Assessing the Security of Airborne Networks

As designers and developers of avionics, we find ourselves challenged by the need to maintain safety guarantees while providing connectivity options that threaten to expose airborne networks to today's internet security hazards. In this presentation, we discuss six approaches to security assessments of airborne systems, including risk assessment and security design assessments defined in existing standards such as NIST 800-30 and CLUSIF Mehari, and those in new and emerging standards.
