Page 56
blink sequentially and continuously. The TOE anti-tampering function is
irreversible.
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FPT_FLS_EXT.1, FPT_PHP.3.
9.2.3 TSF Testing
The TOE performs a self-test at initial start-up. The self-test runs independently
at each microcontroller and performs the following checks:
• Verification of the front panel push-buttons
• Verification of the active anti-tampering functionality, including the
continued functionality of the backup battery
• Verification of the integrity of the microcontroller firmware
• Verification of computer port isolation. This is tested by sending test
packets to various interfaces and attempting to detect this traffic at all
other interfaces
If the self-test fails, the LEDs on the front panel blink. The TOE disables the PSD
switching functionality, and remains in a disabled state until the self-test is
rerun and passes.
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FPT_FLS_EXT.1, FPT_TST.1,
FPT_TST_EXT.1.
9.3 TOE ACCESS
The TOE user switches between computers by pressing the corresponding front
panel button on the device or on the remote control. The Multi-Viewer models
(F1DN104MVKVMDC4 and F1DN108MVKVMDC4) may also be switched with
peripheral devices using a guard. When the switching mechanism is initiated, a
signal is sent and the TOE peripheral sharing device switches to the indicated
channel. The front panel button of the KVM or the remote control button
corresponding to the selected computer will illuminate.
On power up or power up following reset, all peripherals are connected to
channel #1, and the corresponding push button LED will be illuminated.
TOE Security Functional Requirements addressed: FTA_CIN_EXT.1.

Notes:
1
SRAM stores USB Host stack parameters and up to the last 4 key-codes. Data is erased during power off of the KVM, and when the
user switches channels. Device emulators receive power from the individual connected computers and therefore devices are powered on
as long as the associated computer is powered on and connected.
2
Flash storage is used to store firmware code. It contains no user data. Flash storage is permanently locked by fuses after initial
programming to prevent rewriting. It is an integral part of the ST Microcontroller together with SRAM and EEPROM.
3
EEPROM is used to store operational parameters, such as display Plug & Play. They contain no user data. These devices receive power
from the individual computers connected to the TOE, and therefore are powered on as long as the associated computer is powered on
and connected.
4
EEPROM is used to store operational parameters, such as display Plug & Play, and contains no user data.
