Abstract:
A unidirectional transfer protocol allows data to be transmitted from a non-secure network into a secure network. A non-secure gateway may receive data and/or information, intended for the secure network, from one or more devices. The gateway may fragment the data and/or information into smaller chunks and transmit the chunks to a secure gateway via a unidirectional communication channel. The secure gateway may verify the chunks using one or more rules and reassemble the chunks when the data is validated. The reassembled data may be sent across a secure network enclave. The unidirectional transfer protocol may provide a hardware-agnostic solution for transmitting data over a unidirectional communication channel.
