  • Patent number: 10998975
    Abstract: An information flow control device has: a first network interface card on a transmission side, the first network interface card including first and second transceivers, each of the first and second transceivers having a transmit port and a receive port; and a second network interface card on a receiving side, the second network interface card including at least one receive port. A first data connection segment connects the first transceiver transmit port to the second transceiver receive port, a second data connection segment connects the second transceiver transmit port to the first transceiver receive port, and a third data connection segment connects the first transceiver transmit port to the receive port of the second network interface card. The first and second segments provide continuity, while the third segment provides one-way data transfer. The first and second transceivers are replaceable with third and fourth transceivers to provide different throughput.

  • Patent number: 8353022
    Abstract: A bilateral data transfer system comprising a first node, a second node, a first one-way link for unidirectional transfer of first data from the first node to the second node, and a second one-way link for unidirectional transfer of second data from the second node to the first node, wherein the unidirectional transfer of the first data across the first one-way link and the unidirectional transfer of the second data across the second one-way link are independently administered by the bilateral data transfer system. Under such bilateral data transfer system, each of the one-way data links may be subject to separately administered security restrictions and data filtering processes. Hence, it enables secure bilateral communications across different network security domains.
