Method and system for a remote console for secure kvm switch

Abstract

A computing system, a secure peripheral sharing device, a remote console subsystem and a method for operating a remote console over a secure peripheral sharing device is disclosed. The computing system comprising a plurality of hosts; a console comprising at least a keyboard, a mouse and a display; a secure peripheral sharing device; and a remote console subsystem comprising at least another keyboard, another mouse and another display. The secure peripheral sharing device is configured to be connected to the console and the plurality of hosts, the peripheral sharing device is configured to be coupled to the remote console subsystem that is located away from the peripheral sharing device, and the secure peripheral sharing device is configured to connect or couple between either the console or the remote console subsystem and an active host of the plurality of hosts. The peripheral sharing device is configured to switch any one of the plurality of hosts to become the active host. The method receiving requests for open new remote console sessions and upon such request open a remote console session in both the side of the secure peripheral sharing device and the remote console subsystem, and as long as the remote session is active the method performs continuously: receiving video stream from the active host and transferring the video stream to the second display; receiving a keyboard and mouse data from the second keyboard and the second mouse and transferring the keyboard and mouse data to the active host; and upon receiving active host switching commands from a user, switching the active host. The method is receiving requests for close remote console sessions and upon such request close the remote console session and resume working of active host with the console.
