Diodes are electrical components which allow current to only travel in one direction in a circuit. Diodes are often depicted in circuits as a triangle together with a vertical line, which it is pointing to and touching.\u00a0The side with the triangle is known as the anode which is the positive terminal whereas the side with the vertical line is\u00a0known as the cathode, which is the negative terminal. Theoretically, the\u00a0positive side of the diode has zero resistance whereas the resistance on the negative side\u00a0is infinitely high. As such, current is only able\u00a0to flow from the positive to the negative terminals and not the opposite direction\u00a0as the infinitely high resistance prevents electrons from flowing in the opposite direction.\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>Similarly, in terms of their function, data diodes are hardware devices which allow\u00a0for the one-way transfer of data and information.\u00a0However, though similar in function to unidirectional security gateways, data diodes are not necessarily the same and should not be confused with them.\u00a0Unidirectional security gateways\u00a0can sometimes be\u00a0sophisticated\u00a0combination of\u00a0uni-directional\u00a0technology and hardware allowing for bi-directional data transfer\u00a0for specific use cases\u00a0whereas data diodes\u00a0themselves are simply\u00a0uni-directional\u00a0hardware solutions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b3c8dbf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b3c8dbf\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-16d8afc\" data-id=\"16d8afc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52bb987 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"52bb987\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why and How are data diodes used?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-75b03da elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"75b03da\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-19dd90f\" data-id=\"19dd90f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5f225d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a5f225d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Typically, data diodes are placed between 2 networks of differing security levels, one being more secure and the other having a lower security\u00a0level.\u00a0Such systems are separated in order to protect highly sensitive\u00a0data, which is known as an air gapped network.\u00a0This often takes place in a military or in critical networks which will be further elaborated on\u00a0later.\u00a0Traditionally, organizations used portable\u00a0media like USBs or DVDs to transfer data across the segregated networks\u00a0but this would make the purpose of segregating the\u00a0networks\u00a0self-defeating\u00a0since the malicious software can be spread through the removable\u00a0media.\u00a0However, the requirement for data exchange between\u00a0such segregated systems is rising, and\u00a0as such\u00a0a huge security risk\u00a0arises from such data exchange.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ead2c23 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ead2c23\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a19ac7d\" data-id=\"a19ac7d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86dce19 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"86dce19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!

The\u00a0presence of a data diode when information is transferred from the more secured network to the less secured network ensures that data can only travel in a single direction and that no malicious actor is able\u00a0to take advantage of the connection in the opposite direction to access the\u00a0more secure network\u00a0in order\u00a0to\u00a0manipulate it.\u00a0This safeguards the information in the more secure server, bolstering its security.\u00a0<br \/>Secondly, data diodes are also used when data is\u00a0transferred\u00a0from a network of lower security to\u00a0a network of higher\u00a0security. This enables information to be collected from the lower security network,\u00a0compiled,\u00a0and sent back to the higher security network. As such, no sensitive data can be compromised and leaked through the same channel, thus keeping the networks safe.\u00a0<br \/>Going\u00a0on to\u00a0the next point, which is explaining how data diodes function and work, here is an analogy. Think of a water pipe. Water\u00a0can\u00a0flow in either direction\u00a0within\u00a0the pipe. Now add a one-way valve in the pipe. Water is now only able\u00a0to flow in a single direction. Think of a diode as a valve with the main parts of the diode being parts of the valve. There is a transmitter on one end and a receiver on the other end. Data is transmitted from the transmitter and received by the receiver. It is physically unable\u00a0to go in the opposite direction. This can also be achieved through the send and\u00a0receive transceivers in a data transfer cable\u00a0being disabled in one direction and any link failure protection systems being disabled. Meanwhile, proxies\u00a0in the network interface of data diodes allow for two-way communication to continue unhindered on each side of the data diode.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8fbb0a9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8fbb0a9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9fa5ec2\" data-id=\"9fa5ec2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dca4199 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dca4199\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"865\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/athenadynamics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/YOUNG-WRITERS-SERIES-1-865x487.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7208\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/athenadynamics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/YOUNG-WRITERS-SERIES-1-865x487.png 865w, https:\/\/athenadynamics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/YOUNG-WRITERS-SERIES-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/athenadynamics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/YOUNG-WRITERS-SERIES-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/athenadynamics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/YOUNG-WRITERS-SERIES-1-107x60.png 107w, https:\/\/athenadynamics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/YOUNG-WRITERS-SERIES-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 865px) 100vw, 865px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Diagram A) Data Diode Hardware of GateScanner Injector, one of our data diode brands <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-43766a9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"43766a9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6c1a182\" data-id=\"6c1a182\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc3fe1e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dc3fe1e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"865\" height=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/athenadynamics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/download-865x253.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7221\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/athenadynamics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/download-865x253.png 865w, https:\/\/athenadynamics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/download-768x225.png 768w, https:\/\/athenadynamics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/download-205x60.png 205w, https:\/\/athenadynamics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/download.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 865px) 100vw, 865px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Diagram B) Use of GateScanner Injector Data Diodes <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b64c168 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b64c168\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5381be3\" data-id=\"5381be3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82d21ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"82d21ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
