Description

The Sphyrna HFD (Hardware Filtering Diode) is an FPGA-based hardware filtering CDS with a flexible architecture capable of providing PFD (protocol filtering diode) functionality at wire speed with enough logic capacity to provide advanced in-stream filtering of structured file formats with filtering conducted entirely in hardware. Designed to be Raise The Bar compliant.

NGXS HFD Data Diode Details

FPGA Component

  • High volume of logic cells for advanced filtering
    • 650K logic cells
    • 597K flip flops
  • Integrated Quad-core Arm Cortex management CPU

Flexible Logging options

  • Logging to source (ingress interface)
  • Logging to destination (egress interface)
  • 25Gbps (SFP28) dedicated logging interface

Filtering

  • All filtering performed at wire speed
  • Filtering for ISO layers 2-4, including header flags and CRC checks.

Management

  • 1Gbps Ethernet interface (optional)
  • USB-C interface (optional)
  • GPIO interfaces for anti-tamper sensors

Data Interfaces

  • 25Gbps (SFP28) bidirectional ingress interface
  • 25Gbps (SFP28) TX-only egress interface (bidirectional applications possible with appropriate bitstream and optional jumper)

Security Mechanisms

  • All filtering performed in logic (no CPU or softCPU used)
  • Ingress and Egress interfaces in separate FPGA quads
  • All interfaces can ben disabled by the management CPU or in logic
  • Dedicated memory for filter logic (not accessible from management CPU)
  • rulesets are encrypted and signed. Decryption performed directly in logic
  • Physical and logical unidirectional assurance
  • Can provide a complete protocol break
  • Can provide a complete encryption break
