Real-Time Secure Video Transfer

Providing visibility into what is displayed on a device in a lower-security environment can offer valuable insights. 4Secure has delivered cross-domain solutions to securely transport real-time video into a higher-security environment.

4Secure’s TrustedFilter™ platform-agnostic application transforms a video stream into a specific codec, and passes the stream across a unidirectional device into a destination network. After verifying that the stream has transformed successfully, the stream is then retransformed into its original format. If at any point an issue is detected during the transmission, the solution will stop the video stream from being transmitted to the high-security domain. Transforming a video stream into a different codec will protect against attacks on the video codec itself. 4Secure accomplish this real-time transformation and verification capability on a real-time HD video stream all within single appliance.

The 5-Step approach to Cross-Domain real-time secure video transfer with TrustedFilter™

1. Source System Caster

The TrustedFilter™ caster client is deployed on a device within the source network, where it records the screen and transmits this video as a continuous stream to the unidirectional flow control device.

2. Transformation

TrustedFilter™ is installed onto the send-side of unidirectional flow control device and transforms the video stream into a specific codec.

3. Hardware Enforced Protocol Break & Air Gap

The TrustedFilter™ unidirectional flow control device terminates TCP/IP and transforms data into non-routable cells of data in FPGA. The core data payload is transported via unidirectional optical fibre. The data payload is reassembled in FPGA into TCP/IP sent to an instance of TrustedFilter™ software on the receive-side of the unidirectional flow control device.

4. Verification and Retransformation

TrustedFilter™ first confirms the successful transformation of the video stream into another codec. Upon successful verification, TrustedFilter™ will optionally re-transform the video stream back to its original codec.

5. Destination System Viewer

The video stream is delivered to a device on the destination network where it is received by the TrustedFilter™ viewing client and made visible to users.

Enabling TrustedFilter™ Applications

TrustedFilter™ SECUREstream

  • Screen casting application for securely monitoring and sharing a device screen from a low-security domain through a unidirectional appliance to a high-security domain in real-time. 
  • Transforms video stream codec, verifies transformation before restoring it to the original format following transmission across a unidirectional appliance.
