Secure data export and auditing using data diodes
Douglas W. Jones, Tom C. Bowersox · Conference on Electronic voting technology/workshop on trustworthy elections · 2006
Data diodes, that is, devices which permit only one-way communication, without even a reverse channel for acknowledgment, have many potential uses within voting systems. A practical design for a data diode is presented that is simpler and more nearly self-evident than previously published designs. Communication protocols appropriate for use in the voting context are described. Throughout, we emphasize designs that permit a relatively naive observer to determine that it meets key security constraints.
