Type: non-GNU

Description:
PGD - Pretty Good Diode

Goal
Provide secure one-way only communication.

Description
This project will create a software solution, combined with a description
of the necessary hardware, that will allow the safe connection of two
seperate networks.  The software (in combination with the hardware) will
provide guaranteed one-way communication between two devices (e.g.
computers).  The hardware will be connected using a modified UTP cable to
only allow one way communication.  The software will provide a way to send
data through this one-way connection. 

This solution will allow people to connect e.g. an internet connected
network with an internal back office network without having to worry about
leakage of information from the internal network.  It will also shield the
internal network from the possibility of live internal network intrusion
from the external network, because no statefull connection is possible in
both directions.  It will not shield the internal network of malicious
data, this will have to be dealt with with a content scanner of some
sort!

Source code
The source code will be written in C# and will be running in the Mono
environment.  First alpha version of PGD code (sender/receiver) will be
available shortly, I do not have sourcecode yet!
