Abstract:
Systems and methods of a security architecture for a connected aircraft are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, an avionics server comprises a plurality of device ports, wherein each of the plurality of device ports is coupled to a respective one of a plurality of device network interface cards and dedicated to a respective one of a plurality of avionics domains which corresponds to the respective device network interface card. Further, at least one processing device is configured to identify one or more signals from a respective user received at one or more of the plurality of device ports and to verify whether the user has access to the respective avionics domains that are dedicated to the one or more device ports over which the one or more signals are received.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for monitoring cyber activity in a system having multiple networks. A method includes: receiving an evidence stream generated by a plurality of monitoring systems associated with a plurality of hardware and software components that communicate over the multiple networks; processing the evidence stream using at least one reference model to identify at least one cyber issue, where the cyber issue relates to at least one of security, safety, and resources; and generating at least one of actuator data and user interface data based on the identified cyber issue.
Abstract:
A ground remote control system for an aircraft includes a security pairing device configured to establish a first secure communication link and protocol between a remote control device and a ground remote control system controller; and establish a second secure communication link and protocol, using the first communication link and protocol between the remote control device and the ground remote control system controller. The ground remote control system controller is configured to receive drive command signals, brake command signals, steering command signals, and power command signals, from the remote control device and generate the electronic drive commands, the electronic brake commands, the electronic steering commands, and the electronic power commands.
