Abstract
File management methods are disclosed, in which a host acquires at least one input signal from an input device via a keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) switch having a security key and determines whether the input signal comprises a first request for encrypting or decrypting at least one specific file. When the input signal comprises the first request by the host, the host acquires the security key from the KVM switch and encrypts or decrypts the specific file via the security key.
Claims20
A file management method, comprising:
- acquiring at least one input signal by a host from an input device via a keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) switch having a security key;
- determining whether the input signal comprises a first request for encrypting/decrypting at least one specific file by the host;
- acquiring the security key from the KVM switch by the host when the input signal comprises the first request;
- and
- encrypting or decrypting the specific file via the security key by the host.
A resource sharing apparatus, comprising:
- a keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) switch coupled to at least one input device and comprising at least one security key;
- and
- at least one host coupled to the input device via the KVM switch, when receiving a first request for encrypting or decrypting at least one specific file from the input device, acquiring the security key from the KVM switch and encrypting or decrypting the specific file via the security key.
A keyboard video mouse (KVM) switch coupled between at least one host and at least one input device, comprising:
- a security key storage storing at least one security key;
- and
- a control unit outputting the security key in the security key storage to the host when receiving a request from the host, such that the host encrypts/decrypts at least one specific file according to the security key.
