Abstract

A system that allows movement of information from a source network to a destination network, but prohibits movement of information from the destination network to the source network. A low-side network interface receives a request, and a low-side processor analyzes the request to determine whether it is allowable. A high-side processor denies all request and data from the destination network. In this manner, the high-side processor allows no information to flow from the destination network to the source network.
