Introduction
The Data Diode Engine (DD Engine) is a proxy software designed to work seamlessly with hardware Data Diodes to enable secure, one-way data flows between network zones. This makes for a modular implementation which allows the customer to choose the host machines on which the proxies run. It allows flexibility in choosing the infrastructure best suited for specific environment and compliance needs.
The proxy server connected to the source, or Upstream, network provides services translating bidirectional communication into a unidirectional protocol that can be transferred through the Data Diode hardware. The proxy server connected to the destination, or Downstream, network receives and recreates the original data before sending it on to the intended receiver.
