PCoIP Technology User Guide

Security
• The PCoIP Portal is a stateless desktop
device with no locally-stored host data or
embedded Windows or Linux operating
system to be compromised
• Host/Portal communication uses two secured
streams. The control data stream is secured
using digital certificates for mutual
authentication. The media data stream is
secured by an AES encryption algorithm
• USB access is fully configurable and may be
authorized or blocked by Class or
Vendor/Device ID. Any blocked USB devices
are terminated at the Portal to ensure that
security is not compromised
IT Support
• Neither Host nor Portal use an embedded
Windows or Linux operating system allowing
easier and less costly IT support
• The Portal does not need special drivers for
peripheral support - all USB devices are
transparently bridged to the host PC
• A PCoIP System provides the familiar PC user
experience reducing end-user training
requirements vs. other remoting technologies
• For users who do not need the rich experience
of PCoIP Technology, the Portal can also be
used as an RDP client
