Security

What kind of encryption does the Dominion KSX use?

The Dominion KSX uses industry-standard (and extremely secure) 128-bit RC4, 128 bit AES or 256bit AES encryption, both in its SSL communications as well as its own data stream. Literally no data is transmitted between remote clients and KSX II that is not completely secured by encryption.

Does the Dominion KSX support AES encryption as recommended by the US Government's NIST and FIPs standards?

The Dominion KSX utilizes the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption for added security.

AES is a US government approved cryptographic algorithm that is recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the FIPS Standard 197.

Does the Dominion KSX allow encryption of video data? Or does it only encrypt keyboard and mouse data?

Unlike competing solutions, which only encrypt keyboard and mouse data, the Dominion KSX does not compromise security; it allows encryption of keyboard, mouse and video data.

How does the Dominion KSX integrate with external authentication servers such as Active Directory, RADIUS, or LDAP/S?

Through a very simple configuration, the Dominion KSX can be set to forward all authentication requests to an external server such as LDAP/S, Active Directory, or RADIUS. For each authenticated user, the Dominion KSX receives from the authentication server the user group to which that user belongs. The Dominion KSX then determines the user's access permissions depending on the user group to which he or she belongs.

How are usernames and passwords stored?

Should the Dominion KSX's internal authentication capabilities be used, all sensitive information such as usernames and passwords are stored in an encrypted format. Literally no one, including Raritan technical support or Product Engineering departments, can retrieve those usernames and passwords.

Does the Dominion KSX support strong password?

Yes, the Dominion KSX 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.

If the Dominion KSX Encryption Mode is set to Auto, what level of encryption is achieved?

The Dominion KSX has the ability to support AES-256. For this to happen, Java unlimited strength policy files have to be loaded on the client machine. Once this is enabled, the encryption level that is auto-negotiated when the mode is set to AUTO is as
