 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +Offline Transfer moves information or [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:artifact|Artifacts]] between environments without using a direct network connection between the source and destination environments.
 +
 +Offline Transfer may use:
 +
 +  * Removable storage media
 +  * An intermediary transfer device
 +  * A physically transported storage system
 +  * An approved transfer appliance
 +  * A controlled staging environment
 +  * A manually operated import and export process
 +
 +Offline Transfer commonly applies when one or both environments are:
 +
 +  * [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:disconnected_environment|Disconnected Environments]]
 +  * [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:air-gapped_environment|Air-Gapped Environments]]
 +  * Subject to restricted network connectivity
 +  * Separated by a security or administrative boundary
 +
 +An Offline Transfer may include activities such as:
 +
 +  * Selecting the transfer content
 +  * Creating a transfer bundle
 +  * Authorizing the transfer
 +  * Recording the source and destination
 +  * Verifying bundle integrity
 +  * Scanning for prohibited or malicious content
 +  * Physically transporting the transfer medium
 +  * Importing the transfer bundle
 +  * Recording the transfer result
 +
 +Offline Transfer differs from online transfer:
 +
 +  * Offline Transfer does not use a direct network connection between the source and destination environments
 +  * Online transfer transmits content through a network path connecting the participating environments
 +
 +The use of removable media alone does not establish a controlled Offline Transfer. Applicable authorization, integrity, inspection, handling, and accountability controls determine whether the transfer satisfies its requirements.

 +===== Definition =====

 +//transfer of information or artifacts between environments without a direct network connection between the source and destination environments//

 +===== Source =====

 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +Offline does not necessarily mean that every device participating in the transfer lacks network connectivity. The defining characteristic is the absence of a direct network transfer path between the source and destination environments for the transfer being performed.
 +
 +An Offline Transfer may cross one or more [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:transfer_boundary|Transfer Boundaries]].
 +
 +Applicable requirements may govern:
 +
 +  * Transfer Authorization
 +  * Permitted content
 +  * Permitted media
 +  * Encryption
 +  * Integrity verification
 +  * Malware scanning
 +  * Chain of custody
 +  * Import and export records
 +  * Media sanitization
 +  * Retention and disposal
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +An operator exports an approved transfer bundle from a Connected Environment to encrypted removable media, physically carries the media to an Air-Gapped Environment, verifies the bundle integrity, and imports the bundle through an authorized process.
