    Publication number: 20230269242
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to providing near real-time communications from a public network to a private network. A first computing device in a public network can obtain data packets to be provided to the private network from an application executing on the first computing device. A trust module executed by the first computing device can authenticate the user, application, and the data packets to be provided to the private network and add metadata relating to the sending user, recipient user, etc. The data packets can be forwarded to the private network via a cross-domain system (CDS). The metadata and the digital signature on the data packets can be verified by a trust module executing on a second computing device in the private network. The second computing device can receive the data packets and store the data packets for subsequent actions to be performed in the private network.

    Patent number: 11586190
    Abstract: A method operates a technical or non-technical system. At least one information element of a first type which relates to the system and is dependent on the respective system state of the system is transmitted according to the method from at least one first facility of the system to at least one second facility. The second facility uses at least one information element of a second type which originates neither from the first facility nor from a different facility of the system, i.e. it comes from a source other than the system, to estimate the system state, checks, on the basis of the estimated system state, whether the received information matches the estimated system state to a predefined extent, and, in the event of a match to the predefined extent, regards the information as trusted, and otherwise generates a warning signal indicating a possible data attack.
