Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for implementing a software-based security abstraction engine in a one-way transfer (OWT) system. In examples, data is received at a first device in the OWT system. A first set of policies is identified based on a dataflow identifier associated with the transfer of the data. A policy engine associated with the first set of policies applies the first set of policies to the data to create digital signatures. The digital signatures are evaluated by the security abstraction engine to determine whether the set of digital signatures is valid. If the digital signatures are determined to be valid, a provenance digital signature is created for the data and a second set of policies is applied to the data. The data is then transmitted to a second device or destination in the OWT system based on the dataflow identifier.

Abstract: Methods and systems for method for video streaming in a one-way transfer (OWT) system. An example method includes transmitting, from a source computing environment, a video stream for receipt by a destination computing device in a destination computing environment. The video stream is duplicated into a primary video stream and a secondary video stream, both of which are received by a switching device. When the switching device detects an interruption in one of the duplicate data streams, the other stream is transmitted to the destination computing device.

Abstract: We disclose a technology implemented on a computer that automates sequential display of messages, typically videos, which appear on a user's display screen in the same place or in overlapping areas of a single window in a browser. In particular, this relates to displaying a message that arbitrarily may be in a different format than a requested video, with the first message programmed to appear before or after the requested video in substantially the same area of the user's display screen where the requested video will appear or has appeared. The message and the requested video are sequenced without any need to match formats or players used.
