Claim 11:
12. A device for transferring electronic information from a lesser trusted network to a trusted network comprising:
a first electrical zone for receiving original electronic information to be transferred;
a second electrical zone comprising a verifier for verifying at least one predetermined characteristic of the original electronic information to be transferred so as to provide a verifier output status and verified electronic information;
at least one pathway for transferring the original electronic information between the first electrical zone and second electrical zone in one direction only; and
a third electrical zone for receiving the verified electronic information from the second electrical zone;
wherein the original electronic information from the first electrical zone is always received by the third electrical zone via the second electrical zone as a verified electronic information in either a transformed state or an untransformed state, the device further comprising a time delay generator for delaying an input of the original electronic information to be received by the first electrical zone, wherein the time delay generator is configured to predict a state of the second electrical zone in dependence upon a computation for verifying the original electronic information at the second electrical zone and is configured to provide a predicted time delay to the original electronic information at the first electrical zone.
