Under this contract, Coretec will work with the OPSWAT team to install, implement and maintain a One-way Data Gateway/Data Diode System. We will replace the in-house data diode system currently used for the reactor data. The new data diode will capture ethernet messages through various industrial protocols from the transmitter side ("anode") located on the reactor OT network. These messages will then be compiled and stored in an SQL database on the research network's receiver side ("cathode"). The cathode is the receiver side of the data diode and is located on the research IT network.
