Ridgefield, Connecticut, December 13, 2010 -- Owl Computing Technologies, Inc., the premier source for secure, reliable, fast, one-way information sharing, has been granted US Patent 7,675,867 for a “One-Way Data Transfer System with Built-in Data Verification Mechanism.” The Patent Office award occurred in Q1 2010. Owl is now commercializing the technology, and will bring it to general availability early in Q1 2011 as the Owl Secure Acknowledgement Engine OSAE. The patent concept, realized in the commercial product, satisfies users sending information across Owl Cross Domain Solutions with assurance on the reception & status of the one-way data transfers. This acknowledgement information is completely independent of the one-way data transfer and cannot compromise the transfer solution’s integrity.

For organizations designated US critical infrastructure, the Owl Secure Acknowledgement Engine provides process control operators with assurance that information sent out to lower security business networks has been successfully received – without opening an inbound path for malicious code or malware. For Owl government customers, OSAE enables acknowledgements from higher security domains to lower security access networks, assuring senders that data has been received for analysis & action.

“We at Owl recognize that many clients in our government and energy markets require delivery confirmation of individual content transfers,” stated Dr. Ron Mraz, Owl Computing President & CTO. “We’ve devised an integrated, small-form, solution to provide transfer acknowledgements while maintaining strict DualDiode® data transfer confidentiality.”

OSAE can support a variety of acknowledgement schemes, including content receipt at final user destination. Ron elaborated: “Clients shown our idea are excited about this added measure of system feedback. They’ve grown accustomed to the reliability of Owl hardware & software. The ACK engine gives them confidence in the other elements of a data transfer – a full end-to-end perspective. The added functionality raises the bar for information assurance.”

See demonstrations of OSAE at AFCEA West 2011, San Diego, January 25-27, and USEUCOMi3T, Berlin, February 14-17. Or call for a briefing and demo of Owl solutions.
