Highlights
Kratos' CyberC4:Proxy allows a seamless interface between Kratos’ satellite ground equipment and point-to-point Cross-Domain Solutions (CDS), such as CyberC4:Guard and 3rd party CDS systems that support XML schema validation.
CyberC4:Proxy provides greater control and management of connections to endpoints. Multiple proxies can be used to provide failover and load-balancing to handle connections efficiently and scale to meet performance/availability requirements.
CyberC4:Proxy translates GEMS command and status messages to and from guard appropriate XML for secure transfer using XML schema validation. Kratos GEMS formatted status messages enter the CDS system from the low-side via the Black-Side Proxy. The Black-Side Proxy performs a preliminary rule check using XML schema validation. The message is then passed on to the CDS. The CDS validates the message using its rule-set and XML schema validation. If the message does not pass validation, the message is logged and dropped. If the message passes validation, it is then forwarded on to the Red-Side Proxy Server. The Red-Side Proxy Server logs the message and makes it available on the appropriate output port.
GEMS Control messages enter the CDS system from the high-side via the Red-Side Proxy Server. The Red-Side Proxy Server logs the message, translates the GEMS message to guard appropriate XML, performs preliminary XML schema validation, and forwards it to the CDS. The CDS validates the message against the rule-set and forwards it to the Black-Side Proxy Server. The Black-Side Proxy Server logs the message, translates the XML to GEMS, and sends it to the endpoint on the appropriate output port.
