Abstract
A data diode provides a flexible device for collecting data from a data source and transmitting the data to a data destination using one-way data transmission. On-board processing elements allow the data diode to identify automatically the type of connectivity provided to the data diode and configure the data diode to handle the identified type of connectivity.
Claims20
A data diode, comprising:
- a first network interface circuitry, comprising:
- a first processing element;
- a first network connector, coupled to the first processing element;
- and
- a second network interface circuitry, comprising:
- a second processing element;
- and
- a second network connector, coupled to the second processing element;
- a one-way data bridge coupled between the first processing element and the second processing element that allows data flow from the first processing element to the second processing element and physically prohibits data flow from the second processing element to the first processing element;
- a first firmware comprising instructions that when executed cause the first processing element to:
- automatically determine which of a predetermined plurality of protocols is used for communications via the first network connector;
- and
- configure the first processing element to transmit the data across the one-way data bridge to the second processing element responsive to the determination;
- and
- a second firmware comprising instructions that when executed cause the second processing element to:
- automatically determine which of a predetermined plurality of protocols is used for communications via the second network connector;
- and
- configure the second processing element to transmit data received across the one-way data bridge by the second processing element responsive to the determination.
